About our Ambassadors

At XX20 Sports, innovation has always been at the heart of everything we do. Founded with a bold vision to redefine bowls and move the sport beyond tradition, we set out to prove that performance, comfort, and modern style can exist together. That same belief continues to drive us today — and it’s reflected perfectly in our Brand Ambassadors.

Our ambassadors are talented, forward-thinking bowlers who embody the XX20 values both on and off the green. They represent a new generation of the sport: confident, competitive, and unafraid to challenge outdated norms. United by a shared commitment to modern, comfortable bowls clothing, they wear XX20 not just as a uniform, but as a statement of where the game is heading.

 

As XX20 Sports continues to grow and evolve, our Brand Ambassadors remain central to our journey. They inspire, influence, and help shape the future of bowls — proving that excellence, individuality, and innovation belong at every level of the game.
