Project Clothing and Triathlon Australia end partnership

After almost three years of working together, Project Clothing and Triathlon Australia announced the end of their apparel partnership due to the nature of COVID and restrictions on travel.

Melbourne-based manufacturer, Project Clothing is a global sporting apparel company that has spent the last decade developing world class products for some of Australia’s best athletes in triathlon, cycling, running and AFL umpires.

Triathlon Australia Chief Executive, Miles Stewart, advised in late December 2021 “we’ve enjoyed working closely with Project Clothing over the partnership as the official uniform, compression and apparel partner of Triathlon Australia.

“Project Clothing have been a great supporter, however it’s been a challenging environment to bring the partnership to its full potential throughout COVID-19.

“We were looking forward to outfitting our Australian Age Group Teams in 2020 and 2021 however due to the global pandemic and the Australian Government international border closures these teams unfortunately were unable to travel to the World Triathlon Age Group World Championships.

“We thank Project Clothing for working through the past seasons with us as a supporter of triathlon.”

Project Clothing Managing Director, Graeme Clarke notes “Project has also enjoyed the past three years as the official apparel partner to TA and working closely with High Performance to develop the new Quantum tri suit. It is unfortunate due to Covid that the agreement wasn’t able to be maximised but we look forward to having the opportunity to work with TA again should the opportunity arise.”

Project Clothing have provided outfitting, including the latest in its performance racing wear for Australia’s elite racing team, paratriathletes, under 23s, juniors and all age group representatives at World Triathlon Series, Paratriathlon Series and ITU World Championship grand finals since 2019.
