|
First June Jones leaves for SMU, and Hawai'i promotes Greg McMackin. And now as some of you may or may not know The University of Hawaii athletic department announced a breakthrough eight-year, $4.1 million apparel contract with Under Armour, joining Auburn, Maryland, South Carolina and Texas Tech as teams with Under Armour deals.
Under Armour will supply the team with $2,424,000 in product for the student-athletes, coaches, and staff during the term of the agreement. Under Armour will also pay UH $1,680,000 in cash, including $1,140,000 in rights fees and a minimum of $540,000 in marketing support as a member of the UH Corporate Partner Program.
Uniform Highlights
- Use of the UH green in both the home and away uniforms was a priority
- The fabric on the jersey shoulders and sleeves has a tapa design.
- Instead of "Warriors" above the numbers, the "Hawai`i" brand is being used in order to provide greater university recognition. Also, the "Hawai`i" text size is larger for great visibility.
- The "H" brand is featured on the pants and above the player's name on the back of the jersey.
- The distinctive UH tapa numbers are used on both uniforms.
- Only UH's green helmet will be worn for both home and away games.
- The silver road uniform, including the jerseys, pants, and helmet, will not be continued.
Here are the old Nike home and away uniforms.
