Following the initial emerging of word of Colin Kaepernick’s deal with Nike, Darren Rovell of ESPN reported there were no plans to produce a signature for him nor an apparel line.

Not surprisingly, the del with Kaepernick has lead to some backlash against Nike.

After the news of the Kaepernick deal broke, the hashtag “Nike Boycott” trended on Twitter and according to the report of Emma Thomasson and Utah Sampath Kumar of Reuters, Nike shares dropped 3% during early trading Tuesday.

Kaepernick is in the midst of an ongoing collusion case against the NFL.
