FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Memphis, TN| June 29, 2016 – Founded in 2012 as a result of the drowning of a family friend, Life Jacket Solutions announced today its exclusive distribution of their Coast Guard approved University of Florida life jackets.  Now Florida fans and water enthusiasts can show their Gator pride on the water while being SAFE!

CEO David Lee is super excited about the University of Florida life jackets, “We had to make sure that the University of Florida was one of the first schools we secured ‘gator jackets’ for – We know how passionate Florida fans are, and we know how much Florida fans like to spend time on the water! Gator fans love to fish, ski, wakeboard, surf and just relax on the lakes in Florida.  We are excited that Florida fans can show their pride while being safe on the water – and safety is the reason we are in business.  While the University of Florida is one of the first schools we carried, other college fans shouldn’t be disappointed – we have secured the appropriate licensing agreements and are in the process of adding more colleges to our product listing every week.  As a business, our focus is safety first, but we want folks to have FUN while being safe.  We are excited about our exclusive status with the University of Florida, but we are even more excited about the products we have coming out next year.”

LJS secured a licensing agreement with the University of Florida through the Collegiate Licensing Company, but hasn’t stopped there.  LJS also secured licensing agreements with Fermata and Learfield giving LJS the exclusive capabilities to distribute their Coast Guard approved and collegiate branded life jackets to customers who are fans of just about every college in the U.S…
