Oregon Ducks Expected to Join Jersey Patch Sponsorship Trend

The Oregon Ducks are likely to join other Power Four conference teams in securing a jersey patch sponsorship deal, as several teams have already announced their own partnerships. The trend started with the Big Ten and has since spread to other conferences, including the SEC, Big 12, ACC, and independent programs.

Nike's long-term relationship with the Ducks may be seen as a reason for them not to participate in a jersey patch deal, but the mounting number of teams announcing their own deals makes it seem imminent. The potential partners for the Ducks include companies like Papé Machinery Construction, Tillamook, Flight Club, and charter partners such as Bigfoot Beverages.

The value of these partnerships varies greatly, with some teams reportedly earning millions per year. For example, Ohio State and JPMorganChase have a reported deal worth $17 million annually, while the conference-wide partnership between the Big 12 and Monster Energy is worth $20 million per year for a logo on all teams' uniforms.
