The University of Houston announced Friday a partnership that will make Jordan Brand as the new apparel provider for the men's basketball team.

While UH will continue to be a Nike school, the men's basketball program will join a select few programs in the nation to wear the exclusive Jordan Brand, replacing the Nike trademark Swoosh for the iconic Michael Jordan dunking silhouette.

The Jordan Jumpman represents Nike's premium brand, with UH joining a small fraternity that includes men's basketball programs North Carolina, Michigan, Georgetown, Oklahoma, Florida and Marquette.
