“It is a little outside of the box for us, but it's for such a great and important initiative,” Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson said. “I came to this because I was looking for something to support. Everyone's out there, and this is no slight to the Coaches vs. Cancer or many of the other things that are out there, but I wanted something that was meaningful given my heritage of being an American and being an African American, and wanting to embrace that ethos of looking back and learning from your past and moving forward and adding to the footprint.”
OSU sophomore Joe Burton and senior Calvin Haynes joined Coach Robinson and Sam McCracken for the unveiling, appearing in the Nov. 21 turquoise uniforms, complete with Nike N7 HyperDunks, which will be for sale as part of the Nike N7 Holiday collection beginning Nov. 18 at stores across North America. Burton, who joined the team in 2009, is the first member of his tribe, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, to earn a full athletic scholarship to a major university in the reservation's 127-year history.
Fans can also receive half-price admission to the Oregon State volleyball game against UCLA at noon on Nov. 21 and receive a Nike N7 t-shirt by showing their men's basketball ticket against Texas Southern.
The first 500 fans to enter Gill Coliseum for the men's basketball game against Texas Southern will receive a free Nike N7 t-shirt and the first 1,000 Oregon State students who enter through the student entrance at Gill Coliseum will also receive a free Nike N7t-shirt.
