Dallas Baptist University and Patriot Athletics announced today a new multi-year partnership with Under Armour, the global leader in innovative apparel and footwear.
 
The department-wide agreement will begin during the ensuing academic year and will provide industry leading apparel and training gear for DBU's 14 NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics programs and five club sport programs.
 
"We could not be more pleased to enter in to this new multi-year partnership with Under Armour as it will directly benefit our athletics programs and student-athletes," shared DBU Director of Athletics Connor Smith. "This is an exciting time for our University and we look forward to the new opportunities that this partnership will provide as we strive to build Champions for Christ."
 
The Patriots will join a select few NCAA Division II athletics programs to ink a multi-year agreement with Under Armour, Inc. as the exclusive provider of all merchandise and apparel needs. Through this new partnership, DBU and Patriot Athletics will also benefit from unique brand enhancement and engagement opportunities that will further contribute to the DBU student-athlete experience.
 
"We are honored and excited to officially welcome Dallas Baptist University into the Under Armour family and help elevate the performance of all Patriots with innovative footwear and apparel." said Greg Romine, Team Sports Manager Texas, Under Armour. 
 
The Patriots are coming off another record breaking year that included a 3.20 department-wide grade point average, six conference championships, six regional championship appearances, one NCAA DII national championship runner-up finish, 14 NCCAA national titles, and the department's second consecutive Heartland Conference Commissioner's Cup.
