Flyers and Sixers fans have Adrienne Briones-Carlson to thank for the latest merch at the Wells Fargo Center. The NoLibs resident and mom to son Joaquin Gabriel was named VP of retail last summer and has been changing the game with a sporty-chic in-house line, collections with more options for women and kids, and other shopping updates. Here's what else wins big with her.
Morning ritual: Get up 30 minutes before my son, check the phones for game scores, shower, put on makeup, feed the dogs, wake up my son, get him ready -- then off to daycare.
Desk mates: C.O. Bigelow rose salve, Calyan Wax Co.'s fir and clove candle, and a Polaroid of my son.
Biggest inspiration: Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. Her stand on a woman's body, identity, love, and death is just brilliant.
New team fashions: Mitchell & Ness continues to crush men's and women's Flyers gear. I love the Broad Street Bullies satin coach's jacket. We've also been working with Sport Design Sweden, known for androgynous looks that highlight fashionable streetwear. My favorite piece from them is the 76ers black hoodie with embroidery.
Person I admire: My mother. She's the reason I am the woman, mother, and wife I am today. And she makes a mean arroz con pollo.
Recent splurge: A family trip to Puerto Rico to celebrate my son's birthday.
