“adidas has this perfect fusion of sports and culture and I’m excited to be a part of the adidas family,” said Rosen. “I really felt this was the perfect fit for me. adidas challenges the status quo and they seek to inspire others to create on and off the field.”

Rosen has been a big advocate for the preservation of the environment and protecting the oceans has become a passion for Rosen.

"In 2015, adidas announced a partnership with Parley for the Oceans, an environmental organization dedicated to raising awareness about the beauty and fragility of the oceans and to collaborating on projects that can end their destruction. Since then, adidas has supported Parley in both its educations and communication programs, whilst pioneering creative eco-innovations like Parley Ocean Plasticâ and transforming it into high-performance sportswear. In 2017 adidas sold over one million pairs of shoes made from reclaimed ocean plastics. Each pair of adidas x Parley shoes prevents approximately 11 plastic bottles from the possibility of entering our oceans." - adidas

“I have a lot of admiration for adidas partnering with Parley to both raise awareness for the preservation of our oceans and to help create a solution to affect positive change,” said Rosen. “In addition to partnering with adidas on the field, I just knew that this was something I had to be a part of off the field.”

The 425,000 square feet facility will be home to not only football but 5 other varsity teams and will serve as the hub for the department’s administration, medical care and academic services and also host intramurals and campus events.

New Clemson Football Cleats

Clemson just took a trip to Nike's Headquarters to check out some of the new gear for the upcoming season. The Tigers are getting some new cleats and here is a look at them. The team is one of Nikes top teams which allows them the best treatment when getting decked out in the check. The cleats will range from all of Nike's newest cleats for each position but this year we will see the cleats have a closer tie to Clemson. The Tiger Paw will be on the tongue or front of each cleat as well as the wordmark Clemson along the back. The bottom of the cleats will catch the eye of fans and opponents as the faded purple to orange chrome catches the sun. Here is the look for the base white cleats but we are sure Clemson will add a few more options to their arsenal.
