Nike once again is the top shoe and jersey provider in the NCAA Tournament, despite losing some of its market share from last year. Nike and its affiliated Jordan Brand outfit 40 teams for both jerseys and shoes. That is down from 47 teams last season and matches the number of schools it sponsored in '17. Meanwhile, Under Armour saw the biggest jump this year, climbing to 17 teams in this year’s tourney. UA's number represents a significant increase after dropping from 12 schools in '17 to 10 last year, after steadily climbing from six in '15. Adidas earned a slight bump from 10 schools in '18, sponsoring 11 teams this season. Despite the increase, Adidas continues to see its on-court fortunes drop as its figure for jerseys and shoes in the field this year is still down from 15 schools in '17.
