SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo University Department of Athletics has announced a new five-year agreement with adidas as the official brand of the Lions' athletics teams.
 
Saint Leo, who finished fourth in the 2018 Learfield Directors' Cup, fields 21 intercollegiate teams and two cheerleading squads. Under this partnership, adidas will serve as the primary footwear, apparel, uniform, and accessory supplier for Lions' athletics. The agreement, signed earlier this month, includes numerous incentives in the form of discounts and rewards along with incentives for on-field achievements.
 
"Rob Van Brocklin of adidas and Dan Girata of The Sports Section really put together an exceptional package to keep our athletes wearing the three stripes." Saint Leo Vice President and Director of Athletics Francis X. Reidy stated. "We have enjoyed tremendous success wearing their innovative and high performing products. We are excited our partnership will continue for another five years."
 
While donning the adidas brand, the Lions have won one national title, two individual national championships, earned two national runners-up bids, and three national semifinalists. Saint Leo has finished in top-10 of the Learfield Directors' Cup in three of the past four years including a best finish of second place in 2015-16. The Lions saw 80 student-athletes earn All-America status with 23 Honorable Mention All-America, and 21 CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.
