(DENVER) - April 11, 2012 - Clinch Gear™, the leading performance-based MMA, training and amateur wrestling brand, announced today a new multi-year licensing agreement with U.S.-based OT Sports.

Founded in 1992 by American brothers Scott and Chris Gollnick
while Scott was studying abroad at Charles University in
Prague, OT Sports quickly secured licenses and league
agreements with Czech and Slovak professional hockey and
soccer teams. Two years later, OT Sports was incorporated in
the United States and moved all production to North Carolina
where it supplied US teams and associations. Since that time,
OT Sports has grown into a major uniform and jersey provider
for youth, collegiate and minor league sports in North
America, including all 160 Minor League Baseball teams. The
company is also the exclusive jersey provider to the North
American Hockey League and the contracted manufacturer for
all game uniforms and replicas for Major League Lacrosse.
"We are excited to partner with Clinch Gear on its
wrestling business," said Scott Gollnick, VP of Sales and
Marketing for OT Sports. "Combining our high-end uniforms and
state-of-the-art design and sublimation print technology with
Clinch Gear's brand recognition and reputation lends to the
perfect business relationship. We plan to set a new precedent
of uniform quality and customer service in the wrestling
market."
