Ohio State Selling Officially Licensed Jerseys With Names, Numbers Of Current Players

Jersey sales are just another avenue by which players can profit from their name, image and likeness.

As part of a group licensing agreement, Ohio State is now selling jerseys with names and numbers of current football players through its official retail store.

😯 you’ve been waiting years —decades even — to wear the name of your fave player on the back of your Buckeye jersey, right?

😲 Guess what?

This comes a little more than two months after the NCAA adopted a policy that allows student-athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness, as well as a month after the Buckeyes announced they would permit players to use the university’s trademarks and logos for such pursuits.

“This is a unique opportunity for our student-athletes,” senior associate athletic director Carey Hoyt said in early August. “We are passionate about educating and providing opportunities for student-athletes to take advantage of their name, image and likeness, and co-branding them with Ohio State’s official trademarks and logos is going to be an exciting new way for them to monetize on their NIL.”

Of course, only student-athletes who opted into the group licensing agreement have their names and numbers available for purchase on the drop down tab of the retail listing. Those who did not will be unavailable to the public, even as a customizable jersey option.

The jerseys are just the first part of the group licensing agreement, which hopes to provide merchandise such as apparel, bobbleheads, trading cards and video games with the name, image and likeness of current players in the future. It’s unclear what percentage of the sales the players will receive, however.
