7.29.26 | Football
PHILADELPHIA – Temple University Athletics has announced a new multi-year partnership with Grungo Law, with the personal injury law firm becoming the Official Jersey Patch Partner of Temple Football.
Beginning with the forthcoming 2026 season, the Grungo Law logo will appear on the game and practice jerseys worn by Temple Football student-athletes, marking the first jersey patch partnership in Temple Football history and making Grungo Law the first law firm to appear on a Division I collegiate jersey and the first corporate partner to appear on a Division I collegiate football jersey in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. The collaboration also includes additional branding opportunities, fan engagement initiatives and a shared commitment to supporting the Temple community.
"Our partnership with Grungo Law represents another exciting step in the continued growth of Temple Athletics," said Arthur Johnson, Vice President/Debbie and Stanley Lefkowitz '65 Director of Athletics. "As a respected organization with deep roots in the Greater Philadelphia region, Grungo Law shares our commitment to community, excellence and creating meaningful experiences for our student-athletes and fans. We are proud to welcome Rich Grungo and the team at Grungo Law to the Temple family."
The Grungo Law jersey patch will make its Lincoln Financial Field debut when the Owls open the 2026 season against Rhode Island on Saturday, Sept. 5. Grungo Law will also serve as the presenting partner of the season opener.
"Our firm is excited to support the vision and dedication of Temple's leadership as they continue to make Temple into a perennial leader not only in academics, but in winning. We are proud to be the first NCAA football patch sponsor in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the communities where we serve and where a large portion of Temple students and graduates call home," said Richard Grungo Jr., Esq., Founder and CEO of Grungo Law.
"For nearly 150 years, Temple's student-athletes have carried Philadelphia's work ethic and discipline onto every field where they compete. This is our community, and supporting the communities where we work, go to school, and play is something we take great pride in. Grungo Law is honored to stand with Temple Athletics in this new era, and to invest in its student-athletes in a place we are proud to call home."
The partnership, which will run through the 2028 football season, reflects Temple Athletics' continued focus on building innovative corporate relationships that enhance the student-athlete experience while creating meaningful opportunities for partners to engage with one of the region's most recognizable collegiate brands.
Van Wagner College, Temple Athletics' multimedia rights partner, assisted in the development and negotiation of this partnership.
Fans will see the Grungo Law patch on all Temple Football game jerseys throughout the 2026 season, while additional activations and engagement opportunities will be featured at Temple home games and across Temple Athletics' digital and social media platforms.
