Beyond the Partnership: How Challenger Teamwear Delivered for IFA New England at the 2025 Memorial Day Invitational

Stronger Together: Challenger Teamwear Shows Up Big for IFA New England at the Memorial Day Invitational

When Challenger Teamwear officially partnered with IFA New England in early 2025, it wasn’t just about outfitting players with high-quality uniforms—it was about becoming a hands-on partner in every sense of the word.

That promise came to life at the 2025 Memorial Day Invitational, where Challenger went above and beyond to support IFA’s full roster of teams throughout the weekend.


Sizing Day That Delivered

With hundreds of players on-site, Challenger Teamwear set up a fully staffed booth at the tournament, creating a seamless all-in-one sizing and shopping experience for players, coaches, and families. Here’s how it made a difference:

1. Accurate Fit, Fewer Reorders

By bringing full-size runs of each uniform piece, players were able to try on the new kits in person, eliminating the guesswork and minimizing the need for exchanges later. Coaches appreciated the efficiency, and parents appreciated the peace of mind.

2. Confidence in Quality

Photos and mockups are helpful, but nothing truly replaces feeling the fabric in your hands. The event gave families a chance to see, touch, and try on the Craft x Challenger gear up close. The result? Tournament-wide enthusiasm for the new look and trust in the long-term durability.

3. Club Identity in Action

To strengthen IFA’s identity across teams and age groups, Challenger also offered a range of spiritwear and fan merchandise at the booth. From hoodies to hats, families could gear up and show their support, creating a united look across the sidelines.

4. Personalized Support

Challenger Teamwear’s staff didn’t just show up—they came prepared. With product experts and account reps on-site, IFA teams received real-time guidance on sizing and ordering. Staff were also available to answer questions and ensure families and coaches felt confident throughout the process.


More Than a Vendor—A True Team Partner

Challenger Teamwear believes that partnerships go beyond product delivery. At events like the Memorial Day Invitational, that belief turns into action, supporting clubs with a level of dedication that’s rarely matched in the uniform space.

“Our work with IFA New England at the Memorial Day Invitational is a perfect example of how we show up, solve problems in real time, and support clubs in ways that truly matter. That’s what partnership looks like to us.”

Luke Krawczyk, President, Challenger Teamwear

With high-performance kits from Craft Sportswear, a seamless ordering system, and on-the-ground event support, Challenger Teamwear is redefining what it means to be a team gear provider.

I received the jerseys right on time and the kids got to wear them on game day and they looked great.  Thank you for getting the order put together and making things go flawlessly for me.  It makes a lot of headaches go away.

I received the jerseys a couple of Fridays ago and I have appreciated working with you! The jerseys came out absolutely beautifully, exactly how I had expected, if not better. Challenger was extremely helpful, taking my last minute changes and requests, was friendly and informative and I would recommend  to anyone! We have some very happy kids!

At first I was a little skeptical about using a company that was not local to Flemingsburg, KY. We have used local companies for at least the last 10 years. We would like to thank your company and the hard work of the Challenger team in helping the Fleming County Youth Soccer program. Keep up the good work.
