Oh I’ve got a guess, is it Lululemon??!!
Guessing “Nick Symmonds apparel.”
Why advertise for someone else when you can advertise for yourself?
I think Nick signed with Lululemon
Interesting how things have changed over the past 40+ years. While I was a XC Skier I was sponsored by Trade Teams, much like Pro Cycling is structured. So my first contract in 1977 was with Edsbydn out of Sweden, then a disastrous 6 months with K2/Nike before they let me out my contract just before Winter Olympic Trials in 1980 then signing with Kneissl/Adidas and making the team and staying with them until I retired in 1988. Like you I had a couple awkward moments as K2 and Nike were sponsors of the 1980 Winter Olympics so I had to do promotional photos with their gear and I was supposed to wear Nike shoes around the village (but for some reason the treads came off and I used my Adidas shoes)
So like you I was not directly signed to a company, but was signed to a Team the was in turn sponsored by certain suppliers. it was always fun learning all the names of the teams sponsors at preseason camps so that I could do Interviews and get their names correct. The final team I was with was shortened to Kneissl/Adidas but the official name was the Kneissl, Adidas, Exel Sylntia, Decente, Lifa/Helly Hanson, Descente, Cycles Peugeot, Subaru Ski team. No matter what the question asked I could get a few of those names into an answer.
It's so cool that you got Ashton Eaton on the channel!!
he is the GREATEST!!!!
True
It's so amazing you're making these insightful content. Idk how else I will ever understand these things without u
My guess is Barbell apparel. Can't wait for the next video!
I like the format and the good information.
I always seem to here good things when it comes to working with brooks, Josh kerr, Des linden and now Nick. Seems like they're very dedicated to providing the best to their runners
Thanks Nick!🦬
Captain Tom! Lmao he is so op.. can’t wait to watch it.. the suspense on the company is crazy
Thank you!
Could be barbell apparel, he’s got the sleeves rolled up where there logo usually sits
hey Nick! Me and my family love watching your videos!
Thank you for watching!!
also, I think nick has partnered with nobull!
Thank You for this video Brother. I am working on becoming sponsored as an Ultra Marathon Runner. It is not my focus, if it come it comes, but I primarily definitely just enjoy running and staying in shape as I age.
I am also going to keep an eye out for companies with contracts that are “reduced fees”.
Blessings.
Hey Nick! There Is a company called dstormapparel me and my friend are currently friends with. They have really nice workout fits for everyone. But awesome videos cant wait for Saturday!!!!!
Is the new sponsor Victoria's Secret?
lmao!!
cant wait to see who you’re partnered up with!
Nick signed with dez nuts 😂 got em
Can you make a video of all of UA-cam 800m races
LOL those pole vault clips!!!! My guess Under Armor.
I seriously almost hurt myself BAD doing the pole vault
Hey Nick the Free Run Gum link in your video description doesn’t work
I bet he’s adding an apparel line with rungum 👀
Ten Thousand Apparel? Top looks dope though!
barbell apparel. Probably wearing 'Havok Long Sleeve'
Gotta be Lululemon!!!
Oh I’ve got a guess, is it Lululemon??!!
Hi Nick how long should I take off after the end of the outdoor season?
Hi Henry
69 months
2 weeks that’s how long I usually take off
2 weeks
Ok
what wouldve happened if you'd refused to wear the nike gear in 2012? would they have kicked you off the olympic team? i remember there was a stink about this with the first dream team - i think the USOC was sponsored by reebok but jordan and the like were of course with nike. they reached some compromise but that's Michael mf'n jordan.
yes, if you refuse to wear the team kit you get kicked off the team
Gotta be lululemon
Is the apparal company " Run Gum" lol
Guessing REI or Eastbay
Imagine he just partnered with rungum
Nick, so if I make the the USATF team I will have to wear nike clothing even if I am not sponsored by them?
Can I just wear clothing with no brand, like plain sports clothing, a white tshirt and shorts and a plain sprinting spike?
I saw him respond to another comment and he said if you refuse to wear the team kit, you get kicked off the team.
@@annabellebeloiu9691 well that is not nice isn't it ? It is literally coercion.
Lulu? Ie, logo on the back of the shirt
1st phorm?
1000th like :)
I know Brooks is not a growth investment for Warren Bufett and Berkshire Hathaway but kinda ironic that they are getting oustpent by other shoe companies when they are actually apart of a company that has 7 times the revenue of Nike and more than all shoe companies combined
I do 200,400 and 800m I really need your help
He said he was wearing the new company’s clothes, and he made a video not too long ago about how he doesn’t work at run gum anymore. All I’m saying is that he was wearing a run gum hat…
Interesting fact, in my Gymshark contract (and in this new contract) I kept a carve our that my hat/headband can always be Run Gum. Even though I no longer work for the company, I am still the Founder and President of it!
Decathlon! 😂 you said decathlon so many times.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was LuLu! 😄
Did you have to switch to Brooks Shoes when you Signed the contract?
yep!
@@NickSymmondsToo Did it bother you at all? Or was the switch easy? Seems pretty Hard not to blame the shoes when you think you ran better before, for example
Only the best tho. You already know brooks is way better than nike
Hi
i think you should make a video about the obsessive and excessive nature of running /training life and when to set your expectations realistically... for any ex college runners / semi pros.... because its a big use of energy/time... and what to do when you can place in local/state races but nothing near professional... not even state usatf standings just state popular races... how to mitigate training addiction... but still keep some training goals... if you can even relate... bc most wont reach your level.... thats the truth.... so what do you think is good standards and how to control this life.... track clubs etc.... / what is the correct training /work/life balance do you think...
relateable to alot of ex college / semi pro runners
i mean i can write this video for you: you can train 70 mi week with wo's or less and still have good running goals...
and if you keep at it in your 30s you can have a good half/full
When you made a US team while partnered with Brooks, did you have to wear Nike spikes when racing for team USA?
Don’t quote me on this, but I’m pretty sure from what I remember of the article it was just the uniform.
They have to wear the singlet for example but not the spikes!
He had a pair of spikes that Brooke’s let him have some say in the design of it
No, you can still wear whatever shoes you want to
huh i don’t know tbh
Essentials?
What can I do to get sponsored by run gum?
you need a big channel
Hey nick!
hello!!
Bylt Basics?
I think it’s fabletics….I might be wrong
I'm guessing that you are gonna get sponsored by run gum😉
New Balance? UnderArmour does not make this color. Unless it is for you specifically.
All I know is Tom beats you. He has old man strength 💪.
Uniclo????!!!!!!
@Nick
Lululemon.
Looks like BSN
Lululemon
I have a friend who is a professional MMA fighter with 10k followers on IG.
Where is the best place to find sponsors these days? Is there a platform that connects brands with athletes?
have them take a look at OpenSponsorship.com
Can you not get sponsored by more then one company ?
Did you partner with Rungum in your new contract? If so, that's kinda dumb
he owns the company.well,used to own.
Gonna guess YoungLA
Brady
We all know the new company is gonna be Run Gum 🏃♀️ 🙃

I want to be Nike sponsored athlete
under armor?
No, I have not seen this color in UnderArmour

Congratulations on the KFC Sponsorship Nick!

Could you Have lived out your life with the money you made strictly from Running?
yes, if I lived very frugally. I was a very good saver/investor of the money I made running
You better give Captain Tom some swag, he is a huge draw to the channel. Just out there competing with an Olympic level athlete as a working dad.
lululemon nick 😂
It’s gotta be Lulu Lemon
Nah I guess Nick is not partnered with anybody but he created his own apparel company.
please dont be under armour😂
