The University of Hawai`i Hilo athletic department announced today that it has renewed its exclusive apparel partnership with Under Armour.

The Vulcans and Under Armour just wrapped up a five-year contract, which previously was Under Armour's first shoe and apparel deal with an NCAA Division II team on the west coast.

In the new deal, the Baltimore-based company tripled the terms of what they were previously providing to the UHH athletic department.

"We have a great relationship with Under Armour and they have become an important part of the Vulcan brand," said UH Hilo athletic director Patrick Guillen. "They have added significant value to what they are providing our teams and student-athletes. We are very proud to be an Under Armour school."

The agreement between the two schools retains Under Armour as the exclusive supplier of shoes, uniforms and accessories for UH Hilo's 12 athletic teams.

"Under Armour is one of the nation's fastest growing and most respected companies in America," Guillen added. "We are excited to extend our relationship as one of the first NCAA Division II Under Armour schools in the country and provide top-of-the-line products for our student-athletes."

Under Armour has added many universities to its family of teams in the past few years, which now includes the University of Hawai`i, UCLA, Wisconsin, California, Notre Dame, Navy, Maryland, Texas Tech, Northwestern, Utah and Auburn. Under Armour also has Golden State Warrior star Stephen Curry under contract, along with baseball stars Clayton Kershaw and Bryce Harper, and NFL football star Tom Brady.
