PHILADELPHIA – Drexel Athletics has announced an extension with Nike and BSN SPORTS to continue to be the school's official apparel, footwear and uniform provider.
Drexel has been working with Nike and BSN SPORTS since 2018. The original agreement was part of BSN SPORTS Collegiate Select program, which aimed to make BSN SPORTS a one-stop provider for all collegiate apparel and equipment.
"The Dragons continued relationship with Nike and BSN SPORTS is a testament to the well-established partnership and the mutual desire to extend a long-term agreement," said Drexel Athletic Director Maisha Kelly. "Outfitting and supplying our student-athletes with apparel, footwear and equipment that supports their success is critical in our mission. Our student-athletes will continue to reap the benefits of the unquestioned leader in sports apparel as we move forward in showcasing our department and institution."
Todd Northrop, Vice President of BSN SPORTS Collegiate Select Program, said, "We are elated to continue supporting Drexel Athletics with unparalleled access to top team gear and apparel. While our local team will stay connected to the daily needs of coaches and administrators, the Dragon community will benefit from BSN SPORTS' expansive resources including program branding products, our team of sport category experts and leading purchasing support teams to keep Drexel Athletics at the top of their game. Through this extended partnership, our team at BSN SPORTS is eager to continue living out our mission of putting more time back in the days of coaches and administrators so they can focus on positively impacting the lives of student athletes."
In addition, LEONA assisted Drexel in the process and evaluation that led to the partnership.
