Raiders Sign Deal with Nike Jan. 6, 2010 The Wright State University athletic department and Nike/Impact Sports have entered into a three-year agreement that will make Nike the official provider of Raider uniforms, equipment and apparel, beginning immediately. "This opportunity to partner with Nike and Impact Sports, the recognized leaders in sports apparel and gear, speaks to the success that our programs have achieved over time," said Wright State University director of athletics Bob Grant. "We are always looking to provide our student-athletes with the best chances to compete successfully, and working with Nike/Impact Sports is a major step in that direction." The agreement will bring all the Raider sports under the same agreement and brand for the first time. Several WSU athletic teams, including the basketball programs, have used Nike for uniforms, equipment, and apparel in the past, but this will mark the first time all 16 sports will be included in an agreement. Volleyball will fully come into the agreement once their current deal expires. Impact Sports in Indianapolis will serve as WSU's supplier of Nike products. "Impact Sports is very excited to continue its association with Wright State University and pleased to be the company chosen to service the University's Nike contract," said Paul Brunelle of Impact Sports said. "We value this relationship and are honored to partner with such a quality institution. We certainly applaud and admire the achievements of the school's student-athletes and recognize the quality coaching and administration that foster this level of success." While the agreement goes into place at the beginning of the next school year, Raider programs will have up to three seasons to implement the new uniforms. www.wsuraiders.com/genrel/010610aaa.html

We've used Nike in the past and have tried to get them to make replica jerseys. They won't make them unless they are ordered in a very very large quantity. WSU was never able to find a store willing to front a large enough order to get it done.
