Nike has a ton of sponsorships in sports. Here are the 30 best jerseys they’ve ever made.
There is perhaps no company more synonymous with sports than Nike. Ever since their famous sponsorship of Michael Jordan, it has become a global company. The company provides sports equipment all around the world and currently sponsors over 100 teams. This number is constantly growing and to start the 2017-18 season, they will be the exclusive provider for NBA jerseys.
However, this won’t be the first time they’ve designed NBA jerseys, as they were the sponsor for several teams in the 1990’s before Reebok eventually took over. Perhaps their biggest reason for their global expansion has been their football kits. Nike has provided jerseys for such teams as Manchester City, Manchester United, and the World Cup teams.
Boldly, they’re even started to get their feet wet in the hockey market. In 2014, they provided the Olympic hockey teams with jerseys. This is impressive, as it helped them get back into the hockey market less than a decade after abandoning it.
With their exclusive sponsorship of the NBA, the company is going to keep on growing. It’s not going away, despite the best efforts of Reebok. Even though Under Armor is quickly catching up, it will be very difficult for them to take down the kings without exclusive sponsorships. With Nike grabbing control of the soccer world and quickly expanding, they should remain the king for a very long time.
They’ve had so many jerseys over the years, it’s hard to keep track of all of them. These rankings are solely the opinion of the author. Criteria will heavily revolve around the look, uniqueness, and brand. They’ve made a lot of jerseys over the years, so picking just 30 is very difficult. Without further ado, here’s the 30 best jerseys Nike has ever made.
