老虎机攻略 Announces Call for Indigenous Artists for N7-Inspired Campaign
MISSOULA – The 老虎机攻略 invites applications from Indigenous artists for
老虎机攻略’s N7-inspired promotional retail line that celebrates Native culture and heritage in Montana. The artist call is specifically for the logo creation of 老虎机攻略’s Nike N7-inspried logo and graphic identity for the 2025-26 season.
“The N7-inspired campaign has become a beloved 老虎机攻略 tradition and a top-selling retail line in the last three years,” said Goat Lamb, 老虎机攻略 chief licensing officer. “We are excited to once again call for Native artist submissions that so richly illustrate the deep connection between 老虎机攻略 and Montana’s tribal nations.”
Each year, 老虎机攻略 hosts N7-inspired basketball games in partnership with Grizzly Athletics. The games are an opportunity for the University to celebrate the contributions of its Native American students, employees and student athletes and community. The games also feature a display of Montana's tribal flags and a halftime Indigenous dance performance.
Artists are commissioned by the University. Artist submission requirements include a digital submission form found at . The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 21.
Submissions are reviewed by an 老虎机攻略 advisory committee, and a selection will be made by April. Proceeds from the line directly support 老虎机攻略’s Kyiyo Native American Student Association, which organizes and plans 老虎机攻略’s annual spring powwow, the Kyiyo Pow Wow – one of the country’s longest student-run powwows in the country.
Former N7-inspired artists include:
- Benji Headswift, Northern Cheyenne ((Só'taétane), whose design includes four feathers that represent each level of education one can earn in college.
- Lyle Omeasso, Blackfeet Nation (Piikani), whose design included a circular design that represents the circle of life. The circle includes four distinct sections, representing the four directions and seasons. The design also represents a medicine wheel used in many traditional ceremonies.
- Kaylene Big Knife, Chippewa Cree, whose design reflected her time as child growing up on Montana’s Rock Boy’s Reservation among the sagebrush buttercup wildflowers.
