Not sure if anyone else noticed this at Club Nats but I was there spectating and noticed the OTC guys were wearing grey On jackets with the OTC tree logo on them and Oregon TC on the back.
I don't think Nike is sponsoring the club anymore anyways but thought it was definitely interesting...
The Instagram post that new gem shared with the group only had Hocker with a Nike singlet. The rest were unbranded
its not even a nike singlet either. if you look at the new gen shop they are selling the unbranded singlets and you can see coles is identical minus the swoosh. its like going on customink and printing a swoosh you copied and pasted from google images
A group of guys training in Eugene that is not sponsored by Nike has no future.
Too many failed drug tests for NIKE to continue to support?
Does OTC still (own) promote, manage the Prefontaine Classic?
Like nearly all running clubs it's Mommy and Daddy who pays the bills. The rest by Walmart Supercenter, Starbucks, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Uber, ...

Are they confirmed not sponsored/supported by Nike? Does Nike not have a copyright on the name "Oregon Track Club" or their associated logo? Genuinely curious how this worked out. Did Cole ask Phil if he could make a club and it be kinda-Nike since he's clearly the headliner?
Seems like a messy attempt at trying to replicate what Tinman Elite did 4-5 years ago.
they lost to hansons brooks so who cares
