Since 2008, Butler Athletics has partnered with Nike to officially and exclusively equip Bulldog student-athletes with footwear, apparel and equipment. Actually, that sentence should read, “Butler student-athletes and now two actual bulldogs,” with apparel and equipment.
“America’s Dog,” has backing of one of the world’s most recognizable brands as it is Nike who supplies the material for the signature Butler blue, block “B” jersey or sweater.
Once receiving material from Nike, it is actually the local Indianapolis office of the Tom James Company that takes on the delicate and sophisticated task of hand-crafting and custom-tailoring the durable Nike material into a perfect fit for Blue II and III.
The original Butler Blue Nike jersey was hand-crafted for Blue II and now hangs in the Wildman Room of Hinkle Fieldhouse as it was worn for two NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and countless other appearances and events.
