Tommy Hilfiger has officially launched the Tommy Hilfiger x U.S. SailGP Team Spring 2026 fanwear collection.

The collection arrives as SailGP Season 6 moves into high gear, following recent grand prix events in Perth, Auckland, and Sydney, and ahead of the highly anticipated Enel Rio Sail Grand Prix in April.

The fanwear range is designed to bridge the gap between elite performance and everyday lifestyle, leveraging the “fashiontainment” trend that has revitalised sports marketing. The collection reinterprets Tommy Hilfiger’s signature red, white, and blue palette with marina striping and archive-inspired sailing jackets, graphic T-shirts, and co-branded accessories.

Commenting on the launch, Tommy Hilfiger, said: “For decades, sailing has been part of our brand story.”

“The U.S. SailGP Team are changing the way people see sailing and reaching new audiences around the world. This collection is celebrating that energy,” they said.

Emphasising the importance of supporter culture in the sport’s growth, co-owner and CEO of the U.S. SailGP Team, Mike Buckley, added: “SailGP is fast, unpredictable and full of momentum shifts—and our fans are right there with us.”

“This collection is for everyone backing the team through every turn of the season,” Buckley said.

A Broader Strategy in Sports & Culture

The SailGP launch is the latest pillar in Tommy Hilfiger’s aggressive 2026 sports business strategy, which focuses on high-visibility global platforms:

  • Formula 1: The brand recently debuted a massive fanwear collection for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, featuring replica team kits and limited-edition race-day drops for Miami and Las Vegas.
  • Football: In a first-of-its-kind partnership, Tommy Hilfiger joined Liverpool FC as a Global Partner, introducing personalised “Tunnel Walk” looks for stars like Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai.

The Spring 2026 collection is available now via Tommy.com and select global boutiques.
