Dick's Sporting Goods launches inclusive athletic apparel line
Dick’s Sporting Goods has released a new line of apparel.
The athletic retailer announced the launch of its new line, DSG, on last week and held an event in California Monday to mark the occasion.
The Pasadena, California, event was complete with a special guest appearance -- “Full House” star Candace Cameron-Bure led a workout for women in attendance.
The new DSG line, according to an Aug. 1 press release, “is designed to make sport accessible for every athlete and every family.”
"We saw an opportunity to better serve more athletes by designing quality products at a value that fits everyone," Nina Barjesteh, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Dick’s Sporting Goods, said in the release.
"DSG is a brand with a purpose that is born from sport and has something to offer every athlete, no matter their size, skill, age or budget. We look forward to supporting more athletes on every step of their athletic journey," Barjesteh added.
