When Auburn Volleyball stepped onto the court in Under Armour gear for the 2007 season, it ushered in a fresh new look for the program. Over the next eighteen years, the Tigers cycled through numerous uniform styles, balancing modern trends with bold designs.
Some seasons brought clean, simple sets. Others leaned into unique designs, heavy accents, and eventually, numerous combinations.
Join us as we serve up a full breakdown of every Auburn Volleyball uniform from the Under Armour era — each style, every variation, and every detail — meticulously documented by the Auburn Uniform Database.
2007
In 2006, Auburn Volleyball took the court in Mizuno-produced uniforms featuring a minimalist design. The AU logo sat on the left chest above a block-style number, while the back displayed the school name instead of individual player names.
Under Armour’s arrival in 2007 brought five new jersey designs to Auburn Volleyball. Four of the tops were long-sleeved, featuring a shoulder yoke stripe that extended down the sleeves and along the torso sides. The lone short-sleeved option mirrored the same blocky design. The new Copperplate wordmark was added to the front of the jersey. The block font would carry over from the previous Mizuno design.
This set leaned heavily into the navy colorways. The short sleeve top was navy while two of the four long sleeve designs were navy. One featured white stripes while the other had navy details.
In 2007, the Southeastern Conference celebrated its 75th anniversary, and all teams commemorated the milestone by adding the logo to their uniforms. Auburn Volleyball placed the patch on the left chest. The patch wasn’t spotted for all games, though photographs were limited.
2008
Auburn would remove the SEC 75th anniversary logo for 2008. No conference patch was added in its place, though. The uniforms would remain unchanged otherwise.
Only ten of the thirty-one have been recorded. Only three jersey colorways were spotted in that limited sample size – navy with white stripes, navy with orange stripes, and the powder blue libero tops.
2009
The 2009 season introduced Auburn Volleyball’s first major redesign under Under Armour. Like other Auburn programs at the time, the new look was bold and unusually flashy compared to the school’s previous minimalistic designs.
The new jerseys had unique stripes around the sleeves and thin piping on the sleeves and torso. A portion of the collar was colored to contrast the main jersey color. A matching portion was added below the back of the collar, just above the SEC logo.
The front of each jersey would include the arched Auburn wordmark and the numbers would change to Copperplate for the first time.
2010
Auburn made no changes to the uniforms in their second year of use.
2011
Auburn and Under Armour would introduce a whole new design for 2011. The odd piping designs were out in favor of new spike elements.
The Tigers would have three different colorways this season – white, navy, and orange. Each included a looping stripe around the top of each shoulder along with a triple stripe on the torso underneath the arms, tapering to a point at the bottom of the shirt. The SEC patch was added to the front of the shirts just left of the Under Armour mark.
While the shorts remained all navy throughout most of the Under Armour era, this design added two orange spikes on the sides.
2012
Auburn would continue to wear the new uniforms for 2012, making no changes.
2013
For the 2013 season, Auburn removed all the extra details and went with a very simple design. The new tops would feature the arching wordmark, player numbers, and the Under Armour all center-aligned, just like the previous jerseys. The SEC patch was moved from the chest to the sleeves for the first time.
2014
The 2014 season saw no uniform changes.
2015
For 2015, a new set of simple jerseys were introduced with two minor changes: the Under Armour logo changed colors to white and the SEC logo was tweaked to have an orange outline rather than white. The conference logo was previously screen printed directly to the garment while now being applied as a patch.
Both sets of jerseys – the white Under Armour logo set and the non-white logo pair – were worn during the season. The white tops would not return as they were retired last year.
With the white tops removed, the libero position received a new alternate top. Powder blue jerseys returned for the first time since 2008.
2016
Volleyball wasn’t going to be left out of Auburn’s infatuation with the Northwestern Stripes, as seemingly every program on campus sported the design in some fashion.
The Tigers would add two new jerseys to the rotation, each featuring the stripes wrapping around the sleeves. Oddly enough, they didn’t perfectly circle the arms but were offset on the underside of the arms.
Auburn would add a new pink jersey as well, potentially the program’s first. The new alternate tops featured navy numbers and wordmarks trimmed in white with two large rectangular blocks of white down each sleeve.
While the team would only wear these three jerseys, the liberos would wear the new striped tops alongside the powder blue and white-Under Armour logoed plain sets introduced the previous season.
2017
Auburn made no changes to the uniforms for the 2017 season.
2018
After a full year of only wearing the striped jerseys, the Volleyball team would break the simple tops out of the closet this season.
The Tigers would also replace the pink jerseys with a new design. The new tops mimicked the stripe design, albeit with a similar yet different striping pattern. Below the stripes, a new v-shape pattern was implemented on the sleeves.
2019
Auburn would trade the sleeve-striped jerseys for…striped sleeve jerseys.
A new interpretation of the design was introduced in 2019. Rather than wrapping around the sleeves horizontally, the stripes would now originate from the collar and run vertically down the sleeve. However, the stripe would stop just short of the elbow rather than extending the full length of the sleeve.
