Kean University Shows Off New Athletic Attire

Kean has added new athletic uniforms for their sports programs.

The University released a minute-long advertisement on their social media of new uniforms for their athletics on Sep. 10.

The ad was a video consisting of Fall sports members displaying a message from Kean Cougar athletes.

“You should always go for greatness,” was mentioned in the beginning of the video. “Because anything else is a waste of time.”

It then shifted to a message from a few different athletes themselves.

“It takes hard work, early mornings and mental discipline. It’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. We don’t step down, we climb higher, we win. We are Kean Cougars.”

President Repollet wanted to display an appreciation for student-athletes who had to experience challenges from the COVID-19 Pandemic. Kean Athletics began to have discussions surrounding new team uniforms as a thank you and welcome back to all programs.

“We usually have a four-year rotation for uniforms for each team, so we were able to have the coaches involved in some of the designs and many of them really like the Nike cut and fit , which was the determining factor,” Athletics Director, Kelly Williams said.

The idea was mainly about making students happy.

“Ultimately, I wanted our student-athletes who were away from their teammates for almost a year to be excited about returning back to camps and look good and feel good,” Willaims said.
