BALTIMORE, Md. (October 26, 2020) – Morgan State University has announced a multi-year, multimillion dollar uniform and apparel partnership with international athletic outfitter Under Armour, naming the global performance brand as the official outfitter for the Morgan State Athletic Department and its teams, starting in 2020.

The agreement with Under Armour will allow Morgan State to provide Under Armour uniforms, apparel, gear and equipment for its complete roster of student-athletes, coaches, athletic department personnel and the campus community. It’s a tremendous opportunity for the Bears to be associated with an award-winning brand headquartered in Baltimore and further illustrates Morgan’s continued commitment to excellence—on and off the field.

“Morgan State is excited to begin our new partnership with Under Armour as we look to provide our student-athletes the best possible resources to excel on the national stage,” said MSU Athletic Director Edward Scott, Ph.D.  “As Maryland’s Preeminent Public Urban Research University, this newly formed partnership between Morgan and Under Armour makes perfect sense for the City of Baltimore, Morgan State University and Under Armour.  As we went through our process it became clear that Under Armour is uniquely positioned to tell our story and to help grow the brand of Morgan Athletics.”

The uniform and apparel agreement with Under Armour will last for five-years, and the affiliation will debut with the first game of the season in men’s and women’s basketball on November 25, 2020.

In signing this deal, Morgan State joins the standout Under Armour roster of NCAA partners that includes the University of Maryland; University of Wisconsin; University of Notre Dame; Northwestern University and University of South Carolina.
