Improvements in
2010-2011
The Equipment Room is constantly striving to improve itself. In 2010-2011 a uniform tracking system was put in affect. Towels were color-coded per sport for accountability purposes. New storage facilities were added for the increase in equipment demands. The “side order” system was put into affect.
Moving Forward in 2011-2012
In an effort to keep improving, the Equipment Room is looking forward to purchasing inventory management software. This software will make keeping inventory and distributing equipment more efficient and accurate. The E.R. plans to establish an online store for purchasing apparel, re-sign an agreement with Nike and continue uniformity and the branding of Adelphi athletics. The equipment room will be under new management as of the Fall 2011 sports season.

LRG
In April of 2010, Adelphi partnered with the Licensing Resource Group (LRG), to aid in logo branding, management, licensing and enforcement. Beginning September of 2010, vendor enrollment/enforcement went in full effect. The Equipment Room serves as a liaison with LRG to the athletic department in hopes of making the licensing process clearer for it’s student-athletes and administrators. In addition to providing student-athletes with approved apparel for on field use, the Equipment Room also established a “side order” system for coaches and student-athletes to take advantage of. A once per season order, a coach or team representative can pick out items to be purchased by the team, which are paid for by the individuals. All items are properly branded and handled by a LRG vendor.
