When Auburn Soccer first suited up in Under Armour kits in the fall of 2006, it marked the beginning of a long-running partnership that would see the Tigers become one of the school’s most visually consistent programs, second only to football.
While other teams cycled through frequent redesigns, Auburn Soccer eventually found its identity and stuck with it.
Join us as we revisit every uniform worn by Auburn Soccer during the Under Armour era—each variation, every detail, and the subtle shifts that shaped nearly two decades, carefully documented throughout the years by the Auburn Uniform Database.
2006
The first Under Armour design was an interesting one. The team wore asymmetric kits, with a stripe on the right side of the body curving towards the collar at the top. The shorts mimicked this with a tapering field that was wide at the bottom and thin at the top.
The AU logo would sit above the Copperplate Auburn wordmark on the chest, opposite the Under Armour logo. While some other programs didn’t immediately adopt the Copperplate sans-serif numerals, Auburn Soccer did so immediately and hasn’t wavered since. Only a white and navy colorway was worn, though only 10 of the season’s 21 matches have been accounted for.
The goalkeepers donned long-sleeved jerseys with a contrasting shoulder yoke design. The Tigers’ keeper would either wear a black kit or a yellow/gold clash jersey. Two different short designs were sported – one matching the team with the asymmetric pointy panel and another with a tapering stripe and thin piping line.
2007
The 2007 season would bring several changes to the initial Auburn Soccer kits.
The Tigers retained the white uniform from 2006 and added two new colorways. The blue kit would swap the white trim for orange while a new orange kit with blue stripes was added.
The keeper would see two new jerseys in the rotation. The shoulder yoke black top was replaced with collarbone spikes. Thin piping would carry the stripes down the sleeves to a larger area around the cuffs and then around the back of the jersey and collar. A new powder blue colorway was introduced, mimicking the collarbone stripes. This jersey was unique, however, as the front numbers were navy with white trim and the rear numerals were white with navy outlines.
Auburn would add additional uniform combinations this season. The team sported the white jerseys with the navy shorts from 2006 for the season’s first two games. The goalkeepers would also add to the fun, wearing blue jerseys and orange shorts alongside orange jerseys and blue shorts.
2007 was also the Southeastern Conference’s 75th anniversary. Every team sport under the SEC banner would wear the commemorative 75th patch on their uniforms. Auburn Soccer would add the patch to the left sleeve.
2008
2008 would bring a new design to the Soccer program. The asymmetric stripes were replaced for piping and color blocking.
The new jerseys featured a pair of thin lines running from the collar down the shoulder to the sleeve cuffs. The cuffs had a half-stripe that wrapped underneath the sleeve. A pair of stripes taper to a point on the side of the torso. The tapering stripes continue down the side of the shorts before running into the thin piping line. The collars were two-toned, with the front half in a contrasting color and the back portion matching the jersey color.
Each jersey would include the arched Auburn wordmark on the chest. The Under Armour logo would sit above in the middle of the chest for the first time. The circular SEC logo was worn for the first time as well, replacing the 75th anniversary on the sleeves.
Auburn would introduce what is likely the first pink kit in program history for the Vanderbilt match. Pink tops with white torso panels were paired with pink socks and asymmetric navy shorts with white trim from the 2006 season.
The goalkeepers would wear the new orange kit alongside the black collarbone kit and yellow clash jersey from previous seasons.
2009
Auburn would make a small tweak to the shorts for 2009. Rather than having the thin line run alongside the color section, they would now be separate items. The larger colored stripe would terminate after intersecting the thin line.
The Tigers’ goalkeepers would receive a new highlighter yellow jersey. Grey was added to the collar and sides of the torso while the collarbone stripes were retained and painted black.
2010
The 2010 season saw a complete overhaul of the Auburn Soccer kit design. The Tigers introduced two completely different designs for the team to wear.
The white uniforms featured a white field across the front of the chest – wider on the sides than the center – that would house the Under Armour and Auburn AU logos.
Navy sleeve cuffs had an odd orange square on top that had a half-circle cutout of the top. This was seemingly to hold the conference patch. A navy stripe would arch across the back of the jersey above the nameplates with an orange field connecting it to the collar. The collar featured a three-colored design: a white base with a small orange section flanked by navy on either side. The bottom of the shirts had a pointed stripe on each side.
