## Resource

When a player’s jersey ripped mid-game during the Big Ten Tournament, Alec Puffenberger swooped in with a backup—literally pulling out a fresh jersey from his bag to save the day. As associate director of equipment, he’s always prepared, carrying three spare jerseys just in case. Behind the scenes, the equipment team handles everything from helmet fittings to uniform design, collaborating with Nike and the Big Ten to craft championship-ready gear months in advance. They travel with teams, pack gear, and even run custom laundry routines to keep uniforms pristine. Even with meticulous planning, mishaps happen—but thanks to heroes like Puffenberger, the game never stops. And they’re already designing the next generation of uniforms for 2027.
