ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER OF FLAG SHORTS
RESPONDS TO DEMAND
InSport reintroduces its USA Flag Running Shorts
PORTLAND, Ore. - They're baaacck….
Serious runners and athletes may remember the popularity of flag shorts in the 1980s. Now, as a result of the demand from Americans across the nation to proudly display the flag, InSport International, a leading sports apparel company, is bringing back its original USA Flag Running shorts - for a good cause.
According to InSport officials, the company has received a surge in requests from athletes and retailers wanting to purchase American flag shorts. Flag shorts were originally a mainstay of the company's business back in the 1980s. Due to the demand, InSport will again produce USA Flag Running shorts and plans to donate $5 from the purchase of each pair sold via the company's Web site to help support the families of the victims in New York.
"Athletes, along with the rest of the nation, are looking for ways to show their patriotic spirit and support," said Eric Merk, president of InSport. "Many remember the flag shorts made by InSport. In response to the demand and to help with the national effort during this time, we've decided to reintroduce our USA Flag Running shorts."
InSport USA Flag Running shorts are available for the purchase price of $32 plus shipping via InSport's Web site at www.insport.com. USA Flag Running shorts, along with nearly 95 percent of all InSport products, are manufactured in the U.S.
InSport International was established in the early 1980s to outfit runners and other endorphin charged fitness enthusiasts. Since its beginning, the company has focused on fusing functionality, fit and fashion to create cutting edge sports apparel for serious athletes. From running, fitness, cycling and more, InSport is known for exceptional product and fabric innovation and performance.
