Forest City Cleveland Names Arrivo as Official Apparel and Distribution Provider
A Cleveland-built partnership rooted in shared standards, local investment and a belief that building a club should strengthen the business community around it.
CLEVELAND — March 25, 2026 — Forest City Cleveland has named ARRIVO Athletic Wear as the professional soccer club’s official apparel and distribution provider.
To mark the partnership, the club has launched a new online store featuring merchandise tied to Forest City Cleveland’s recently unveiled name and brand at forestcitycle.com/shop.
As Forest City Cleveland evaluated partners, the club had meaningful conversations with national brands, but looked beyond the typical logos. It was seeking strong product, operational reliability and a partner capable of growing alongside a new professional team.
In Arrivo, it found a Cleveland company known for delivering on all fronts.
“Cleveland has no shortage of great companies, and when you’re building something new here, who you partner with really matters,” said Michael Murphy, CEO and Co-Founder of Cleveland Soccer Group. “We were looking for a partner that could deliver at a world-class level and understood what this club aims to be. Arrivo nailed it: deep experience, strong standards and a real feel for this market.”
ARRIVO is known for designing, engineering and producing custom uniforms, activewear and lifestyle apparel for teams across a growing footprint. The company provides uniforms and apparel for the Cleveland Crunch, Akron City FC, Cleveland SC and Lorain County Leviathan FC, among others.
“We’re proud to partner with ARRIVO at such an important moment in the making of this club,” said Gina Prodan Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer of Cleveland Soccer Group. “Tony and his team have built a company that stands out for all the right reasons. From youth to pro: more teams and business leaders should know their name.”
The company has built its reputation on product quality, advanced garment technology, shorter lead times and the ability to create custom styles. Its mission is straightforward: provide great products and great service.
“This partnership means a great deal to us because it represents the true power of Cleveland: local organizations standing together, championing one another’s success, and demonstrating the excellence our city is known for.” said Tony Dore, President and Founder of ARRIVO Athletic Wear. “Our team takes pride in delivering high‑quality gear that reflects Cleveland’s toughness and heart. We’re focused on exceeding the club’s expectations and giving the fan‑base apparel they’ll be excited to wear and support.”
The partnership will support Forest City Cleveland’s apparel and distribution needs as the club continues building toward its 2027 debut in MLS NEXT Pro.
