(Longview, WA) – Rightline, the innovative Rainier, OR manufacturer and Lower Columbia College athletics has announced a multi-year partnership that furthers the already great relationship between the two.
For the next three school years, the six Red Devil teams will wear home uniforms that feature the Rightline logo.
"Rightline has been one of our great sponsors for the past several years and with this new agreement, they will step up their support", said Lower Columbia athletic director Kirc Roland. "We can't thank the Rightline family enough for their support. Our student/athletes will proudly wear the distinctive Rightline logo, much like you see at the professional level."
Rightline Equipment was founded by Jerry Hamlik back in December of 1971 and it has become an international leader of the manufacture of high quality fork lift attachments. The Hamlik family has taken Jerry's vision and made it into a world class company based out of Rainier, OR. Rightline recently noted its 50
th anniversary by celebrating with their employees.
"Rightline has a reputation for incredible support of its employees and the local community", said Roland. "This is just another way they show that support by sponsoring our college and its student/athletes."
Rightline HR Manager Sean Atkins sees value in athletics as he was a college basketball player himself. "Rightline proudly supports Lower Columbia College in its pursuit to supply high level athletics that our community can enjoy", said Atkins.
The NWAC Conference made an exemption to the uniform rules back in 2019 that allowed for schools to put a small logo on game uniforms. The LCC-Rightline partnership is a first for Lower Columbia College.
"We're going to wear the Rightline logo with pride", said Roland.
