Hurley Unveils Phantom 2014 World Cup National Team Boardshorts

Known for their surfing lifestyle apparel, wet suits and footwear, Hurley has launched a range of limited edition board shorts patterned after the 2014 FIFA World Cup kits of Brazil, France and the USA. All of the shorts are fully licensed thanks to Hurley’s parent company Nike being the technical sponsor of the three national soccer teams. The new gear are all Phantom board shorts – Hurley’s current statement product and top of the line surf and swim wear in their own right.

The boardshort colors are aligned with the Brazil, France and U.S. Federation jerseys, with a “home” and “away” variant for US and Brazil. The kits are supplemented with coordinating tees and hats, allowing for soccer and surf fans alike to unite under the umbrella of nationalism.

“Both sports require impeccable balance, quick bursts of energy and gifted footwork,” said Hurley VP of Innovation Bruce Moore. “With so many of our surfers playing soccer on the beach, and with both sports having such passionate fans behind them, we had a lot of fun showcasing our most technically advanced boardshorts in National Team colors.”
