OSU + Nike N7
Oklahoma State is a proud partner with Nike and its N7 project. OSU's men's and women's basketball programs, as well as its softball team, proudly wear turquoise uniforms for select games to honor Native American and Aboriginal heritage. The color turquoise represents harmony, friendship and fellowship in the Native American culture. Along with OSU, eight other schools are participating in the initiative to highlight Native American Heritage Month.
Youth Movement
Beginning in 2015, OSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has partnered with Nike's N7 Youth Movement program to host the annual Oklahoma State Youth Movement Day to celebrate the community that is such a large part of the state's history and heritage.The goal of our event is to bring Native American youth together from across the state to celebrate culture and promote a healthy active lifestyle. N7 believes that when one generation realizes their potential, future generations can feel the impact and be much stronger for it. The Youth Movement Field Day 2019 strives to enable the 7th generation to realize their potential as athletes, students, and community leaders. This day is a celebration of the rich histories of Oklahoma's Native American tribes and empowering youth to build new friendships through sport.
N7 is Nike's long-time commitment and mission to inspire and enable two million Native American and Aboriginal youth in North America to participate in sport and physical activity. The N7 philosophy embraces the native philosophy: “In every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.”
