Dogs Take Flight - Brownsburg Football

By Keelen Barlow

BSN Sports, NIKE and the Brownsburg High School Athletic Department have agreed on a landmark partnership that will make the Brownsburg Football program one of a few teams in the nation to represent Jordan Brand on the gridiron.

Brownsburg high school's partnership with BSN will include the varsity football program. The Bulldogs will add a Jordan-brand uniform for the 2020 high school football season- which will join the program's current rotation of Nike uniforms.

The Bulldogs will be one of a select few football programs in the nation to wear the Jumpman logo. BSN and NIKE are partnering with only a few hundred programs in the nation to bring the Jumpman logo to the high school football field. At the collegiate level there are just four programs that wear the Jumpman. Brownsburg High School joins the University of Florida, University of Michigan, University of North Carolina and Oklahoma University on the list of schools which represent the brand.

The Brownsburg football program has a long-standing history of greatness on the field. The Bulldogs have won a pair of IHSAA State Championships and five Hoosier Crossroads Conference Championships during the program's history. Additionally, former Bulldog Hunter Johnson was named IndyStar Mr. Football in 2016

For the time being Brownsburg High School's remaining varsity sports will still wear Nike branded uniforms.

Brownsburg x Jordan apperal will go live this week via a BSN Sports Shop. 

BROWNSBURG ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DREW TOWER:

"It's often stated, you are who you associate with. Our partnership with the Jordan Brand associates our student athletes, coaches, and fans with excellence. This was a decision based on the tradition and pride of the Brownsburg Football program. This is for the former players and coaches who have come before and laid the foundation. This is about the Brownsburg community and fans on Friday nights at Roark Stadium. This is an investment in our future. This is about relentlessly pursuing excellence in everything we do. The Brownsburg and Jordan partnership is bigger than a brand, it's a lifestyle."

BROWNSBURG HEAD FOOTBALL COACH JOHN HART:

"When we had the opportunity to join the Jumpman family I was as excited as I could be outside of winning a State Championship. This is a different arena than self-advertisement because joining the Jumpman family is like a standard. Now we have to produce."

BSN SPORTS REPRESENTATIVE BOB KIZER:

"When I looked at who in Indiana deserved the opportunity to partner with Jordan I looked at 3 things. 1)  Success both in the past and expected in the future.  2) Who has supported Nike and BSN Sports at a high level. 3) Who will represent Jordan with class on and off the field. It was a short list and Brownsburg was an obvious choice." 

NIKE REPRESENTATIVE STEVE FILIPIAK: 

"When we looked at a brand like Jordan, Brownsburg football set it up perfectly for us. Choosing Brownsburg to be a part of this program was an easy selection for us because Brownsburg has been commited to partnering with NIKE for quite a while and this is the benefit of doing such."
