I love salmon (especially fly fishing for them). I also love Cornell Hockey. And I can get pretty excited about clothing if it matches my style. That’s why I was extremely interested when I heard about a clothing line called Salmon Cove that was launched by two former Cornell hockey players (Ryan Vesce and Ben Wallace) in 2008. I never ended up buying anything, but I occasionally checked back in to see how they were doing. Recently I noticed that I was seeing a lot of Salmon Cove ads targeted to me on Facebook, so I visited their website to see what was new. The company is now based in Chicago, IL (just around the corner from me), and it has relaunched with new owner/leadership. The brand and style are still the same–preppy–but they’ve certainly added a Midwestern flair with shirt names like The Macinac Button Down and The Harbor Springs Button Down. If I had to compare them to anything, it’d probably be Vineyard Vines, but Salmon Cove definitely has their own style (and an awesome fish logo on all of their clothing).

Swim into the Cove

Salmon Cove is just starting their relaunch, so there isn’t a ton of information out there about them yet; however, they’ve already done some cool stuff in terms of sponsorships. They are the Official Dry Land Sponsor of the Canadian Yachting Association, and they also have PGA and LPGA players whom they sponsor. They may also be a sponsor of an Icelandic soccer team called Stjarnan that does an awesome salmon-themed goal celebration. The best way to keep up with what’s going on at Salmon Cove is to read their blog called The Current. The other option is to get a job with them. Right now their Jobs page shows a few open positions including Business Development Associate, Sales Associate (Part-time, remote), and a few internships. Check the positions out and see if you can snag one.
