Auburn Baseball’s Under Armour era opened with a burst of energy — flashy details, fresh designs, and a clear intent to stand apart from the crowd.
But over time, the Tigers began to dial things back. Clean scripts, classic pinstripes, and traditional trims became the norm, settling into a more timeless aesthetic that still carried a modern edge.
Across eighteen seasons, Auburn’s look evolved from experimentation to refinement—always changing, yet always unmistakably Auburn.
2007
Auburn’s first set of uniforms from Under Armour was a simple evolution of previous designs. Things would change a little, but it was a nice introduction to modern uniforms without a massive diversion from tasteful designs.
The Tigers would retain the white jersey with the orange AU logo and numbers, but change to Copperplate numbers. The grey uniforms matched but with navy AU logos and numbers outlined in orange. The orange tops would include navy piping around the placket and sleeves with a block of navy underneath the armpits. The arching Auburn wordmark would sit on the center chest above a player number on the left side. Two navy jerseys were included in this initial set. One matched the orange design while the other included the AU logo on the left chest and the numbers underneath on the right side.
Each jersey would adopt the new Copperplate numerals. The Under Armour logo would sit on the front chest for the first time. Russell’s logos were often worn on the bottom of the left sleeve. Auburn would continue to wear the diamond-shaped SEC patch on the left sleeve that was previously utilized.
2008
For the 2007-2008 athletic season, the Southeastern Conference celebrated its 75th anniversary. All conference athletic teams wore a commemorative patch on their uniforms to celebrate. Football teams wore a version of the patch with the 1933 to 2008 ribbon included while all other teams went with a sans-ribbon style.
2009
2009 would bring a world of changes to Auburn’s baseball uniforms, utilizing unique designs that Under Armour used to stand out at the time.
The orange, white, and grey colorways would receive the new design. This included dual-color stripes that began at the armpit and tapered to a point near the collar. A matching set of stripes was added to the torso underneath the arms. An arching stripe crossed the back of the jersey above the player number and the AU logo. The pants stripes were a unique tapering stripe that was thin on the ends, thick in the middle, and didn’t reach the top or bottom of the pants leg. The arching Auburn wordmark was used on the orange and grey tops while the white jersey had the AU logo on the left chest.
Auburn would keep things much more tame with the navy jerseys. A plain blue top featured the AU logo and player numbers on the front with white placket and sleeve piping. Unfortunately, it was worn with the new uniquely striped pants that didn’t quite match aesthetically.
Batting practice jerseys aren’t as common in college baseball as they are in the major leagues. But Auburn wore BP tops during this time and they even trickled into a game or two. The warm-up tops had a two-button collar rather than a full placket and armpit stripes similar to the base designs. The AU logo sat on the chest level with the Under Armour logo.
Auburn would also introduce a few new hats this season. The new primary hat had a navy crown and orange bill with an orange and white AU logo. Additionally, a white-crowned cap was added to pair with the white uniforms. The Tigers also added a grey ballcap that was only spotted once in South Carolina with the grey road uniforms.
The diamond-shaped SEC patch was replaced with the circular logo design this season.
There was one additional uniform added this season – a cream colorway featuring the script Auburn wordmark. This throwback-inspired uniform included an orange number on the front similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers design. This look quickly became a favorite among players and fans alike.
The Tigers would pair the previous season’s ballcap – all navy with an all orange AU logo – for the early games. Later on, they would introduce another throwback-inspired piece in a navy cap with a thick block-A logo. The block-A was worn by pre-1990 teams, albeit in a much thinner application.
2010
It was much of the same for Auburn baseball in 2010 – except for one game.
On April 9th, the Tigers would sport a new ballcap when hosting LSU. Paired with the cream uniforms, Auburn wore an American flag-clad AU logo on their navy caps. It’s the only recorded instance this hat appeared on the diamond.
2011
Another year, another new hat for the Auburn Tigers.
For 2011, Auburn would add a new tri-colored hat to the rotation. The new headwear included a blue crown with the front two panels being white and an orange bill. It was only recorded as being worn with the orange jerseys and white pants home at Plainsman Park.
2012
The 2012 season was quiet as far as the jerseys and pants go. But Auburn would make some changes to the headwear.
After years of wearing hats produced by The Game, the Tigers had now fully transitioned to Under Armour. Design-wise, not much changed. The logo on the left side of the ballcap was all that would change during this move.
2013
The 2013 season was a year of changes for Auburn Baseball’s uniforms. First off, Auburn would now wear Under Armour-produced hats rather than headwear provided by The Game. The logo on the left side of the hats changed to the UA logo.
The Tigers would add a new hat to the rotation – an all-navy cap with a white AU logo – when they revealed a new pinstripe uniform in the season opener. The hat and jersey were both designed to mimic the pinstripes made famous by the New York Yankees.
Auburn would debut two more new jerseys this season, both shedding the odd striping design of the previous colorways. The orange jersey would simply feature the modern script Auburn wordmark in navy with a white outline. The Tigers must have liked the simple look of the navy jerseys because the new white tops would match – placket and sleeve stripes with the AU logo on the left chest and player numbers on the right side.
