Gallaudet University, based in Washington, D.C., has entered a new multi-year partnership, making BSN Sports the exclusive supplier of Nike uniforms, apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment for the University’s 18 varsity and five club sports programs. Previously, Under Armour outfitted the school’s student athletes.
Gallaudet University, known for accommodating deaf and hard-of-hearing students, sponsors 18 NCAA Division III varsity sports and 5 club sports, competing primarily in the United East Conference.
As part of the agreement, Gallaudet Athletics will have access to Nike’s apparel, footwear and equipment. In addition, select competition uniforms and apparel will feature the Jumpman logo.
The new partnership will begin with the 2026/27 academic year, with Nike apparel, footwear and equipment being phased into competition and training programs across Gallaudet Athletics.
“Growing up in Chicago, I had the privilege of watching Michael Jordan and Nike build one of the most iconic brands in Sports,” said Gallaudet Director of Athletics Warren Keller. “Our deaf and hard-of-hearing student athletes deserve access to the very best, and this partnership with Nike and BSN Sports will help provide that experience. This is a historic milestone for Gallaudet Athletics and marks the beginning of an exciting new era for Bison Athletics.”
“We look forward to partnering with Nike to bring our collective expertise to support Gallaudet University’s winning tradition and history of innovation,” said Bill Stote, senior vice president of BSN Sports collegiate select division. “Every Bison student-athlete, coach, staff member, and fans will have access to the best products and equipment they need to compete and show their school pride all season long.”
