Topic:  Next athletic apparel contract? Author Message Tom Valentino General User Member Since: 3/13/2005 Location: Painesville, OH Post Count: 277 Status: Offline     Next athletic apparel contract?    Posted: 6/2/2025 1:41:17 PM  Have we heard anything about our next athletic apparel contract? As far as I can tell, our most recent deal was signed with adidas for an 8-year term that was to begin in July 2017. That was announced in March 2017, so I'm a little surprised nothing has been reported about a new deal or an extension of the previous one by now.

Why would you be shocked that no announcement would be made? We rarely ever make announcements.

Others that know more can chime in. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

I am hopeful Adidas remains basically because I have 7 million or so invested in apparel. Would not be surprised if they move to Nike. I just hope it financially makes sense.

Zide’s Sport Shop exclusive contract? I’m kind of disappointed in that. Knock off Starter Jackets with the Z logo?

Digging a bit further into the previous contract, it looks like there were a couple option years at the end of the deal. Maybe one of those was exercised for 2025-26?

It seems like the Athletic Dept and Bobcat Club seem pretty disconnected.

Still no idea if it’s a new deal or an option year on the old one, but at least for now, Adidas it is. New template for the football uniforms looks a lot better.

This aged well. Any other policies you’d like to brief us on that the University has? https://bit.ly/45gRMdB Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 21  of 21 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'General Ohio University Discussion/Alumni Events' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 306 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 306 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
