LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel City Football Club (ACFC) welcomes Pacsun as its latest Team Level Partner today. This collaboration marks a significant step forward for both entities, fostering a strong connection between the globally recognized football club and the renowned Southern California-based lifestyle apparel/retail brand.

Pacsun is Gen Z's leading purpose-driven youth retailer, inspiring the next generation of youth, by building community at the intersection of fashion, music, art, and sport, with 325 retail locations across the United States. Rooted in Southern California culture, Pacsun curates styles in Los Angeles and extends beyond fashion offerings to empower youth expression throughout its global community.

In 2020, the brand expanded its impact with the introduction of PacCares, a philanthropic initiative focused on mental health, female empowerment, and social justice. Additionally, with its ongoing commitment to youth culture, Pacsun recently announced The Pacsun Collective, a national initiative that invites its community to join the creative processes and help shape the future of the brand through co-creation.

As a fellow Los Angeles-based brand, Pacsun has actively invested in local sports franchises, including LAFC and the LA Rams. Recognizing ACFC's community impact and cultural significance beyond sports, Pacsun sees an opportunity to engage a broader audience while supporting women's sports, complementing their investment in men's teams. The collaboration promises to showcase the synergy between the brands, leveraging Pacsun's retail stores in Los Angeles for increased visibility.

As with all ACFC partnerships where 10% is reallocated back into the community, Angel City FC and Pacsun are collaborating with Las Fotos Project, directing the creative lens of their photographers towards capturing the essence of this partnership. Pacsun's engagement with Las Fotos Project extends beyond this collaboration, potentially encompassing other product shoots, thus amplifying our collective impact on shared initiatives.
