The Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats will remain decked out in Adidas gear for the foreseeable future as the Department of Athletics has announced that its exclusive apparel contract has been renewed through 2026.

Adidas will continue to equip Bearcat athletics along with more than 100 other collegiate programs in all NCAA divisions across the country. The athletics apparel company also has marketing agreements with the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and MLS.

MB2 Sports, out of the Kansas City area, will service the contract and provide support to Bearcat athletics. Mike Maslowski, Billy Baber and Mikey Karleskint will serve as the liaisons for MB2 Sports to the Northwest athletics department.

"MB2 Sports, as an Elite 3 Stripe Dealer, could not be more excited to continue our partnership with this exceptional NCAA Division II program," Maslowski said. "We look forward to outfitting Northwest Missouri State athletics and seeing our products in championship games for years to come."

The agreement with Adidas and MB2 Sports helps Northwest athletics continue the tradition of excellence and quality the University offers student-athletes.

"Bearcat athletics is thrilled to continue its deal with Adidas," Northwest Director of Athletics Andy Peterson said. "Partnering with the Adidas brand allows Northwest to continue its commitment to excellence and provide a stellar student-athlete experience. Mike, Billy and Mikey from MB2 Sports have been and will continue to be tremendous partners for our coaches, staff and student-athletes."
