It’s official, the University of Michigan and Nike have joined forces once again. The partnership begins on August 1, 2016, and will see Nike supply all 31 of U-M’s athletics programs with uniforms, footwear, apparel and equipment. The agreements runs through 2027, with an option to extend the deal to 2031.
“After careful consideration, the right partner for the University of Michigan was Nike,” said Interim Athletic Director Jim Hackett. “This decision, this partnership is about more than Michigan athletics; at the core, it is about our university community and it is about two great names reuniting for an opportunity that speaks to more than uniforms and apparel.
“Nike is a recognized leader in its field when it comes to product innovation and we look forward to future collaboration.”
A nice little perk of this deal will be that the agreement includes the use of Jordan Brand apparel and footwear for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. So you know means exclusives, exclusives and more exclusives.
Prior to their partnership with Nike, the University of Michigan was partners with adidas since 2007.
