The University of Alabama-Huntsville Department of Athletics has entered into a four-year agreement that makes Nike the official supplier of the school's athletic wear beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year. Adidas had been the university's sponsor since 2007.
UAH will obtain the Nike product from Nashville Sports Goods, based in Tennessee.
“We are ecstatic about our new multi-year agreement with Nike through Nashville Sporting Goods,” UAH Director of Athletics E.J. Brophy said. “Nike is the premier shoe and apparel company in the world and Nashville Sporting Goods is the class of our region, servicing such schools as Vanderbilt, Chattanooga and Murray State. We feel extremely fortunate to be working with both of these first-class organizations.”
The deal will provide game uniforms and staff clothing emblazoned with Nike's logo.
The agreement formally begins on July 1.
