Nike will provide Western Kentucky with more than $400,000 worth of gear for each of the next five years.
The Daily News obtained a copy of the school’s agreement with its new apparel provider through an open records request. Nike replaced Russell Athletic this summer as official apparel partner for Hilltopper and Lady Topper teams.
The deal started July 1 and will run through June 30, 2022. WKU will receive $430,000 worth of product in 2017-18 and then $415,000 annually for the remaining four years of the deal.
The terms of the deal are similar to what the school received from Russell in recent years.
