Adidas renews deal with Indiana Hoosiers

Posted by ZA on April 30, 2008

The Indiana University Hoosiers men’s basketball team will continue to wear the red striped pants and distinctive shoes they are known for.  IU announced they agreed to extend their endorsement contract with Adidas through the 2015-2016 scholastic year.  The deal means that all Hoosiers athletes will be outfitted by Adidas.  Scout.com reports the 8-year deal is worth $21 million, which is a $500K per year bump from the original deal signed in 2004.