Auburn would also wear their first camouflage ballcap this season. A hunting camo pattern was featured on the crown and bill. An orange stripe on the front side of the visor ran into the orange under-bill color. A blue AU logo with an orange outline would fulfill the camouflage brief.
2014
Sunny Golloway was hired to replace John Palawski as head coach. With that, came a lot of Golloway’s aesthetic practices.
The biggest change to Auburn’s uniforms this season came with the hosiery. Golloway would outfit his team in multiple stirrup designs throughout the season, clearly a big fan of the look. The Tigers would wear stirrups for all home games, with the requirement being relaxed for road trips. Golloway would also implement the program’s first captaincy patches, adding a block letter C to the chest of team captains’ jerseys. Players would now wear their last name on the back of the jersey for the first time since 2004.
Auburn would retire the last of Under Armour’s crazy uniforms when they introduced a new grey uniform. This was the only jersey in the rotation to include the arching Auburn Copperplate wordmark. The Tigers would also simplify the hat designs. Only the primary orange-billed cap and the white-AU hat worn with the pinstripe uniforms were utilized.
2015
Golloway would bring another one of his Oklahoma staples with him to the plains – a vested jersey.
Auburn hadn’t sported a vest jersey, once a staple under Hal Baird, since the 2004 season. The new sleeveless tops were basically edits of the white jersey. The placket piping, AU logo, player numbers, and nameplates all matched. The sleeve piping was moved to the armholes, however. The SEC patch, with no sleeves to adorn, would be added to the back collar between the piping and the top of the jersey.
Golloway also sported his Sooners teams in camouflage hats. Auburn wasn’t immune to this change either. Rather than the hunting camo previously used, the new ballcaps featured a blue and tan digital camo pattern. The AU logo was rendered in orange with a navy outline to add a little contrast.
2016
Following an ugly breakup with Golloway, Auburn hired Butch Thompson as the new head coach. Thompson came in and almost immediately rescinded many of Golloway’s aesthetic tweaks.
Stirrups would no longer be required under Thompson but up to the player’s preference. Nameplates and the captain’s patches would also be removed.
Tennessee would come to town in mid-April. Auburn – and Under Armour – had a special surprise planned for this series. A new set of jerseys in white and navy featured a unique set of vertical stripes on the sleeves, tapering from the shoulders down to a point at the sleeve cuffs. The pants featured a similar stripe with an AU logo placed on the right kneecap.
Word was these were contractual obligations and Auburn was forced to wear them. Each was worn just once and never to be seen again.
2017
2017 was uneventful for Auburn’s baseball uniforms, except for one item – the batting helmets.
A new orange bill decal was added to the helmets to match the primary caps worn during the season. When the cap with just a white AU logo was worn, the batting helmets would match, featuring no orange bill and a white AU decal.
2018
The 2018 season began with a new set of designs. Auburn would lean into the script Auburn mark for this new set.
Each jersey color – white, grey, orange, and navy – would include Northwestern stripes around the collar and sleeve cuffs. The navy tops had the arching Auburn wordmark while the other three included the script wordmark. The pants included the same stripe down the side and came in white and grey.
Auburn would retain the pinstripe and cream uniforms from previous years.
The Tigers would also introduce another new hat this season. The new primary hat was all navy, removing the orange bill worn since 2009.
The orange-bill decals on the batting helmets were removed this season, as they no longer matched the ballcap. The player’s number was now added to the helmet bill in its place.
2019
2019 was a big year for Auburn Baseball, earning the first trip to the College World Series since 1994.
Uniform-wise, the regular season was all about the hats. Auburn would kick off the season sporting the tri-colored hat – navy cap, white front panels, and orange bill – for the first time since 2013. In March, the Tigers would introduce a green ballcap for St. Patrick’s Day. Camouflage caps returned for the first time since 2016, but this time with a white outlined AU logo rather than navy.
While 2019 was incredible on the diamond, it was difficult off the field.
In early March, the Beauregard community of Lee County, just a few miles from Auburn’s campus, was hit by an EF4 tornado. The long-track twister would kill 23 and injure nearly 100 others. Auburn would wear Lee County Strong decals on their helmets for the remainder of the season in support of the local community.
On May 25, 2019, longtime Voice of the Auburn Tigers Rod Bramblett and his wife Paula were killed in a car wreck just off campus. While sitting at a red light, their vehicle was struck by another speeding vehicle. The Tigers would add an RB decal to the helmets and sticker to the ballcaps for the remainder of the season. Auburn would also wear the camo hats throughout the postseason run as they were reportedly a favorite of Bramblett’s.
After fighting their way to Omaha, the Tigers would add the College World Series patch to the right shoulder on each jersey. It was oddly placed high on the sleeves rather than a traditional location closer to the sleeve cuffs.
2020
Auburn would kick off the 2020 season by debuting their newest uniform design – a new set of pinstripes.
