Blake Griffin Officially Signs Sports Sponsorship Deal With Jordan Brand

Written by Mark Burns in Sports Sponsorship

On the court, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are the 1-2 punch as the face of the Los Angeles Clippers.

This past Friday, Griffin joined the elder Paul as teammates in another way by signing a sports sponsorship deal with the Jordan Brand.

During Griffin’s rookie season in 2009-10, he signed on with Nike, so the recent developments just furthers the former Oklahoma Sooner’s commitment to the brand.

Additional new members that have inked a sports sponsorship with the Jordan family include rookies Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Charlotte) and Kendall Marshall (Phoenix) along with Oklahoma City’s, Russell Westbrook. Griffin will wear the Jordan Super.Fly product for the remainder of the season.

“We are thrilled that Blake is joining the brand,” said Michael Jordan of the recent sports sponsorship deal. “Blake has captured the essence of what the brand stands for through his style of play and love for the game of basketball. He is an amazing athlete and person who we look forward to working with for many years.”
