Adidas renewed its partnership with Missouri State University Athletics for another five years. Game One will become the official team dealer and authorized third-party vendor for the school, providing Adidas apparel, footwear and equipment.
The terms of the Game One agreement coincide with the timing of the overarching Adidas contract.
Adidas will remain the official outfitter of the Bears through June 30, 2031, with two one-year renewal options thereafter. The partnership began in 2014.
“Adidas is one of the most recognized athletic brands in the world, and we are excited to continue our partnership,” said Director of Athletics Patrick Ransdell. “We continue to grow our student-athlete experience, and outfitting our teams with a global brand is certainly part of our efforts. We are excited about our future and the implications of a continued partnership with Adidas.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Missouri State University as one of our newest Game One partners,” said Pat Weber, CEO and president of Game One. “Under the leadership of Patrick Ransdell, Missouri State’s current trajectory has a very high ceiling, and we are thrilled to be part of that momentum. What a great opportunity to lock arms with adidas while serving and celebrating Mo State’s talented student-athletes, quality coaches, and outstanding campus.”
“It is both a pleasure and privilege to become Missouri State’s apparel and equipment team dealer during this historic transition to FBS and Conference USA competition,” noted Tim McMurray, vice president of Collegiate Partnerships. “Having known Patrick for many years and working closely with Casey Hunt to finalize this contract, it is evident that the leadership in Springfield is committed to an elite athletics program. This partnership will assist in blazing a trail for both Bear Athletics and the entire Missouri State campus.”