The new pinstripes would add an orange outline to the AU logo on the left chest and introduce the player’s number to the front, also carrying the new outline. Player names would return to the back of the jersey for the first time since 2015.
The new pinstriped uniforms were paired with the white ballcap, making its return to the diamond for the first time since 2013. The new hat was worn for 17 of the 18 games this season before the pandemic cut everything short.
2021
Following the 2020 social justice uprisings amidst the pandemic, Auburn, along with most athletic programs, adopted some sort of design to serve as an indication that they want to encourage change. The Auburn Unity mark included two clasped hands – one rendered in white and the other in black – that also formed a heart. All of Auburn’s programs would wear the mark in some fashion. Auburn Baseball would add it to the right sleeve of each jersey for the entirety of the 2021 season.
2022
Following the shortened 2020 season, Auburn would return to the diamond in 2021 for another postseason run.
The Tigers would retain the Unity patch on the sleeves while also bringing back a few hats. The green St. Patrick’s Day caps would return but only for a single game this season. The white AU logo hat, last worn in 2018 and reserved only for pinstripes, would return. With the new orange-trimmed pinstripes, the sans-orange ballcap would clash this time around.
Auburn would again find themselves in Omaha after winning the Corvallis Super Regional. The Tigers would place the College World Series patch on the chest this time, as the sleeves were occupied with the SEC and Unity patches. For the orange and grey tops, the CWS patch sat atop the script chestmark on the left chest. For the pinstripes, however, it sat level with the AU logo, in between the Under Armour logo and the player’s number. This placement, especially, looked awkward with the upper chest open above the AU logo.
2023
In 2023, it was time again for Auburn to introduce a whole new uniform set. And this time, they went all in on the script.
The Tigers returned to the Dodgers-style design with a script wordmark and number underneath. The new set came in navy, cream, grey, and orange. The orange colorway had the number color match the navy script while the others were rendered in orange to contrast. Cream hadn’t been worn since the previous throwback-inspired design was retired in 2018.
Each jersey would include nameplates – the first every jersey has the player names since 2003. The USA flag was also donned for the first time, being added to the left sleeve on each jersey – including the pinstripe uniforms carried over from previous seasons.
The biggest talking point with this set was the all-navy look. Auburn would add the blue pants to mimic the Los Angeles Dodgers’ City Connect design. It was the first time the Tigers had gone all-navy since 1936.
The orange jerseys wouldn’t arrive until later in the season after a delay in production. They made their debut in April during the Texas A&M series, alongside a new hat. A throwback block-A cap was worn to honor Hall of Famer Frank Thomas, who was receiving a statue outside the ballpark that weekend. The new hat was the first time the block A had been worn in any capacity since 2010, though that was a much thicker style. The thin A worn here was last worn in 1989 by Thomas and his teammates.
Auburn would once again sport two different batting helmets depending on the ballcap worn. One helmet featured an orange and white AU logo while the other was all white. Both helmets featured 3D rubber logos on the front alongside SEC logos and player numbers on the back. It was the first time the 3D logos had been used by the baseball program.
2024
Auburn would continue to wear the Dodgers-inspired uniforms for the 2024 season. In late April, the Tigers would add another uniform to the rotation.
In celebration of 90s Day, Auburn would sport a new white jersey. The design was inspired by the Hal Baird era with an orange AU logo outlined in navy on the chest and numbers to match. The Tigers would wear a white hat with a matching AU logo on the front, similar to what Baird outfitted his team decades prior.
It wasn’t a true throwback, however. The front number was all navy and didn’t match the rest of the uniform. The placket and sleeve piping were missing as well. It all felt cobbled together and a poor mix of the Baird-era design it meant to evoke and the current uniform set.
Additionally, Auburn would transition to Evoshield-branded batting helmets. Perhaps this was a jumpstart to get ahead of the switch away from Under Armour. The same 3D logo design was retained from the prior year.
2025
The 2025 Auburn Baseball season has not yet been completed at the time of publishing. Once it is, this section will be updated with any new items.
Auburn kept things status quo for the 2025 season, sticking with the same uniform lineup as the previous year. Auburn would, for the most part, stick to the same uniform schedule that had been in place since 2023.
The uniform schedule saw one major diversion, with mid-week home games seeing a new combination – navy jerseys and pinstripe pants. This was a common combination in past years, especially for double-headers. But it hadn’t been seen during this current uniform set’s use until now.
The NCAA Tournament began having teams wear the NCAA patch in 2023. With Auburn missing the postseason tournament in 2024, this season was the first time the patch would don an Auburn uniform. The Tigers added the light blue patch to the left chest of the jerseys.
NCAA Tournaments also cycle home and visitor designations. For the second round game against Stetson, Auburn wore the road grey uniforms. This was the first time doing so at home since the 2003 Auburn Regional against Ohio State.
What began as a bold visual statement for Auburn Baseball gradually evolved into a more classic look, one that balanced tradition with just enough modern influence to keep things fresh.
As Auburn transitions into a new era, the visual identity forged during the Under Armour years will remain a key chapter in the program’s history — rooted in both bold beginnings and a commitment to tradition.
