The Indiana Pacers and Lucas Oil have entered into a new multi-year jersey patch partnership.
The Indianapolis-based automotive product company’s logo will be prominently featured on Pacers uniforms beginning Thursday when the team tips off NBA Summer League 2025 games in Las Vegas.
“Lucas Oil is a true Indiana success story and a brand that has long stood for performance, innovation and community,” said CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment Mel Raines. “We are thrilled to take our partnership to the next level and bring their name to the front of our jerseys. As we continue to grow our team’s global presence, we’re excited to help elevate Lucas Oil’s visibility on the world’s stage and to our passionate international fanbase.”
“Our expanded partnership with the Indiana Pacers marks an exciting new chapter in a relationship built on shared vision, trust and outstanding results,” said Lucas Oil CEO Morgan Lucas. “This isn’t just the renewal of a contract — it’s a commitment to building on the momentum of an unforgettable Pacers season and creating new opportunities together. Through this collaboration, Lucas Oil will connect with one of the most passionate and loyal fan bases in professional sports, fueling growth, and delivering bold, innovative experiences for fans in Indiana and around the world.”
As part of the agreement, a portion of proceeds from every Pacers jersey sold will be donated to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis in support of critical care and services for children and families across Indiana.
The expanded partnership also includes Lucas Oil’s designation as the “Official Oil Partner” of the Pacers as well as branding on practice jerseys, international marketing rights, group player rights, and in-arena signage and branding.
Additionally, the agreement features continued support of the Pacers Foundation’s community initiatives, premium hospitality experiences, and the ongoing title sponsorship of Lucas Oil Family Nights, which provide fans with unbeatable value on game-day favorites like a hot dog, chips and a drink.
Lucas Oil will also continue its partnership with the Indiana Fever as part of the company’s commitment to supporting Indiana basketball.
