ROCHESTER, NY  – As the Quick 32 Sportsman Series and the Pro Modified Racing Association grow, so too does Big City Sportswear, www.bigcitysportswear.com, the preferred uniform and official merchandise supplier of both drag race series.

“We wanted to get involved with a company that was willing to work and develop with the series, and Big City Sportswear not only met but exceeded our expectations,” noted Bruce Mehlenbacher, Director of Operations for the PMRA and the Quick 32 Sportsman Series. “We got together with Big City Sportswear from the inception of this project, and are very pleased with the product provided to our series.”

Not only does Big City Sportswear provide uniforms for the officials of the racing series, a line of official series merchandise is available to the race fans at all PMRA and Quick 32 Sportsman Series race events.

Although relatively new, Big City Sportswear has established itself as one of the top names in sports-related apparel. It will be expanding its present 10,000-square foot facility in Rochester to a stand-alone, 15,000-square foot building early in 2011.

“We’re moving in the spring,” explained Big City Sportswear’s Joe Gizzi. “We’re going to a larger facility to better serve our customers.”

To date, most of Big City Sportswear’s work has been with sporting teams at the high school and college level, along with other sporting organizations, but its involvement with the PMRA and Quick 32 Sportsman Series has been its first foray into the motorsports world.

“We are proud of our work with the two series,” added Gizzi, a former drag racer who campaigned a Chevelle in the Rochester area. “The logos and embroidery worked out very well, and everyone is pleased with the results.”

Big City Sportswear provides a wide range of apparel for the PMRA and the Quick 32 Sportsman Series, including hats, shirts, hoodies, and coats, all manufactured in its state-of-the-art facility, which includes fully automated screen printing, a heat transfer machine, and a 54-inch Roland digital cutter/printer.

Big City Sportswear is a retailer of quality clothing lines such as Carhartt, Columbia, and Dickies.

“We are a stand-alone facility,” Gizzi noted. “We are serious about our work. We take it to the next level.

“We’re here to make sure the customer gets exactly what they want,” he continued. “People come to us with no idea what they want, and we work with them at all stages to develop a package for them that is a perfect fit.”
