The University of Oklahoma became the third collegiate football program to represent Jordan Brand on the gridiron with the partnership to also extend to the men’s and women’s basketball teams. The Sooners’ uniforms will begin to feature the Jumpman logo at the start of the 2018-19 season.
Oklahoma has a long-standing history of greatness. On the football field, the Sooners are seven-time National Champions, 45-time conference champs. Additionally, the program has produced five Heisman Trophy winners. On the hardwood, the Sooners men’s teams have participated in the NCAA Tournament 30 times and reached the Final Four five times; the women’s team has made three Final Fours.
Blake Griffin, a long-time Jordan Brand family member, is a University of Oklahoma alum whose No. 23 jersey was recently honored by the university. Griffin was on OU’s campus on Friday to announce the brand’s new partnership and welcome the Sooners to the Jordan family.
Jordan Brand now has presence in four major Division I conferences — the Big 10, Big 12, ACC and the Big East. Jordan Brand Oklahoma merchandise will begin to hit retail in summer 2018.
Other Jordan schools included North Carolina and Michigan.
