Michigan-adidas gear will arrive in stores next summer. Fans in Ann Arbor and across the nation will be able to purchase a wide range of products that include sideline gear, coaches' polo shirts, hats, jerseys, performance apparel and outerwear. U-M Athletic Director Bill Martin specifically pointed to adidas' agreement to provide on-site support and a pledge for unique sideline apparel as key factors in the agreement.
“We believe the new partnership is one of the strongest in college sports,” added U-M Athletics Chief Financial Officer Jason Winters. “Funding from the new agreement will provide added resources to our long term facility renewal plan.”
The contract includes important provisions that reflect the commitment of both the University and adidas to labor and human rights issues. adidas' Social & Environmental Affairs team monitors contract factories for compliance with fair labor and sustainability codes of conduct in order to identify potential problems and implement positive changes. The adidas SEA team provides regular monitoring reports to adidas partner schools.
