Jamestown (Knight Club) \u2013\u00a0Orriginals, the custom apparel embroidery & screen printing business in downtown Jamestown, has announced that it has secured the rights to use Mason Walters\u2019 \u201cname, image and likeness\u201d on all clothing brands offered by the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walters is a two-time NAIA First Team All-American and the only University of Jamestown basketball player in history to earn back-to-back first team selections. He will also serve as a \u201cpromotional ambassador\u201d for Orriginals under the agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Len and Penny Orr of Jamestown have owned and operated Orriginals since 1990. The business was recently acquired by their son Brent Giesler (Danielle). Orriginals is a proud sponsor of Jimmie Athletics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Penny Orr says, \u201cAs a native of Jamestown and a man of integrity, Mason Walters is a perfect fit for us. Now, Jimmie fans and the entire community can purchase apparel featuring a player we know and love. We plan to be a big part of promoting Mason\u2019s brand as he takes to the court again this Fall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walters says, \u201cOrriginals is the kind of company I am proud to be affiliated with. Superior people who provide superior customer service and high-quality clothing. They are also a community-minded company which was very important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Orriginals agreement with Walters was facilitated by The Knight Club, the new non-profit \u201cNIL Collective\u201d that has been formed to assist student-athletes at the University of Jamestown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision (NCAA v. Alston 2021) last year gave student-athletes the rights (\u201cNIL rights\u201d) to market their name, image and likeness to businesses and charitable organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
