Climate Pledge Arena Uniforms

Luly Yang’s revolutionized what it means to wear a uniform in her recent partnership with Climate Pledge Arena (CPA) as she’s created a sustainably-minded and elegant uniform collection inspired by the historic architecture of the stadium and Seattle cityscape.

During the design process, Yang referenced the iconic 1962 Key Arena (now CPA) and Seattle’s famous Space Needle. The women’s shirt collar features a cutout that’s a subtle nod to the silhouette of the Needle, while peplums and Y-shaped angles reflect the historic buttresses of the arena.

Every aspect of the collection was thoughtfully considered and is intended for layering up or down to accommodate varying events, like hockey games and concerts, as well as Seattle’s seasonal changes. Composed of tailored pants, vests, button-up shirts, blazers, and dresses, all made with 80% recycled materials — the uniform program aligns with the mission of the Climate Pledge Arena, which aims to be the first carbon zero arena in the world.

Since the very beginning, sustainability has also been an integral part of LYDG’s DNA and a part of maintaining the brand ethos: elevate the human experience and respect humanity through social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

While hosting personal fittings for the team, Yang said, “We are proud to introduce a collection that reflects the innovation and values of Climate Pledge Arena. These pieces will set the standard for what custom, branded uniforms can be: A stylish, ultra-comfortable, and highly functional uniform with a cutting-edge design.”

The new uniforms have received the stamp of approval from several of the staff who will be wearing them. “I was a little concerned because when it comes to uniforms, it’s about how we feel. If we feel good, that comes through. I want to feel good when I work and I’m really impressed with these uniforms,” a bartender in the Space Needle Lounge said at her fitting.

“It’s a wonderful uniform! It actually bends! You can do this,” said another bartender as he squatted to the ground. “And the pants don’t rip!”
