The Kent State University Bookstore is your number one spot for Kent State Sideline Gear.
The bookstore's officially licensed Nike Sideline Gear collection features a variety of apparel items regularly worn by Kent State's athletes and coaches. The Nike Sideline collection has never before been available to Kent State fans.
"I've been asked on several occasions over the last three years about being able to purchase what our coaches or administrators are wearing on the sideline on gamedays," said Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen. "This will be the first year that I can factually respond and tell them they can go to the bookstore and purchase that same gear.
"Nike puts out a great product, and they have been very supportive of our entire program, and especially football and men's basketball. I know our fans are going to be really excited about the quality of the product and the look of the product. I want to thank the bookstore for continuing to push that point about our being offer a line of Sideline gear."
Nike only allows select schools to make their Sideline collection available to fans and the general public.
"We are grateful to be included in a select group of collegiate programs outfitted exclusively by Nike," said Deputy Athletic Director Devin Crosby. "Our Nike Sideline apparel offerings will enable everyone connected with Kent State to wear what our football coaches wear. We appreciate the close relationship with Nike."
Popular items include Golden Flashes shorts, jackets, warm ups and more. You can shop sideline items and other spirit merchandise in-store in the Team Shop, and online by visiting kentstatesports.com, and in the bookstore's Stadium Shop on game days. Be sure to have your Golden Flashes gear ready for this season's kick off on August 29th.
