Oregon Ducks, who will maintain
Nike relationship for uniforms, signs three-year agreement with Brine.
EUGENE, Ore. � The University of
Oregon women�s lacrosse program signed a three-year deal with Brine, a
national leader in lacrosse, soccer, volleyball and field hockey
equipment.
Brine will provide sticks, gloves, eye masks, balls as well as
goalies� sticks and helmets. The Ducks� uniforms and shoes will still
be supplied by Nike, which outfits all of Oregon�s 18 intercollegiate
sports.
�I�m excited with the partnership between Brine and Nike,� first-year
Oregon coach Jen Larsen said. �They are two fantastic companies that
will be supplying us with our equipment needs.�
A privately-owned company, Brine, Inc. is the successor to the
original W.H. Brine Company founded in 1922. Brine started as a small
athletic equipment and uniform company, selling to private schools and
regional camps and quickly grew into a major manufacturer of lacrosse
and soccer products.
Fans can catch a glimpse of Oregon�s first intercollegiate lacrosse
team Oct. 29 during a scrimmage at Pap� Field against a Portland club
team. The first regular season game is Feb. 12 against Stanford, also
at Pap� Field. The Ducks have the only Division I women�s lacrosse
program in the Northwest.
