- Latest collegiate partnership with the Huskies is the third addition to adidas’ NCAA portfolio in the last 18 months -
PORTLAND, Ore. April 13, 2018 –
adidas continues to expand its footprint in college athletics on both
coasts. The brand officially announced today that starting on July 1,
2019, the University of Washington (UW) Huskies will represent the three
stripes brand with the start of a 10-year partnership, in which the
Portland,Ore. based company will serve as the exclusive supplier for the
UW athletics uniforms, apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories for
the Huskies.
“When you think about college
sports in America, and especially in the Pac-12, University of
Washington has created an extraordinary program for all of its athletes –
men and women – across all of its sports,” said Mark King, president of
adidas North America. “What’s most exciting for me in this new
partnership is how much we believe in each other. The Huskies are
consistently pushing the envelope, and at adidas, we’re always looking
to create new and different things for the world of sports. Together
we’re ready to propel the Huskies to new heights and co-create the
future of college sports.”
In the last 18
months, adidas has re-signed the University of Kansas, University of
Louisville and the University of Nebraska. UW becomes the second Pac-12
Conference school within the adidas NCAA portfolio joining Arizona State
University. Additionally, the three-stripe brand added Rutgers and
Georgia Tech to its roster.
UW has prided
itself on a high-ranking athletic department comprised of 22 collegiate
athletic sports programs. In its long, proud history, the highly-touted
Husky football teams have won 15 conference titles, seven Rose Bowls and
two Natinoal Championships. Founded in 1861, the UW has emerged as one
of the world’s leading research universities and is known for social
science, business, medical and engineering programs.
