KU Joins Ripple with XRP on Jerseys | Wichita News

Kansas is making waves by partnering with Ripple to debut XRP patches on all Jayhawk sports uniforms this fall, blending athletics with cutting-edge finance. Beyond flashy logos, Ripple is funding tech and finance education for student-athletes and creating career pathways in the digital economy. Athletic leaders like Travis Goff and Bill Self praise the bold move as a symbol of innovation and community spirit, while Coach Leipold highlights the personal connection to Ripple’s CEO—a Kansas alum. The patch will appear only on game jerseys, matching uniform colors, and fans can add it to official jerseys at campus stores. This follows the Big 12’s Monster Energy deal, positioning KU at the forefront of sports-tech fusion. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
