RENO, Nev. – Reno 1868 FC has announced a partnership with a local apparel company, Reno eNVy. Reno eNVy will work together with the club to create customized clothing, exclusive to 1868 FC. The new line of clothing will feature a limited run of six different styles available at Greater Nevada Field’s Team Shop for 1868 FC’s season kickoff Saturday, March 25. The new line will also be available at Reno eNVy’s location downtown at 135 N Sierra St.
“We’re excited to partner with Reno’s iconic custom clothing company,” said Andy Smith, general manager of Reno 1868 FC. “This partnership will allow us to brand ourselves further within the roots of Reno.”
In 2005, Reno eNVy started as a tent vendor at the Reno River Festival. They sold over 60 shirts the first weekend and realized that the community connected to this fun, rebellious brand. In 2008 they leased a 300 sq. foot space for a retail store in the West St Market and so began their brick and mortar presence in Reno. They soon outgrew that space and relocated to their current 1800 sq. foot location on Sierra St. Reno has a distinct personality, and Reno eNVy captures that personality in subtle and not so subtle ways.
Their iconic trailer logo celebrates Reno’s outdoor lifestyle while poking fun and not taking themselves too seriously. The location is also home to the Reno Visitors Center and owner, Scott Dunseath, sits on the board as president of the Riverwalk Merchants Association and oversees the continued revitalization of the Riverwalk District. He is a member of the Regional Alliance for Downtown and board member of the Biggest Little City Movement. Dunseath was also the recent recipient of the 2015 small business of the year award by the Nevada Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology and the Reno Gazette-Journal.
