"NIKE is synonymous with high quality, classic designs, and a championship pedigree, and that is what we strive for in our student-athletes both in their sport of competition and in aspects of their life," said SHP Athletic Director, Larry Baggitt H’18. "This opportunity to partner with NIKE and continue our strong relationship with BSN SPORTS, the leaders in the sports apparel industry, will only help to enhance the experience we are able to provide for our student-athletes, families, fans, and alumni. We are excited to enter into this partnership and continue to grow the success of our athletic department. Initial feedback from our student-athletes indicates they are ecstatic that they will be outfitted in NIKE going forward. We have a strategic plan to get all of our varsity programs in NIKE while maintaining a reasonable budget with our existing uniforms."
 
The partnership with BSN SPORTS and NIKE takes effect as the Pirates continue to compete in the highest echelon of high school sports. Seton Hall Prep teams are regularly recognized in the NJ.com Top 20 in their respective sports and compete in some of the most elite conferences in the state of New Jersey. The 2024-2025 school year saw The Prep capture a state title and national ranking in soccer and bowling, state finals appearances in lacrosse, a state semifinal berth in football, a record number of wrestlers compete in the state finals, and conference and/or county championships in cross country, bowling, swimming, baseball, golf, lacrosse, track & field, soccer, and wrestling.
