East Texas A&M University has announced a multi-year partnership with Nike and BSN SPORTS. Nike, the Oregon-based global leader in sports apparel, will become the official outfitter of East Texas A&M beginning June 1, 2025.

Nike’s leadership in the world of sports aligns perfectly with our mission to provide a transformative educational experience, and we are thrilled to bring their cutting-edge technology and unparalleled support to our university,” said President Mark Rudin.
East Texas A&M becomes the only school currently in the Southland Conference to be outfitted by Nike, who will provide on-field and training apparel and equipment for all 14 intercollegiate sports.
“This is a monumental day in the history of Lion Athletics. The East Texas A&M brand is on the rise, and this partnership announcement is just another milestone in our journey to become one of the preeminent Division I FCS institutions in the country,” said Director of Athletics Jim Curry. “We are grateful to Nike and BSN SPORTS for their belief and investment in our vision for Lion Athletics and recognizing the growth and trajectory of the university as a whole. There is no better time than now to be associated with East Texas A&M.”
Across the state of Texas, East Texas A&M becomes the eighth Division I institution and just the second within Division I FCS to be outfitted by Nike.
On the cutting edge of design and innovation, East Texas A&M student-athletes will receive the latest styles that Nike has to offer, providing them with the opportunity to maximize their performance in and out of competition.
