MEN’S STYLE: Sick of soccer jerseys, 2006 Germany World Cup fans dress it up!

Blue Marlin Corp has seen a large spike in sales in both their Blue Marlin: (www.bluemarlincorp.com) and Five Star Vintage: (www.fivestarv.com) clothing lines with the upcoming FIFA 2006 World Cup’s arrival on June 5, 2006. Fans of international soccer have sought out the premium clothing brands, which have been producing vintage inspired internationally themed clothing for over a decade, at various stores including Bloomingdales, Nordstrom’s, Macy’s and their respective websites.

“This is a big year for our international-soccer inspired gear,” says Blue Marlin Corp CEO Erik Stuebe, “Guys are looking for something special outside of the traditional team jerseys. We have seen a new crop of fans emerge for both brands: a sophisticated “premium” oriented guy for Blue Marlin and a younger “edgier” college aged guy for Five Star Vintage, they love the sport of soccer, but don’t want the same gear everyone else is wearing.”

Blue Marlin and Five Star Vintage produced a special edition of track jackets and t-shirts for the summer which pay homage to the sport of soccer with custom designed graphics and styles.
