ECU & Fanatics Team Up For Customization Opportunities

GREENVILLE, N.C. – Fanatics and OneTeam have partnered with the East Carolina Pirates for an opportunity that will allow student-athletes to earn compensation from combining official university trademarks with their name, image and likeness (NIL) starting Friday, Oct. 14.

Athletes will have the opportunity to have personalized t-shirts and hoodies with their name and number sold through the Pirate Sport shop and Fanatics.com. This marks the inaugural launch of the Fanatics NIL tee and fleece program reserved for select partner institutions around the country.

Fall sports consisting of women's soccer and women's volleyball will jumpstart the program, while winter and spring sports such as men's and women's basketball, baseball and softball will all be onboarded in a phased approach throughout the year.
