UM-Dearborn Basketball and Olympian Mortgage Announce Multi-Year Jersey Patch Partnership
Olympian Mortgage will serve as the official jersey sponsor of the UM-Dearborn basketball teams through the 2027-28 season.
DEARBORN, Mich. – The University of Michigan-Dearborn basketball teams and Olympian Mortgage announced a historic multi-year partnership, making Olympian Mortgage the exclusive jersey sponsor of the University of Michigan-Dearborn basketball teams.
UM-Dearborn joins a select group of NAIA schools that have announced jersey patch sponsorships following the NAIA's passage of legislation in April 2024, which permits the use of sponsor logos on uniforms during competition.
"We are incredibly grateful that Olympian Mortgage has chosen to invest in enhancing our student-athlete experience and aligning their brand with the University of Michigan-Dearborn basketball," said men's basketball head coach Mo Bazzi. "This commitment goes beyond the logo – it directly impacts our student-athletes' experience and shows our players that the community believes in what we are building."
