OK-State Athletics Sports Osage Nation Patch
Sports fans across the country are going to see Oklahoma State and the Osage Nation linked together starting this fall.
OK-State’s athletic teams will sport an Osage patch on all of their sports jerseys for the upcoming season.
In a press release yesterday the university said it is, “Partnering in a landmark collaboration that celebrates a shared commitment to education, land, and the future of Oklahoma. As part of the partnership, uniforms for all Oklahoma State University athletic teams will feature an Osage jersey patch beginning with the 2026-27 competition season. The relationship builds on years of collaboration between the Osage Nation and Oklahoma State University.”
Here is an excerpt from a promotional video OSU put out.
The audio from the first part of that clip is from Osage Nation Principal Chief-Elect Joe Tillman.
Tillman attended Oklahoma State on a football scholarship and played for the Cowboys from 1978 to 1981. In the release he said, “The collaboration reflects the strong ties between two institutions dedicated to responsible stewardship of land and investing in future generations.”
