Football Announces Partnership with adidas

Catamount football joins men's basketball, women's soccer and volleyball teams in partnering with adidas. A two-year partnership for the football team provides for adidas to be the official athletic footwear, apparel and accessory brand of Catamount football for the 2014 and 2015 football seasons.

"A lot of the top college football programs in America are wearing adidas, one of the premier clothing companies. We see many positives in being with a company that can outfit us from top-to-bottom in terms of uniforms and footwear," head football coach Mark Speir said. "What was most exciting to us was that adidas pursued Western Carolina University and sees the value of WCU being one of their schools."

He added, "We demand the most and demand a lot out of our players; this will reward our players by putting them in top-of-the-line apparel."

"We are proud to welcome Western Carolina football back to the adidas family," said Mark Daniels, director of team sports for adidas America. "We look forward to providing lightweight adizero cleats and revolutionary TECHFIT uniforms to the Catamounts next season helping them play faster, lighter and stronger."
