“Boon Technical Clothing is a tremendous presenting sponsor for the upcoming three episodes of UGT,” said UGT host Elliot Trotter, “Hailing from the Philippines, Boon offers an international perspective that fits well with the vision of our series. As an emerging premier sports apparel organization and the AUDL‘s official 2015 outfitter, they’re already making their mark on ultimate and working with great organizations like E.R.I.C. to make a positive impact. I’m excited to share this adventure with Boon.”
