Oklahoma Football Becomes Third Program in Country to Join Jordan Brand

The University of Oklahoma became the third college football program to represent Jordan Brand when it announced the partnership Thursday.

The partnership will start the 2018-2019 season, and it will also include the men's and women's basketball teams. The women's basketball team is also only the third in the country to wear the Jumpman logo, while the men's team is the fifth in the country.

Sooners alum and NBA star Blake Griffin returned to campus to help announce the partnership. Griffin represents Jordan Brand and was named the AP National Player of the Year in 2008-2009 after averaging 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds per game.

Only a select few get to wear @Jumpman23.
