The proceeds from the men's and women's apparel pack benefits participating University of Oregon student-athletes such as star quarterback Dillon Gabriel.

The company offers unique and innovative t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, shorts, hats, sports bras and much more centered around the Oregon Ducks. They even do non-fungible tokens or NFTs. The group is powered by The Papé Family, Gearhart Golf Links, Oregon Fruit Products and Murphy.

When college athletes became eligible to benefit from their own NIL, a group of Oregon alumni and donors created the collective called Division Street. The whole point of this organization combined their experiences in branding, marketing, sponsorship, and design in order to benefit Oregon student-athletes and improve upon their NIL opportunities. This way, the student-athletes can focus in the classroom and out on the field or court.

Major names such as Pat Kilkenny, The Papé Family, Jim Morse, Ed Maletis, Rosemary St. Clair, Christie Moore, New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu and Nike co-founder Phil Knight made this release possible. They use their resources and knowledge to improve upon the financial situations of the Oregon student-athletes as well as become successful in the brand and marketing landscape.
