Georgia SB signs an on-field logo with local credit union

It's the first on-field logo at ANY Georgia athletic facility. What a novel idea!!!! Some of the highlights of the press release: "ATLANTA – Georgia's Own Credit Union, the third-largest credit union in Georgia, is announcing an expansion of its partnership with the University of Georgia (UGA) athletic program, putting an increased focus on women's sports. The centerpiece of the new agreement includes the painting of the Georgia's Own Credit Union logo outside the foul lines in the outfield at Jack Turner Softball Stadium, marking the first time a corporate partner has had an on-field logo at any UGA facility. "As we've seen through Caitlin Clark storming the WNBA and ESPN partnering with Athletes Unlimited Softball League, women's athletics are driving fan interest nationwide at never-before-seen levels," said Dave Preter, president and CEO of Georgia's Own Credit Union. "Both of those leagues rely on stars forged at the collegiate level, so we are thrilled to be making a sizable investment in one of the best women's college athletics programs in the nation." "The new agreement also makes Georgia's Own the presenting sponsor of the 2026 UGA softball team. Head Coach Tony Baldwin is entering his fifth year with the program, which drew a record 56,921 fans to Jack Turner Softball Stadium in 2025 and was just one win shy of its sixth trip to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma." "What Georgia's Own Credit Union has done here is tremendous for our program. To see softball at the center of this historic first for Georgia Athletics shows just how far the game has come and how bright the future is," said UGA Softball Head Coach Tony Baldwin. "The investment Georgia's Own is making in our team through a program-wide NIL deal not only provides awesome opportunities for our student-athletes, but it also validates the hard work, commitment, and excellence they bring to this University every day. This is a milestone moment for our program, and we're grateful to Georgia's Own for leading the way."
