Penn has had a strong relationship with Nike dating back to 2009 when the men's and women's basketball teams first signed with Nike. In 2015, Penn inked its first all-school contract, expanding to support to the entire department.
"We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Nike to outfit our student-athletes, coaches and staff," Rudy Fuller, Interim Director of Athletics and Recreation said. "As we begin to return to a new normal following this challenging past year, it is our intent to over-deliver on the student-athlete experience for our young men and women who have been so negatively impacted by the pandemic. Part of that goal is to continue to provide our student-athletes with the best footwear, apparel and accessories which Nike offers as the premier brand in this space."
