Beverly Hills – The Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) has entered into a five-year partnership agreement with Nike and BSN Sports to provide official athletic uniforms and equipment for student athletes, starting with the 2025-26 school year. This new collaboration aims to enhance the sporting experience for students ranging from elementary levels through high school.
Under this agreement, sports teams within the district will don official Nike attire during games, practices, and various athletic events. While financial specifics of the contract remain undisclosed, the partnership promises significant benefits to student athletes and the broader school community. BSN Sports will serve as the exclusive supplier of Nike products and related athletic gear for all district schools.
The partnership not only emphasizes quality uniforms but also incorporates additional features, such as a guest speaker event aimed at inspiring young athletes. A complete visual branding package will be implemented to ensure a cohesive athletic identity across all BHUSD campuses. This branding initiative is designed to foster a unified spirit among student athletes and enhance school pride during sporting events.
Furthermore, community members will gain access to an online store, offering the opportunity to purchase BHUSD-branded Nike merchandise, thus extending the reach of school spirit beyond the students and athletes.
While the partnership provides access to high-quality gear and discounts on uniforms, footwear, and additional Nike products, it does not obligate individual schools or teams to procure these items. However, substantial savings and benefits are available if the district meets certain spending criteria. Specifically, if BHUSD spends at least $225,000 annually on Nike products, it will unlock additional promotional benefits. This includes a $20,000 credit for Nike products and a $40,000 branding package to further enhance the district’s athletic presence.
The proposal faced a degree of scrutiny before receiving board approval. Concerns were raised by some board members regarding the decision-making process, particularly the perceived lack of discussion surrounding the agreement. Despite these concerns, the board approved the partnership in a 3-0 vote, with two members abstaining. Those who abstained expressed a desire for further consideration of the implications of the deal.
This agreement aligns with the district’s ongoing commitment to promoting excellence in education and extracurricular activities. The partnership with such a notable sports brand reflects BHUSD’s dedication to equipping its student athletes with the resources they need to succeed both on and off the field.
As the Beverly Hills Unified School District prepares for the launch of this partnership, the excitement grows among students, parents, and school staff alike. The introduction of official Nike gear is expected to foster enthusiasm and motivation, reinforcing the idea that being part of a team comes with more than just competition; it offers a sense of belonging and pride in one’s school.
Overall, the collaboration with Nike and BSN Sports is a significant step for the Beverly Hills Unified School District, aiming to elevate the athletic experience for student athletes while promoting a collective identity within the community.
