This may be false, but I heard Nike wouldn't allow us to use Easton baseball bats so we went with Russell Athletic unis.


I always wondered why LSU never wore Nike baseball uniforms and this makes perfect sense. Hope they stick with Russel and Easton. Its proven to be a winning combo.

Word on the street is that PM wants to go to Nike everything, but the Nike bats suck. He doesn't like using four different suppliers for various things such as hats, shoes, uniforms.

I'm pretty sure that LSU baseball signed a 3 year deal with Russell for uniforms and this is the 3rd year. In the past, Nike wasn't interested in doing every sport at LSU, but that changed a couple of years ago. I think baseball will go with Nike next year, once the Russell deal is over. I was told this last year, so I'll check to see if this is still the case.

Years ago, Jeff Boss told me that Nike had the sports at LSU that they wanted (football and track). They wound up adding men's and women's basketball, but not with some huge deal.
