Collaboration: American Outlaws x Added Time

If there’s a idea that defines Added Time Outfitters more than any other, it’s that we firmly believe that shared experiences are the glue that bonds us all together.

Memories of trophies lifted, awe-inspiring performances, otherworldly feats of skill and athleticism, supporting a collective cause — those moments moments of greatness are enhanced by the collective they create amongst us.

But long before we were making wristbands and apparel to celebrate those shared experiences, The American Outlaws have been working to make those moments happen for American fans across the country and globe.

Launched in 2007, The American Outlaws are this summer marking 15 years of supporting the U.S. men’s, women’s, and youth national teams no matter where they play — including at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. And with local chapters in over 200 locations and over 25,000 members, A.O. is likely planning something special for American supporters in a city near you this November and December.

And now, we’re joining forces with A.O. to help their members show their support for the Red, White, and Blue by introducing an exclusive collaboration wristband ahead of the 2022 World Cup!

The collab’s design takes its inspiration from the new kits Stimulus Athletic home and away kits offered to A.O. members ahead of the tournament in Qatar. The navy side offers an update to the famous denim aways from the 1994 World Cup, while the reverse features a red pinstripe design that is reminiscent of the the third kits worn by the team at the 2007 Copa América.

“There have been so many wonderful USMNT and USWNT moments in our organization’s history,” said Donald Wine, the merchandise chairman for The American Outlaws and long-time member of the national board. “As we celebrate 15 years of passionate support of our national teams, we’re so excited to partner with Added Time Outfitters to literally wear some of those key moments on our wrists. As our teams take on the world, we can support them wherever we go with our AO x Added Time wristband.”

Fans and members of The American Outlaws can get the Added Time collaboration wristband from the group’s online store beginning today.

And as an additional perk, current A.O. members should keep their eye out for the next email from the Outlaws for an exclusive discount code good for your next purchase here at Added Time dot com!

Added Time x Queen City Football Club

Supporting local soccer doesn’t just mean supporting your local professional club.

Each major metropolitan areas in the United States is home to thousands of soccer teams at every level of the game. Recreational teams, youth teams, amateur teams, indoor teams, over-30 teams. And each of them serves as hub for a slice of the larger soccer community.

And all of them have support of some type. For some, there are legitimate fans who show up in droves. For others, there’s an army of parents, family members, and coaches. And for many, they have the support of the players who show up week-in and week-out.

And for the vast majority of those local soccer teams, the moments that define them fall outside the spotlight shown by the masses.

Here at Added Time, we’ve made it our mission to help supporters pay homage to the memories that matter most to them. And that’s no different for amateur sides.

And that’s why we’ve partnered with a local 5v5 amateur side Queen City Football Club to become their primary shirt sponsor for the upcoming season.

It doesn’t hurt that QCFC have consistently pumped out some of the finest looking kits in American soccer.

For their latest effort with the Added Time Outfitters logo on the front, they’ve partnered with bespoke uniform providers Olive & York to come up with the “Neon Deco Kit”. The eye-catching shirt, inspired by the many art-deco buildings and signs that once dominated Cincinnati’s downtown architecture, can be seen in person on weeknights at the Town & Country Sports Complex.

Want to grab one for your own kit collection? You can nab QCFC’s Neon Deco Kit — which also features a sleeve sponsorship from long-time Added Time soccer haunt Rhinehaus in Over-the-Rhine — for just $45 on the Olive & York website.

A new way to wear Added Time

If there’s one thing Added Time Outfitters is known for, it’s wristbands.

With nearly 80 designs and more on the way, that makes sense — especially considering we’ve only offered two other products besides them so far. But we’ve always had designs to offer more than just a bunch of wristbands, a few stickers, and a single hat.

Choosing what direction to take and what new products to offer next weren’t easy choices either. There are lots of brilliant and creative companies already operating in the boutique lifestyle soccer space, many of whom already provide goods we would like to take a crack at. How could we make a mark in such a crowded arena?

By taking chances. It’s worked for us this far, anyway.

And that’s how we ended up coming up with our first official apparel offering — the Fourth Official Tee.

