Drew22 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Because the school can sell the rights to use their logos to whomever the want to. Many schools do this. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I don't have a picture, but the Championship hats they wore after the game didn't have the Nike Swoosh on the side. The same hats are for sale at lids.com with the swoosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoGTS Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 My brother has an Adidas FSU shirt and I have a UA Miami shirt, its like Drew said, they let more than just their athletic supplier make apparel with their logo.

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

illini1 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I think Nike has the contract for locker room hats and tshirts for the big 4 BCS bowls and National Championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same hats are for sale at lids.com with the swoosh.Nike's deal with the BCS is the same as their deal with the NCAA for men's and women's basketball tournament championship gear. If a school that wins a title has a contract with another manufacturer, they are provided with product to wear on-field (or on-court) that does not bear the competing logo. The schools may not distribute or wear any other championship products on field or on-court. All product at retail will have the Nike logo and Nike has exclusive rights to sell products with the BCS and bowl game logos. Institutions can license any company they want to make bowl-themed apparel, but it will not bear the BCS logo. The individual bowls can license the use of their logo to the participating schools and their designated manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELDARBfield Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Not gonna lie. I'm loving the crystal football pattern on the hat. Freakin' brilliant.Also, I'm convinced the "carbon fiber" stripes on the sides of the hat were intended for an Oregon hat.

Their deal with the BCS also allows them to produce retail products, not just on-field materials, with the school, bowl and BCS logos. And no, I don't haven links, I'm reading from documents sent to us from our last final four trip. A friend that works with the Sugar Bowl told me the same information, with identical wording from the NCAA packet is sent to the participants in the five BCS bowls.

"And while Auburn is outfitted by Under Armour, Nike actually has the logo rights with the BCS, so in order to get an Auburn ?National Champs? t-shirt that actually has the BCS logo on it you?ll have to shop Swoosh." Crazier things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
