University Signs Three-Year Deal With Nike

University of Hartford athletics has entered into a three-year agreement with Nike, a deal that will supply footwear, apparel and equipment to the department and its teams.

“We are very happy with our partnership with Nike,” said Director of Athletics Patricia H. Meiser. “We’re excited to have an all-department program in place, and the power and quality of our association with the Nike brand is an important step forward for the University.”

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Starting in the fall of 2007, the majority of Hartford’s student-athletes will wear Nike products for all practices and events. The University will honor existing apparel and equipment contracts currently in place until such agreements expire.

The University of Hartford, entering its 24th year as an NCAA Division I institution, offers 18 intercollegiate sports (nine for men, and nine for women) and services more than 300 student-athletes.
