Dear supporters,
Today we announced the NIL Store powered by Campus Ink has become an officially licensed apparel partner of ESPN, becoming the first and only NIL apparel provider for the most iconic media brand in sports.
Because of your support over the last five years, ESPN has chosen the NIL Store to be its first and only NIL apparel provider.
Our first collection launch is this Fall, and we'll keep adding ESPN branded apparel throughout the season. Yes, that means College Gameday, Sportscenter & more!
What this means for you:
-
More ways to support the athletes you follow: This partnership creates an entirely new earning opportunity for the student-athletes featured in ESPN's coverage, so every purchase does even more to directly support the players behind this collection. All ESPN licensed apparel will be featured on ESPN’s official merch store and may receive additional coverage via ESPN’s marketing arms.
-
A new kind of collectible: The products will be built around real ESPN editorial storylines, previews, and moments in college football, giving you gear tied to the biggest stories of the season
-
More variety, more often: This partnership expands what's possible for us going forward: bigger collaborations, elevated apparel around the biggest moments in college sports, and a broader mix of styles and product as we grow this relationship with ESPN.
We built the NIL Store to not only give fans a direct way to support student-athletes, but provide the athletes themselves with as many earning opportunities as possible through their merchandise sales. This partnership further cements that mission.
Stay tuned for more!
Steven Farag
Co-Founder & CEO, Campus Ink / The NIL Store