We’ve always focused on trying to capture moments and allow supporters of the beautiful game the opportunity to wear them. And the Fourth Official Tee aims to capture one of those moments, feelings that are felt nearly universally across the footballing spectrum. When the fourth official lifts the board above his head and delivers some devastating information. Too much or too little added time, an injury confirmation, the super sub you wanted to avoid.

S#!T.

You might have whispered it. Perhaps it was shouted. Or maybe it just was just a momentary thought that crossed your mind. But you’ve been there. We’ve all been there.

Yes, our first Added Time Outfitters shirt isn’t for everyone — our moms and wives have told us as much. But as the cliche goes, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. And this one felt like a moment we couldn’t resist.

And we’ve got more gear in the works, so keep that head on a swivel to see what we serve up next.

WoSo wristbands

It sure took as long enough, didn’t it?

Despite two of our most popular wristbands being designs inspired by the U.S. women’s national team, we had yet to debut a single wristband inspired by a women’s club side.

But with the pre-eminent women’s league holding their championship match this weekend — with Added Time’s D.J. in attendance, no less — we figured it was high time to change that.

So beginning today, we’re dropping four brand new WoSo wristbands for the very first time!

Fleur de Louisville
Royal Rain
Grasp the Thorns
Stars by the Lake

You can browse all four designs inspired by Chicago, Louisville, Portland, and Seattle — plus our two USWNT-inspired design — by clicking the button below.

See you in Louisville this Saturday!

Support local: your chance to win a kit

Our sport, at its heart, is a grassroots effort. The local soccer scene — no matter where you might find yourself — is the heartbeat of the sport. It develops local youth players, crowds in which to gather and watch big matches, and teams to play with, a community to join and socialize within.

That’s why we’re big believers of supporting local soccer. And whether that’s collaborating with local supporters groups or supporting amateur sides — such as local men’s side 1819 Cincinnati — Added Time Outfitters is always looking for ways to support the community in which we find ourselves.

So when 1819 Cincinnati let us know they had a few spare kits with our logo on the front from last season’s campaign, we knew of a perfect way to put them to good use. We want to pass the love on to another soccer community: yours.

Sure, we could sell them — we’ve had offers! But instead we’re giving them away to our followers. The community we’ve built around Added Time Outfitters over the last three years has been incredible, and we could think of no better way to show our thanks to all of you thank to give you a chance to get your hands on these limited edition beauties from Nike.

So, how do you enter? Head to either our Twitter and/or Instagram posts and follow the instructions on each.

We’ll select winners on Wednesday, September 29th, and will contact you via direct message on either platform after the conclusion of a random draw. Winners will have 48 hours to respond before surrendering your prize and it being awarded to another contestant.

To everyone who participates, even if you don’t win, we appreciate all of the love you’ve shown us and thank you for being a part of our community. Best of luck!

Collab: Added Time x Die Innenstadt

We’re always looking to connect with fans of the beautiful game to provide them new ways show their support.

So when the opportunity to collaborate with Cincinnati-based supporters group Die Innenstadt arrose, it seemed like a match made in soccer-supporting heaven.

As one of the largest independent supporter group for our local MLS side, FC Cincinnati, Die Innenstadt have played a large part in shaping the blooming culture surrounding the club. Their name, meaning the “Inner City”, pays homage to their roots in Cincinnati’s urban core and the city’s prominent German heritage. And they’ve long maintained a focus on championing the rebirth and progress of the Queen City — a cause near and dear to our hearts here at Added Time.

So what did we whip up together?

When it came time to the come up with the design for our wristband collaboration with Die Innenstadt, we turned to their groups’ eclectic collection of membership scarves. On one side we took inspiration from their 2018 scarf, placing the group’s initialed lettermark over top a blue-tinged background of Bavarian diamonds. The reverse features the orange latticework covered in white vines from their 2020 scarf, a nod to the the shaded outdoor biergarten of DI’s longtime away matchday bar, Mecklenburg Gardens.

Ever socially conscious, Die Innenstadt has also pledged to donate $2 from the sale of each wristband to local charity, It Starts with the Shoes. The soccer-focused non-profit looks “to provide shoes, equipment, gear, nutrition, training, tansportation, and facilities for those who otherwise can’t afford to play soccer”.

