The partnership, which began back in 2009, sees official merchandise available at www.TeamUSAShop.com and allows fans to choose from hundreds of red, white and blue products from the USOC's official licensees including Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren and Outerstuff.

Products from the London 2012 Olympic Games range are currently available along with Team USA t-shirts, hats, jerseys, sweatshirts, collectibles and more.

In addition, TeamFanShop is now the official online store provider for six of the USOC's National Governing Bodies (NGB), which are USA Curling, USA Field Hockey, US Ski and Snowboard, US Speedskating, USA Swimming and USA Team Handball.

"We chose TeamFanShop to power Team USA's official online store because it offers a full suite of valuable services," said Peter Zeytoonjian, the USOC managing director of consumer products.

"TeamFanShop, the USOC and our NGB partners are able to offer our fans and customers a rewarding shopping experience while increasing online sales.

"The first two years of our partnership have been highly successful and we look forward to continuing our relationship."

Every fan of Team USA gets a shopping experience featuring $4.99 (£3.20/€3.70) flat rate, three-day shipping and easy returns.

"Our partnership with Team USA has proven to be a mutually successful endeavour and TeamFanShop anticipates even greater results during the coming years," said Brian Swallow, vice- president of sales and marketing for TeamFanShop.

"The 2012 London Olympic Games are right around the corner and Team USA fans are going to want merchandise quickly and efficiently.

"With Team USA merchandise by Polo Ralph Lauren, relationships with all major licensees, including Nike, the official outfitter for US Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and the largest assortment of officially licensed USOC gear found anywhere, TeamFanShop is ready to meet the needs of Team USA supporters everywhere."
