WACO, Texas - This fall, fans of the Baylor Bears will be able to add to their green and gold wardrobes with officially licensed merchandise carried by well-known retailer Old Navy. Officially licensed Bears merchandise will be carried in 18 Old Navy stores throughout the state of Texas, including a location in Waco and several in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Old Navy joins a fast-growing list of retailers expanding their offerings of licensed Baylor merchandise. Through aggressive brand efforts by the university and the Licensing Resource Group (LRG), Baylor's trademark management partner, Baylor merchandise can be found in numerous retailers all over the state of Texas, across the Big XII region, and beyond.

"We are very excited that Old Navy has committed to carrying our product in 18 of its stores throughout the state of Texas," said Nick Joos, executive associate athletic director for External Affairs at Baylor. "LRG has helped to create new opportunities for our brand, and we know that our fans will be impressed by the quality and design of the products carried at Old Navy."

"Baylor is one of the hottest collegiate brands in the country right now," said Lewis Hardy, president and CEO of LRG. "Creating synergies with retailers like Old Navy is just one way that we've worked with Baylor to increase brand exposure and ultimately help the university realize record royalty revenue growth."
