Steve Rendle, VF’s Chairman, President and CEO, explained:
"Driving and optimizing our portfolio continues to be a top strategic priority for VF, and exploring strategic alternatives for our occupational Work brands is the natural next step in that process.

49ers Victory on Sunday Puts Them Up Against Kansas City for Super Bowl LIV, 2019 Australian Open Women’s Singles Champ Osaka Posts Win Today as Men’s Singles Champ Djokovic Vies to Defend Title
Following a 37-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers are headed to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2012, where they will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Miami. The 49ers’ wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has played in two Super Bowls previously, once as a rookie in 2011, where his Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Packers, and again in 2015, when he won with the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers. Sanders told ESPN’s Josina Anderson in an interview:
“Obviously, this week is going to be big because when we get to Miami, it's going to be a frenzy, so this week, we've got to practice like it is Super Bowl week just so we can stay focused. Then next week still have that same mentality, but we know it's going to be crazy out there. All the times that I've been, that first week was the most important week, so that's my message to the guys.”
The Australian Open is well underway with superstars Angelique Kerber, Simona Halep, and last year’s champion Naomi Osaka scoring victories today in the Women’s Singles. On the Men’s Singles side, South African Kevin Anderson posted a win today, along with Russian Daniil Medvedev. Last year’s Men’s Singles champion Novak Djokovic faces Japan’s Tatsuma Ito later today.
