Bryce Harper Declares Apparel Free Agency as Under Armour Deal Lapses

Harper's comment signals active negotiations over his next equipment deal.

Overview

  • In a TikTok reply, the Phillies star said he is a "free agent in the apparel/footwear category right now."
  • A source said his Under Armour contract has expired and talks are underway on a new equipment agreement; the company declined to comment.
  • Harper was seen taking batting practice in Travis Scott Air Jordan Nike shoes, a departure from his usual Under Armour gear.
  • Harper has been aligned with Under Armour since 2011, including a 10-year extension in 2016 that produced his signature cleats.
  • The development follows Under Armour's recent split with Stephen Curry and business headwinds, even as Fairfax boosted its stake and a final Curry 13 shoe is scheduled for February.
