STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Stony Brook Athletics, in conjunction with Van Wagner, announced a transformative partnership with Bulovas Restorations as Stony Brook's jersey patch partner. With this announcement, Stony Brook becomes the first known institution in New York to formalize a uniform patch sponsorship.

The three-year agreement is a significant landmark moment in Stony Brook Athletics' history, introducing the department's first jersey patch partner. It also establishes Stony Brook as the first FCS football and CAA program to announce a jersey patch partnership.

"Our objective is to boldly pursue pathways that place Stony Brook at the forefront of the evolving NCAA landscape, and the alliance with Bulovas Restorations is a tremendous step forward in that endeavor," Stony Brook Director of Athletics Shawn Heilbron said. "At a time when growing revenue is increasingly urgent, this historic partnership represents a significant investment in Stony Brook Athletics and our student-athletes. I am extremely grateful to Rory Bulovas for his belief in our mission and look forward to seeing our Seawolves compete while wearing the Bulovas Restorations patch on their jerseys."

Bulovas Restorations will have the rights to a jersey patch on the uniforms for Stony Brook's football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's lacrosse, baseball, softball and volleyball programs, beginning during the 2026-27 season.

"We are thrilled to be the official jersey patch partner of Stony Brook Athletics with this first-of-its-kind sponsorship. This partnership perfectly aligns with our shared commitment to excellence, resilience and community impact, and I couldn't be more excited to expand our brand through one of New York's premier athletic programs," said Rory Bulovas, President of Bulovas Restorations. "From the day I launched the company at 21, building meaningful relationships and giving back has been at our core, and this collaboration takes that mission to a whole new level. We couldn't be prouder to join the Seawolves family."
