Carhartt, makers of premium workwear since 1889, today announced it has joined forces with Mark Zona, co-host of the Bassmasters television show and one of the most recognizable faces in outdoors television.
With this partnership, Carhartt will sponsor Zona’s Awesome Fishing Show on the Outdoor Channel and MarkZona.com. Zona will wear and test Carhartt products during his adventures both on and off the water. Carhartt is launching its new Outdoor Apparel line this fall and Zona will help the product development teams by providing feedback for development of fishing apparel for the Spring 2017 collection.
“We are honored that Mark has selected Carhartt as his apparel partner," said Tim Humes, senior brand manager of outdoors at Carhartt. "His honest, hardworking approach to life both on the water and off is a great match for our brand, especially as we bring some of our new outdoor products to the forefront."
“Growing up in Michigan, I wore Carhartt coveralls whether I was chasing smallmouth bass in Traverse City or drilling holes in the ice near my hometown of Sturgis," Zona added. "It seemed like everybody that hunted and fished wore Carhartt. This opportunity to represent a Michigan-based brand, that is so incredibly respected worldwide, is one of the most humbling partnerships of my career.
“For Carhartt to step-up and be title sponsor of the Bassmaster College Series the past few years, shows they have a heartfelt desire to support the future of the great sport I love and that makes me extremely proud,” Zona continued. “Carhartt understands the immense goodness of supporting young anglers, whether it’s young Elite Series pros Matt and Jordan Lee or the thousands of college kids on campuses across America.”
