The 85ers

The 85ers | Turning Legacy into Livelihood In 1985, seventeen women boarded a flight to Italy to compete in the first-ever U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team match. No sponsors. No funding. No fanfare. Just guts, grit, and game. They didn’t just play—they built the foundation of the most dominant team in women’s sports history. Forty years later, The 85ers are reclaiming their place in the narrative—not just as pioneers, but as entrepreneurs, creators, and cultural catalysts. Through content, commerce, and community, we are transforming their legacy into a platform for impact—one that honors the past while opening doors for the next generation of athletes. We are building a brand rooted in ownership, storytelling, and recognition—because history shouldn’t just be remembered. It should be rewarded.
