Spalding University, based in Louisville, KY, agreed to a new three-year partnership with Nike and BSN Sports, replacing Under Armour.
Under the terms of the deal, Nike will serve as the official apparel, footwear and uniform provider of the Golden Eagles, with BSN Sports serving as the official equipment and accessories provider.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with Nike and BSN Sports, two of the most respected brands in athletics. This collaboration ensures our student-athletes and coaches have access to the very best apparel, footwear, and equipment, allowing them to perform and represent Spalding University at the highest level. We’re proud to see the Golden Eagles wearing the Nike Swoosh as we compete and showcase the spirit of Spalding on and off the field,” said Brian Clinard, director of athletics at Spalding University.
The department-wide partnership designates BSN Sports, a division of Varsity Brands, as the official supplier of Spalding University Athletics uniforms, apparel, footwear, equipment, and accessories. The team will wear Nike sideline gear for all games, practices and official team events.
Todd Northrop, VP of BSN Sports Collegiate Select Division, said, “We are thrilled to embark on this new partnership between Spalding University Athletics, BSN Sports, and Nike. Our team is ready to provide Golden Eagles coaches and student-athletes with elite service, expertise and industry-leading access to sports equipment and premier apparel. BSN Sports is ready to support Spalding in maintaining their success as a leader in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and fuel the continued growth of their mission-driven legacy.”
