SEATTLE – The Washington NIL Store powered by Campus Ink is officially open for business, featuring officially licensed NIL merchandise opportunities for every Husky athlete.
Part of the NIL Store network, the Washington NIL Store is every fan’s one-stop-shop to support their favorite Husky athletes and place industry-leading payments directly into their pockets.
All merchandise on the Washington NIL Store is officially licensed by the University of Washington. Husky fans are encouraged to look for the “officially licensed” label. When Washington fans see the CLC label, they can be assured that they are purchasing officially licensed merchandise benefiting the University of Washington Athletics Department, and in the case of the University of Washington NIL Store powered by Campus Ink, they are also providing support to Husky student-athletes.
This is just the start. The Washington NIL Store team will be continuously onboarding athletes while creating unique core products and custom merch drops throughout the year.
Each student-athlete’s locker room includes a collection of core products which feature personalized names and numbers for applicable athletes.
The NIL Store team handles all the creative, product creation, design, marketing, fulfillment and customer service for its student-athletes. Additionally, the NIL Store works directly with student-athletes to educate them on merchandising, marketing and sales trends to develop strategies for optimal success.
In addition to Washington, the NIL Store network of schools includes Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Utah, Purdue, Penn State, LSU, Nebraska, Maryland, Michigan State, Duke, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, UConn, Rutgers, Iowa State, Florida State, Northwestern and more, with many more stores currently under construction.
ABOUT CAMPUS INK AND THE NIL STORE
Backed by Mark Cuban, Campus Ink expanded into the Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) space in 2021 and launched the NIL Store, which serves as a merchandising solution for student-athletes and schools across the country. The NIL Store operates with the firm belief that every student-athlete has an opportunity to capitalize on their NIL and should earn industry-leading payouts. Campus Ink was founded in 1947 on the campus of the University of Illinois and was reimagined in 2015 with an office in downtown Chicago and a production facility in Urbana, Ill., where the company handles all of its own production and fulfillment.
