Director of Athletics Dr. Daryl Gross and Steiner Sports CEO Brandon Steiner, a 1981 graduate of Syracuse University, are pleased to announce "Syracuse Steiner Collectibles," a multi-faceted marketing partnership. Gross and Steiner introduced the new line on Tuesday, August 15 live on 1050 ESPN Radio at the ESPN Zone in New York City with former Syracuse University and New York Giants standout Joe Morris '82 in attendance.
"For Syracuse athletics to partner with someone like Steiner Collectibles is just unbelievable," Gross said. "Those of us who know Brandon Steiner and what he has done with Yankee Collectibles and all those other enterprises understand this is the best in collectibles. Brandon has reached out to us and we have created a partnership that will make all of our fans happy. To see how he presents memorabilia is incredible. We also want to thank Michael Veley, Director of the Syracuse Sport Management program, for getting Brandon and Syracuse Athletics together and helping us consummate this partnership. This will be a lot of fun for our fans. It will be another opportunity to enjoy Syracuse Athletics."
The first of its kind marketing relationship will provide fans of "Orange Nation" with access to Syracuse sports memorabilia and players, and will release hundreds of authenticated memorabilia from one of college sports' most historic programs. Among the authentic items available will be collector's pieces of the Carrier Dome hardwood floor from the 2003 men's basketball championship season, which will be converted into furniture and plaques, as well as basketballs, footballs and jerseys. Syracuse sport management majors will help to run Syracuse Steiner Collectibles.
Syracuse Steiner will include a wide variety marketing opportunities, including fantasy experiences such as "meet the coaches" and opening coin tosses and opening taps.
