CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- Gogie Girl, the number one choice in women’s athletic headwear, will be going to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing in style. Gogie Girl recently signed Jennie Finch of the U.S. Women’s Softball Team and Nicole Branagh of the U.S. Women’s Beach Volleyball Team and AVP, each to multi-year endorsement deals, making these two distinguished world-class athletes spokespeople for the brand.
Finch is the ace right-handed pitcher of the Olympic gold medal winning team from the 2004 Athens Games, is a two-time gold medal winner of the Pan American Games (2003, 2007), holds two World Cup titles (’06, ’07), and two world championship titles (’02, ’06).
Branagh is making her Olympic debut in Beijing as one of two USA Beach Volleyball teams. Her team recently captured a silver medal at the SWATCH FIVB World Tour Grand Slam event in Moscow and a bronze medal at the Henkel Grand Chelem in Paris, also a Grand Slam event on the SWATCH FIVB World Tour.
“It is quite an honor for Gogie Girl to be a part of the American spirit represented at the Olympics in Beijing by these two amazing athletes,” said Vicky Waldorf.
Gogie Girl designed special hats and visors for the families of Finch and Branagh to help them capture the Summer Games spirit and honor the Olympians in their family. In the red, white and blue colors, Gogie created “Team Finch” hats for the two-time softball Olympian, and “I ♥ BY” hats for Branagh and her beach volleyball partner Elaine Youngs, a slogan that can be found in the stands at each tournament they play in.
