Chloe Ricketts’ Endorsements and Partnerships

Talented players in women’s soccer are always the target of brands that are looking to collaborate with rising names in the game. One of these talented players is the Washington Spirit’s young star Chloe Ricketts. Ricketts, who is 18, has been making a name for herself in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). While she might not have a lot of endorsements, she does have important ones that are just the beginning for her. Ricketts’ endorsements include those that she has with Adidas and CVS. Being an Adidas athlete is enough to let people know that you have enough talent.

Ricketts’ Adidas Deal

There is no doubt that Chloe Ricketts’ most important deal is the one that she has with Adidas. It happened at an early age which showed how global brands are on the lookout for young stars. The Adidas deal took place in 2023 when Ricketts was just 15. According to Click On Detroit, this multi-year endorsement made her the “youngest ever professional female soccer player in the U.S. to sign with Adidas.”

This deal not only made Ricketts’ name more prominent, but it also made her come across as a young ambassador who deserves the attention from global brands. It came at a time when she was also the youngest-ever player to sign an NWSL contract. This is according to the Washington Spirit’s official website.

Ricketts and CVS

Another endorsement that Chloe Ricketts has is the one with CVS. While there isn’t any official news website reporting this deal, Ricketts’ official website states that she is an “Adidas and CVS athlete.” This is enough to point out that this is a real endorsement even if it isn’t marketed enough. It doesn’t come as a surprise, either, since the Washington Spirit themselves have a partnership going on with CVS. Last March, the NWSL side announced a “historic three-year partnership renewal” between them and CVS.

There is some doubt, however, surrounding Ricketts’ involvement with CVS since her Instagram bio only mentions Adidas. This makes the Adidas deal more certain than the one with CVS. Whether CVS endorses Ricketts or not, the Adidas endorsement is impressive enough. Fans can expect that more endorsements will come across Ricketts’ way in the future.

Ricketts and Blue Lion Fitness

Another name that Chloe Ricketts is associated with is that of Blue Lion Fitness. The logo of this training facility in Michigan is featured on Ricketts’ official website. They also post a lot of videos showing Ricketts training at their facility. While there was no announcement that Ricketts is endorsed by Blue Lion Fitness, she might have some kind of local partnership with them, especially since she was raised in Michigan.

If there were a partnership between Ricketts and Blue Lion Fitness, it wouldn’t compare to the one with Adidas. Yet, these kinds of partnerships are still important for young players such as Ricketts. It shows how important it is that rising talents have support systems that help them transition into professional athletes. Having the right training can only make Ricketts a better player. Her training definitely played a part in her being one of the NWSL’s young players who deserve to be watched.

Why Early Endorsements Matter

Chloe Ricketts’ Adidas deal is quite significant for the player, especially since she managed to secure it at such a young age. These early endorsements show how global brands have their eyes set on young talents such as Ricketts. The deal with Adidas only brought more exposure for Ricketts, who went on to prove why she deserves such a deal at a young age. Her being the youngest American female soccer player to sign this kind of deal is also inspiring to young girls in women’s soccer.

Ricketts herself agrees that a deal such as that of Adidas can help other young athletes. “It feels like a dream to be joining the three stripes family. Being a woman in professional sports means that I can lift other young female athletes up, and I’m excited to have the support of adidas in doing that,” Ricketts said, according to Click On Detroit.

Chris McGuire, who is the Vice President of Sports Marketing at Adidas, also talked about the significance of the company’s deal with Ricketts. “Chloe is one of the country’s most inspiring young athletes, representing the next generation of American soccer. We’re eager to support Chloe as she embarks on her journey as a professional athlete, and support her in inspiring other young female athletes to play their way and reach new possibilities,” he said, according to WJLA.

This Is Just the Beginning for Ricketts

While it might seem like Chloe Ricketts doesn’t have a lot of endorsements, this doesn’t mean that they are any less significant. Being signed with Adidas is impressive on its own, but managing to do this at her age makes Ricketts’ endorsements more impressive. As she grows as a player and continues her development, fans can expect that she will sign more endorsements with big brands. When this happens, everyone will remember that it was Adidas who started it all. It is a reminder that players’ off-field brand is just as important as that on the field.
