Alsco Uniforms, a global leader in uniform and linen services, has announced a significant expansion of its presence in the National Basketball Association (NBA) through a new partnership with the Houston Rockets. Starting with the 2024-2025 season, Alsco will become the official sponsor of the Rockets’ Mop Crew, adding to its portfolio of similar sponsorships across the league.
This latest agreement brings Alsco’s total NBA Mop Crew sponsorships to seven, including existing partnerships with the Utah Jazz, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Orlando Magic. The expansion underscores Alsco’s growing influence in professional sports and its commitment to promoting cleanliness and safety in high-profile venues.
Under the terms of the sponsorship, Alsco Uniforms will provide branded uniforms for all members of the Rockets’ Mop Crew, showcasing the company’s workwear options in a real-world, high-visibility setting. Additionally, Alsco will supply branded mops to be used during all Rockets home games at the Toyota Center, ensuring the court remains clean and safe for players.
Ben Fox, vice president of sales and marketing at Alsco Uniforms, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, ‘We’re very excited to highlight Alsco Uniforms and our laundry services to the amazing fans of the Houston Rockets. Our branded Mop Crew uniforms and mops will provide a real-time example to businesses of why It Pays to Keep Clean® with Alsco Uniforms.’
The sponsorship not only enhances Alsco’s visibility during games but also extends throughout the Toyota Center. Dawn Keen, vice president of corporate partnerships for the Houston Rockets, commented on the collaboration, saying, ‘We’re proud to team up with Alsco Uniforms for the coming seasons at Toyota Center. Their products will be prominently featured not only on the court during games but throughout the arena, reflecting their commitment to quality and service.’
This partnership holds significance beyond the basketball court. It demonstrates the increasing integration of service-oriented businesses into the sports entertainment landscape. For Alsco, a company with a rich history dating back to 1889, this represents a modern approach to showcasing its services and reinforcing its brand in a dynamic, high-energy environment.
The sponsorship also highlights the importance of behind-the-scenes operations in professional sports. While players and coaches often take center stage, the role of support staff, including those responsible for maintaining a safe playing environment, is crucial. Alsco’s involvement brings attention to these essential services and the companies that provide them.
For businesses in the Houston area, this partnership serves as a prominent reminder of Alsco’s presence and capabilities. The company already provides laundry services, uniforms, linens, floor mats, first aid, and restroom supplies to numerous local businesses, delivering these items weekly. The visibility gained through the Rockets sponsorship could potentially lead to increased business opportunities in the region.
As Alsco Uniforms continues to expand its presence in the NBA, it sets an example for other service-oriented companies looking to gain exposure through sports partnerships. This strategy not only increases brand visibility but also demonstrates the practical application of their products and services in high-stakes environments.
The collaboration between Alsco Uniforms and the Houston Rockets represents a fusion of sports entertainment and essential business services, highlighting the multifaceted nature of modern sports sponsorships. As the 2024-2025 NBA season approaches, fans can expect to see Alsco’s brand prominently displayed, serving as a testament to the company’s commitment to cleanliness, safety, and quality service in one of the most visible arenas in professional sports.
