Earthquakes to Endorse Kewl Soccer Apparel Line

Kewl International Inc said that it was pleased to announce the completion of an endorsement deal for KEWL soccer apparel with Dwayne De Rosario, star forward with the San Jose Earthquakes of the Major League of Soccer (MLS) in the United States. Mr. De Rosario is an exceptional talent who has competed at all levels of the soccer game, perhaps best loved by fans for scoring the winning Earthquake goal in overtime in their 2001 Final against The LA Galaxy.

"It's a great day to be aligned with the KEWL clothing line," stated Mr. De Rosario. "The clothing is fresh, new and creative and the KEWL brand is one that is sure to appeal to fans all over the world," he said.

Dominic Fanelli, Chairman and CEO of KEWL International stated: "It has been a long process, but to finally have the opportunity to have a talent like Mr. De Rosario on board with the Kewl brand is a major step for the company. Dwayne is our first international soccer star and we expect to add several others in the weeks ahead to represent the Kewl name."

Further describing some of Mr. De Rosario's career highlights, Mr. Fanelli said, "Dwayne has been a member of several winning teams, including the 2001 and 2003 MLS championship teams. He also was the 2001 MLS Cup MVP and the 1996 CONCACAF Golden Boot Award winner. In addition he has competed with the German Second Division FSV Zwickav, was a member of the 1999 Gold Cup Champions, a member of the 2000 All A-League Team and, of course, scored the Golden Goal in the 2001 MSL Final."

Mr. Fanelli concluded, "With winning talent like Dwayne De Rosario we are very optimistic about our success in the rapidly growing soccer apparel niche as well as our planned launch into Europe."

Having Kevin on board gives us a big edge coming out of the gate in our European distribution efforts - he's a great fit with the brand and our organization."

Commenting on his new role, Mr. McKenna stated, "It is a privilege to be able to endorse the Kewl brand. Kewl is a fresh, new idea combining creativity and quality and I'm pleased they have asked me to be part of its success."
