The University of Illinois Springfield athletics department has announced that earlier this month, it signed a deal with BoxOutSports to handle its graphics needs for the 2018-19 school year.

BoxOutSports is one of the top sports graphics companies for colleges in the United States. Among its clients are Notre Dame, Ohio State, Villanova, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Colorado, and Boston College. In the state of Illinois, other clients include NCAA Division I schools DePaul, Illinois State, Eastern Illinois, and SIU-Carbondale, and several NCAA Division II programs are now signing up with the company including GLVC members Drury and Truman.

With BoxOutSports, the UIS athletics department has over 100 templates to help promote its athletic teams, plus over 10 templates that can support video and motion. The graphics package will help the Prairie Stars present a consistent look and feel to their brand throughout the year on its website and social media channels. The BoxOutSports platform is also easy-to-use, as graphics are usually created in just minutes, and can be created on computers, tablets, and mobile phones.

UIS athletics began using the graphics at the recent Capital Classic Volleyball Tournament, and will continue throughout the upcoming sports seasons.
