HANOVER, Ind. – Hanover College has announced a multi-year partnership with BSN SPORTS, in partnership with NIKE, the global leader in sporting goods, apparel, equipment and accessories. Through this partnership, BSN SPORTS will become the first-ever official supplier of Panther Athletics.

BSN SPORTS, with a mission to elevate the student-athlete experience, will serve as the official equipment supplier of Hanover College Athletics while outfitting college athletes, coaches, and the surrounding community in premier NIKE products.

"We are thrilled to be aligned with the top athletics label in sports in NIKE as well as with the BSN SPORTS family – who also leads the industry with NIKE and other elite companies. This is a big day for Hanover College and a big step forward for our student athletes, coaches, and staff," says Mark Shook, Vice President for Athletics at Hanover College.

"This not only gives our people access to the gear the best athletes in the world rely on, but it also allows us to consolidate our logos, branding, colors, etc., and provide our alumni, donors, friends, and family opportunities to join the fun and upgrade their wardrobes as well."

As part of the multi-year deal, BSN SPORTS will provide premier NIKE footwear, uniforms, apparel, and BSN equipment for our 20 varsity sport programs. With incentives built into the partnership, it will stand to save the department money while providing our student-athletes with exclusive access to NIKE products.
