2019 Auburn Under Armour Apparel Overview
With each new season of football comes another line of apparel. Auburn and Under Armour have slowly rolled out this year’s apparel line over the summer months. In what is the fifth edition of this series, you will find brief overviews and listed prices of much of this year’s merchandise available.
This overview is meant to guide fans through what is available most of the time. These listings have all been found on Fanatics unless otherwise noted. Images shown will feature what was available on Fanatics at the time of publishing. If you visit any store on or around campus, their selection may differ. More merchandise will most likely be available in person that isn’t online.
Even with Auburn announcing a new logo recently, the changes won’t go into effect until next year. That goes for merchandise and apparel as well. It may be the spring that new logo merchandise appears, but I wouldn’t expect to see anything reflect the change during football season.

Hats
The sideline hat theme for the new season is rather unique, as Under Armour’s base template features a band across the back that contrasts from most of the crown. It feels more like a trucker hat, but isn’t entirely mesh-based on the back. Available in fitted and adjustable styles, both at $31.99.
Prefer a more simple hat design? Take the classic structured hat. It’s a better price also, listed at $23.99. Fanatics only lists adjustable styles, however.
Polos
There’s two new styles of sideline polos this season. Which will be worn on field is yet to be seen.
The first design released this summer is a really nice set of chest stripes that go around one of the sleeves. I’m hoping these will be the primary sideline shirts as they’re such an attractive design. Available in blue, orange, and white styles at $79.99.
The second polo design might end up being the sideline polo and also carries some stripes. The front torso has a large area of white stripes separated by a contrasting colored stripe underneath the buttons. The stripes don’t carry over to the back side, however. Unfortunately, the stacked logos from last year returns. Thankfully the Under Armour logo is slightly smaller this time around. You can grab one one yourself for $89.99.
Also available are simple, single-color polos. They come in orange and blue, according to Fanatics, but expect a white colorway also. They won’t hurt the wallet as much, priced at $64.99.
T-Shirts
This season’s sideline t-shirt is … well, not good. For whatever reason, Under Armour wanted to make the main aspect of the shirt off centered and lower than chest level. It’s all text, too, no imagery, which makes for an odd look. The location-based information isn’t a bad choice, but poorly executed here. For $44.99, I imagine most will skip over this one. Also available in orange and white. The women’s style is a bit different, with Auburn placed on the bottom hem and War Eagle on the back.
Simple logo t-shirts are often a big hit. No glitz and glamour needed with this design. The AU-logo t-shirts come in a wide range of colors, including a second, darker grey. They’ll run you $34.99 regardless of color choice.
While the primary sideline tees are a bust, these are much better. Under Armour has loved using stripes in their apparel over the last few years. These shirts will run at $29.99. This is the design that will be used for other sports, but expect those to be solely for the athletes. It’s unfortunate that Soccer, Softball, Basketball, and others don’t get retail releases.
Similar to the previous design, this shirt features a much larger set of letters, stripes, and the AU logo. These are priced at $34.99 and will more than likely only be available for Football.
Don’t want to buy any shirts with the “old” AU logo with a “new” visual identity on the way? Skip the logo shirts and go with the simple wordmark shirts. It’ll cost $34.99.
Or grab a classic arched wordmark shirt with the AU logo. At $29.99, this will be a popular option.
The most unique t-shirt of this line features a nice football icon with the AU logo over top. It will be available at $29.99. Really hope this design is used for other sports.
Long Sleeves
Many of the long sleeve shirts are based on their short sleeve counterparts. That goes for the striped sideline design. Naturally there’s a bit of an upcharge for the extra material, and these will run at $34.99.
The large AU logo shirts are also available with long sleeves for $39.99.
The classic arched wordmark shirt has an extra feature on the long sleeves – War Eagle placed on the sleeve. These are priced at $39.99.
Jerseys
Auburn will be wearing a new jersey template for 2019, so that means the retail jerseys will reflect the changes. The biggest change is to the collars on the white jerseys, as they are now white as opposed to blue. Fanatics lists #1 and #34 as the available numbers, but #2 jerseys have been seen elsewhere. Base replica models will run at $94.00, while youth sizes will cost $74.99.
The best improvement to retail jerseys is the addition of premium jerseys featuring stitched numbers and embroidered chestmarks and logos. The additional cost is well worth the price tag, as numbers won’t break and crack like their screen printed counterparts. They’ll run at $119.99 but you won’t be buying another one for a while.
Alumni jerseys have been rather popular lately, as popular player’s names can finally appear on retail jerseys once they’ve left school. At the time of publishing this article, only Kerryon Johnson has been added to Fanatics’s website. Expect more former Auburn Tigers to appear on the new template, as there have been many names used previously. These feature screen printed graphics rather than any embroidery. They’ll unfortunately have the NFLPA logo stamped underneath the rear numbers. The one available currently is priced at $109.99.
Jackets
The 2019 sideline jacket features the stacked logos and a contrasting stripe on the shoulder. It will cost $119.99.
If you like the look of the previous design, but want some extra color (and save some money), this quarter-zip with nice contrasting sleeve stripes would be perfect. $89.99.
Under Armour put a “new twist on a classic” hoodie with a “unique pattern to give a one-of-a-kind look.” Yes, that’s really what the product description says. It’s an odd pattern on a hoodie, so of course it’ll run $79.99.
Go for a clean look with this white/grey full-zip hoodie for $129.99.
Hopefully you will stay warm and dry with this grey rain jacket. $89.99.
This classy pullover jacket features a collar-snap rather than a traditional zipper. It’s priced at $64.99.
If you prefer a traditional quarter-zip, go with this grey pullover for $74.99.
If white is more your style, this pullover would be a great choice. $84.99.
The final jacket showcased might be the warmest option. This all fleece navy jacket will cost $89.99 and I sure hope it’s as comfy as it looks.
Shorts
Shorts see a nice price tag increase, jumping $10 from last year to $64.99. The busy dot-pattern adds a lot of character to the sides of this year’s shorts. At least they have pockets.
A first for this series, Fanatics listed women’s shorts online. The white shorts with navy details feature an interesting pattern sublimated. They’re priced at $39.99.
Shoes

This year’s Under Armour shoes go back to white with orange and blue details. The Auburn logo is placed on the inside of the heel rather than the tongue like previous editions. The athletes were issued a navy shoe that, personally, looks a whole lot better.
The inner sole of the shoes feature an eagle head image, the same one Auburn wore on base layers and gloves in the 2014 Outback Bowl.
They’re also a little bit more expensive this year, priced at $120.
