New Era, Adidas announce expanded partnership that includes Nebraska baseball
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — New Era and Adidas are expanding their partnership to all Adidas-partner schools in the Power Four conferences, equipping the schools with premium New Era on-field caps.
The collaboration started in the spring of 2025 with Texas A&M, Miami and Arizona State, and now reaches the following schools:
- University of Louisville
- NC State University
- University of Kansas
- Texas Tech University
- Indiana University
- University of Nebraska-Lincoln
- Mississippi State University
As the official on-field cap for these baseball programs, New Era will produce headwear for both athletes and fans.
“After last year’s successful launch, we’re excited to give more teams access to our premium, game-ready headwear,” said Bruce Popko, Vice President of Global Licensing & Business Development at New Era. “Designing with the athletes in mind, our caps deliver unmatched durability and will support players’ needs all season long. On their home fields and away diamonds, this collaboration will elevate each team’s look by blending adidas’ fresh take on baseball uniforms with New Era’s high-performance caps for athletes and fans.”
The players first took the field wearing their New Era caps on Feb. 13.
Each athlete will have the option to wear either the 59FIFTY® or the Low-Profile 59FIFTY® on the field, while fans can show their team pride with a range of options, including the on-field caps, 9SEVENTY® Stretch-Snap, 39THIRTY® M-Crown, 9FORTY® M-Crown, and 9TWENTY®.
All on-field caps are complete with the New Era flag and team-specified design elements.
The headwear available will feature both the New Era flag and Adidas’ three stripes.
You can buy the new hats on neweracap.com starting Tuesday.
