Jordan Brand<\/a> is going back to school. Adding to its already prolific roster of collegiate partners, the brand is extending its reach with UCLA. The brand and the Bruins kick off the deal starting in July 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe deal comes months after the school’s current sponsor, Under Armour, decided to end its relationship early. The Bruins and Under Armour agreed to a 15-year deal back in 2016 that took effect in 2017. Under Armour, however, recently pulled out of the $280 million deal. UA gear and equipment will be used for the rest of the 2020-2021 academic year. Prior to that, adidas sponsored the university. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement comprises all 25 of UCLA\u2019s varsity sports teams as Nike will supply each with uniforms, apparel, and equipment, with\u00a0Jordan Brand outfitting\u00a0the football and men\u00a0and women\u2019s basketball programs. UCLA now becomes the fifth collegiate school to don the Jumpman on the football field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cUCLA is elite, and our student-athletes deserve every resource in their pursuit of excellence.
