GENEVA, N.Y.—The Hobart and William Smith Colleges Athletics Departments recently announced a five-year partnership agreement with ADPRO Sports and Under Armour. Beginning in the fall, all Statesmen and Heron teams will wear Under Armour apparel supplied by ADPRO Sports.
 
The agreement is a continuation for both departments of a partnership with ADPRO Sports that began in 2016, while William Smith is now joining Hobart in wearing Under Armour for athletic uniforms, team apparel, and footwear. ADPRO Sports also renewed its commitment to supporting the Block H Awards Dinner, Hobart Senior Golf Outing, the Heron Peak Performance Plan and the Heron Senior Brunch.
 
"Our partnership with ADPRO Sports has been outstanding," says Deb Steward, William Smith Director of Athletics. "They're committed to supporting our student-athletes in their pursuit of success and the quality and reliability of their services make them a leader in the industry.
 
"William Smith looks forward to a partnership with Under Armour. Their vision is 'to inspire you with performance solutions you never knew you needed and can't imagine living without.' This vision is inclusive of products designed by and provided for women. In addition, they are committed to diversity, inclusion and sustainability which aligns with our Heron values."
 
"Hobart Athletics is extremely excited to continue our relationship with our good friends at ADPRO Sports," says Brian Miller, interim director of Hobart Athletics. "We're also happy to have William Smith join us in outfitting our student-athletes and staff with a quality product like Under Armour. It is a win-win for us all."
 
Headquartered in a state-of-the-art, 88,000-square-foot facility in Buffalo, ADPRO Sports is an industry leader in producing athletic gear and custom sports uniforms. It is an NFL licensee and carries many world-class athletic and corporate brands, including Under Armour team apparel.

"Deb and Brian, along with their outstanding group of coaches and administrators, are committed to providing student-athletes with an exceptional experience that develops mind, body and spirit. We look forward to celebrating their successes on the field, in the classroom, and throughout the community. It is our goal to help make the Statesmen and Heron athletic teams more successful than ever by bringing the campus all that Under Armour has to offer."