Beyond the unique stripe application, the new tops also had sleeves that contrasted with the body color. The orange tops had full navy sleeves whereas the navy tops had orange shoulders. In another odd decision, the orange portion of the navy jerseys ended above the elbow with the stripes.
Those weren’t the only new jerseys this season. The plain and simple look would return in yet another new fashion. While keeping the Under Armour logos white, the wordmark would be straightened out and no longer arch across the chest like it had since 2009. The navy, orange, and powder blue colorways were all updated in this manner.
For all five new jerseys, the SEC patch was moved to the chest. It had sat on the sleeves since 2013. The pink jersey introduced in 2018 would return, keeping the patch on the sleeves.
2020
Auburn Volleyball, much like every other program on campus, would return to play in 2020 following the pandemic with a new addition to the uniforms. The Auburn Unity mark – consisting of grasping black and white hands – would don the front chest of each jersey opposite the SEC patch.
The volleyball season was already difficult with pandemic precautions and a split fall and spring season. After many players opted out of playing the spring portion of the schedule, Auburn would cancel the remaining games. The Tigers would only play eight games in the fall of Brent Crouch’s first season on the Plains.
2021
The 2021 season would be one with no changes to the uniforms. Auburn would continue to wear the shoulder-striped set, the plain design, and the pink uniforms from previous seasons. The Unity mark would remain in place as well.
2022
After a few years of the truncated vertically striped uniforms, the only plausible evolution was, naturally, more truncated vertically striped uniforms.
For 2022, Auburn would retire the previous set of uniforms – all but the powder blue libero tops. The Tigers would once again wear a basic, plain design and a striped design during the season.
The striped uniforms would feature the triple-stripe pattern on the side of the torso and the sleeves. The previous design’s stripes ran from the collar to the elbow, whereas these had the stripes originate at the elbow and finish at the sleeve cuff.
For both the plain and striped uniforms, the Under Armour logo moved to the right side of the chest. The SEC patch would return to the sleeves, placed just above the elbow on each colorway.
The fifth new jersey this season was another pink design. The sleeve stripes were removed altogether. The front side of the torso included a sublimated set of pinstripes. The wordmark and numbers would be all white, much like the Women’s Basketball uniforms, creating a bloated look for both elements. A white ribbon was added on the back collar above the numbers.
At the end of October, Auburn would make a change to all the jerseys, minus the pink colorways. Player names were added underneath the back number, making these the first Under Armour uniforms to include a nameplate. It’s the first time player names appear on a jersey since 2004.
Auburn would earn just the second NCAA Tournament in program history. Unlike in 2010, the Tigers would add the NCAA patch to the jerseys. The team would wear the navy striped uniforms for both matches with the NCAA patch sitting on the chest. The libero wore the powder blue tops. With the Unity patch still in place on the chest, the NCAA circle was added to the sleeve.
2023
In the summer of 2023, Auburn Volleyball took a trip internationally to play in Italy. During their travels, the Tigers would sport new tank-top-style jerseys. These new tops made their way back to the States and were used in a few games during the 2023 season.
The new sleeveless jerseys continued to carry the Northwestern Stripes on the torso but added another popular detail. The beloved script Auburn mark was worn on both the navy and powder blue colorways. Despite a modern version being available, Auburn would choose instead to use the vintage 1980s style that Auburn Baseball used.
Auburn would continue to wear the sleeve stripe designs, the plain set, the new pink tops, and the powder blue libero jerseys with the Unity patch still intact.
Auburn would return to the NCAA Tournament for a second straight season. The striped sleeve design was worn for the one Tournament game – the team in orange, the libero in navy. The NCAA patch was placed on the left chest for both jerseys.
2024
Despite 2024 being the last Auburn Volleyball season with Under Armour, the Tigers went out and replaced the uniforms with four new styles.
Tank-tops remain popular in collegiate volleyball and Auburn wasn’t to let them go after just one season. A new set was ordered with the Copperplate wordmark replacing the script logo. The navy jerseys would feature an orange collar and the orange uniforms had a navy collar. The powder blue libero tops wouldn’t comply with the contrasting collar design.
The tank tops were worn all season besides just two games. The pink jerseys returned against LSU and another new design was debuted against South Alabama in Birmingham. Long sleeves returned for this one-off uniform, which simply added a small set of stripes to the side of the torso. They were never to be seen again, despite the Tigers defeating the Jaguars three sets to one.
Auburn would again add player names to most of the new jerseys. The powder blue jerseys, for some reason, didn’t get nameplates like the other new additions.
From color-blocked experiments to clean classics, Under Armour provided Auburn Volleyball with an array of looks for nearly two decades.
The Under Armour years saw Auburn make strides on the court, including the program’s first NCAA Tournament win and a new standard under a revitalized coaching staff — all while donning uniforms that ranged from simple and classic to bold and unique.
As Auburn transitions into the Nike era, the foundation laid during the Under Armour years — on both the court and the equipment room — remains a pivotal chapter in the program’s aesthetic and competitive journey.