For supporters of the Orange and Blue who want to sport the new reversible design at TQL Stadium, you can pick one up at Die Innenstadt’s pre-match festivities starting this Saturday, July 31, 2021, at the Sam Adams Tap Room in the West End. They’ll also be available at future away day watch parties at Mecklenburg Gardens and in their online store.

Interested in partnering with Added Time Outfitters to produce a unique, one-of-a-kind wristband for your supporters group, youth club, or soccer organization? Let’s talk! You can more about the process — and even fill out the interest form — on our Collaborations page.

Helps us add some international flair

Thanks to the delays induced by the dreaded plague, the summer of 2020 will be one to remember for supporters of the beautiful game. The European Championships, Copa America, and the Olympic tournaments have all been bumped back to this summer, meaning we’re in for a smorgasbord of soccer this summer.

To celebrate, we’ve decided to massively expand our wristband offerings for national teams!

Our three current international designs — for the U.S. women’s and men’s national teams and Mexico — have proven some of our most popular to date. And this summer, we’ll be adding a further seventeen wristbands. Here’s who we’ll be making them for:

Europe
England
France
Germany
Italy
Netherlands
Portugal
Spain
South America
Argentina
Brazil
Chile
Colombia
Uruguay
Elsewhere
Ghana
Japan
Nigeria
South Korea
USWNT (2nd Design)

Now normally, we like to keep our new designs under wraps until we release them into the wild. But we’re taking a different tact with these international offerings by letting YOU help us choose the iconic matches we feature on each wristband. All you have to do is scroll down below and cast a vote for the matches(s) you think should get incorporated into the designs. We made some suggestions for each country’s designs below, but feel free to write in your own matches as well.

We’ll leave the polls open through Friday, April 9 to allow ample time for votes to be cast and production so that we can have these designs on your wrists this summer.

Now that you’re done voting, check out our full selection of international team wristband designs.

Collaborate with Added Time Outfitters

Back before the turn of the New Year, Added Time Outfitters experienced yet another first: our first custom collaboration on a wristband.

Our team worked closely with Mitch, a former member of the Coker University men’s soccer team, to create a design that would celebrate the program’s 40th anniversary. Together, we whipped up a snakeskin-inspired wristband that paid homage to the Cobras’ past and present. Over 120 wristbands were ordered, including one for every current member of the Coker varsity team and staff.

Of course, we’re hoping this is the first of many collabs across the soccer community. Whether you’re a youth club, non-profit organization, college team, supporters group, or even a like-minded brand… we want to work with you! Added Time Outfitter wristbands are the perfect way to commemorate a massive achievement, build club culture, or even be used to run a fundraiser.

And to make the process easier, we now have a dedicated page on the site to submit your interest in collaborating.

A big thank you to Mitch and all of the Coker soccer family for kicking things off, and we look forward to working with you on a design soon.

For your head: Added Time Outfitters + Talisman & Co.

When we first launched Added Time Outfitters, our idea was relatively simple: let’s come up with a unique way for supporters of the beautiful game to represent their favorite teams, moments, and sport.

And though that idea initially manifested itself in the form of our line of original wristbands, we have always dreamed of more. Apparel lines, artwork, and further accessories have always dotted the periphery of our discussions about and plans for the future. We took a small step in that direction with the sticker packs we launched in July.

But today, we take those dreams a step further.

We’re doing that by launching our first move into the headwear space and an exciting collaboration with Talisman & Co. Launched by former professional player Dustin Branan and based out of St. Paul, Minn., Talisman “offers high-end, quality made caps to help you support and celebrate your football club”. And with a few Talisman caps already in our personal collections, teaming up with them for our first hat seemed a no-brainer.

The result of that collaboration affirmed that choice: the Added Time Outfitters + Talisman 5-Panel Cap.

The cap sports an unstructured, premium brushed cotton twill five-panel design, which is often called a “camp hat”. It features embroidered Added Time Outfitters logos on the front and back, including a new “fourth official” secondary mark. On the inside, a co-branded tag featuring the Talisman and ATO wordmarks.

You can purchase your own Added Time + Talisman 5-Panel Cap now as it is available exclusively at addedtime.com.
