Manhattan High School athletes are receiving a significant upgrade to their uniforms next year thanks to a new five-year athletic apparel agreement with Adidas.
USD 383 school board members voted 7-0 Wednesday to approve the contract, which provides uniforms, practice gear and sideline apparel for Manhattan High School varsity athletics. The contract provides exclusive rights at MHS for varsity sports covered under the Adidas brand. In exchange, Adidas will use the MHS name and trademarks in marketing.
District officials say the deal will cover most, if not all, uniform and equipment expenses that are typically funded through school budgets and fundraising efforts.
