Lee University has taken another step forward in promoting the brand of the athletic department.

The fast-forward movement began when Lee athletics gained full membership in NCAA Division II and the Gulf South Conference in 2015. This past school year the athletic department entered into an agreement with BSN and NIKE. BSN is the No. 1 sporting goods supplier in the United States while NIKE leads the way in athletic apparel.

With an agreement with BSN and Nike in hand, the university was prepared to join with the Campus Bookstore and Advanced Online, a Follett Company, to offer an online service for those wishing to purchase the Lee apparel and gear. The apparel will also be available at Lee's Campus Book Store.
 
Marshall, University of Pennsylvania and SMU are a few of several Division I athletic programs that use Advanced Online.
 
On Friday, Sept. 2 the SHOP opens. Ordering the apparel and gear will be as easy as a couple of clicks on your computer. Login to goleeflames.com and the SHOP icon is located on the top, right side of the page. Click on the icon and begin ordering the exclusive Nike and Lee University athletic apparel and gear.
 
"We are excited about the opportunity our alumni and fans now have to purchase official Lee apparel online," Lee Athletic Director Larry Carpenter commented. "After signing an exclusive deal with Nike, this is an easy way for everyone to pick up their Nike gear."
