The University of Hawaiʻi Manoa Bookstore announced the launch of a new NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) store that will feature officially licensed UH merchandise that is customized for each participating student-athlete. The NIL store, powered by Athletic Solutions, gives athletes the opportunity to open and promote their own online store. Fans will be able to browse and purchase these items and directly support their favorite athletes.
With every purchase, UH athletes receive direct payments from the sale of their merchandise.
Athletic Solutions works with student-athletes at universities and colleges around the country. It has online stores at more than 170 campuses.
“We’re excited to partner with Athletic Solutions and offer our athletes a store where their fans, family and friends can shop for their customized merchandise that directly support them,” said UH Bookstore Director Tricia Ejima-Zane.
“This partnership between Athletic Solutions and the UH Bookstore will empower our student-athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness while strengthening the Hawaiʻi brand,” said UH Athletics Director Craig Angelos.
The NIL stores will offer more than 150 different styles including headwear, tees, fleece and accessories from various brands in the collegiate space, all with the specific student-athletes name, image and likeness represented. The offerings of colors, styles and graphics are almost unlimited.
Athletic Solutions is proud to partner with the University of Hawaiʻi. To visit the University of Hawaiʻi NIL Shop log on to: https://hzone.athsolutions.shop
