The insurance provider has been a partner of the Lynx organization for 20 years, supporting the team’s community initiatives, but has only now taken up the role of jersey patch sponsor.

On May 4, the patch will be debuted at the Lynx’s first pre-season fixture against the Chicago Sky in their home Target Center arena, where jerseys featuring the patch will be exclusively sold.

Federated Insurance replaces the previous patch partner, health and wellness company Sharecare, which had served in the role since 2019.