For the shorts, an orange stripe at the bottom of each leg mimicked the sleeve design. The white socks included vertical triangular navy stripes on either side.
The orange jerseys were a little more tame. The collar had a navy section that, at the front, angled to the right and connected to a thin white line that ran to the right sleeve cuff. On either side of the torso, underneath the white piping, was a pair of navy triangles. The navy sleeve cuffs were wrapped with the white piping and were thicker on the outer portion of the sleeve than underneath the arm.
Paired with the orange tops were new navy shorts. These included a thick orange stripe on the sides, running into a white portion at the bottom of each leg. A thin white stripe ran along the front side of the orange stripe. Orange socks were paired with this kit, featuring a navy stripe. Like the sleeve cuffs, these were thin in the front and thicker on the back.
The goalkeepers would sport the highlighter yellow tops but paired with black shorts and socks. A new navy jersey was also introduced, mimicking the design from the year prior. Rather than sticking with the orange-trimmed design, the Auburn keeper received a white-trimmed jersey.
2011
Auburn kept with the same unique kits for 2011. The Tigers would mix the white jerseys and navy shorts for a few games. For the Middle Tennessee match, the team would pair the navy socks with the new look. White socks were worn the following week against Wright State.
2012
When the 2012 season began, Auburn once again had a new set of kits to show off. The Tigers would have three new designs this time around.
The new white jerseys removed most of the design elements previously worn. A small set of navy and orange stripes donned the sides of the jersey while the collar kept the orange center portion, but now sitting on a full navy base. The torso stripes were copied onto the shorts.
Auburn’s new orange jerseys were a more classic design, with navy and white loops being added to the shoulders. While the collar itself was solid orange this time, a thin navy triangle was added directly beneath it, above the chestmark.
The orange tops were paired with navy shorts once again. An orange stripe began about halfway down the side of each leg and wrapped around towards the back. A white stripe sat behind and would cross the orange stripe to reach the bottom of the shorts’ leg.
For the first time since 2007, the Auburn goalkeeper would wear powder blue. A thin white line of piping began on the left sleeve and ran up the shoulder and across the chest, eventually becoming a much larger stripe on the right side of the shirt. It wrapped above the AU logo and then underneath the Under Armour logo. The white collar was cut towards the front, turning to powder blue.
2013
After debuting the powder blue kits last season, Auburn introduced a navy colorway for 2013. The new jerseys carried the same thin-to-thick stripe across the chest.
2014
Auburn overhauled the kit design for 2014, ushering in the beginning of the striped sash design era.
The history of soccer uniforms is riddled with sashes running diagonally across the front. Auburn added a unique twist, making the sash mimic the school’s traditional Northwestern stripe design. It didn’t match the football stripes perfectly, with the center orange stripe being considerably thicker and flanked by thin stripes on either side.
The sash stripe wasn’t the only design element on the jerseys. Additional orange stripes were added to the sleeves wrapped around the side of the torso and across the back above the nameplate. The sleeve cuffs were a contrasting color from the jersey. The shorts matched with the orange stripes on the side and the bottom of each leg contrasting the rest of the color.
Auburn also changed the socks to include a dual-stripe pattern, with the top stripe sitting above a thicker stripe. The names on the back of each jersey were changed from the standard block font to Copperplate.
The goalkeepers wouldn’t receive their own sash kit this season. Instead, they wore the navy design and a few looks from last year. The one change, however, came with the powder blue kit. A new pair of matching shorts and socks were added to allow a cohesive look and no longer require mixing and matching other colorways and designs.
2015
After being left out last season, Auburn’s goalkeepers finally received a new orange colorway of the sashed kits. But that wasn’t all. Two additional keeper kits were worn in 2015.
A new long-sleeved powder blue style was worn for a few games. The new look added navy shoulders with a gradient-style set of white stripes underneath, fading back into the powder blue. For the season opener at UC Irvine in California, Auburn would break out a black clash kit for the first time since 2008. This design featured a unique, abstract set of thin white stripes, some dashed lines, grey areas in between, and white spikes towards the bottom. It was only worn in this one game and never seen again.
For the game against Tennessee in Knoxville, Auburn wore orange ribbons on the front of their jerseys. The team’s strength and conditioning coach, Megan Young, was diagnosed with cancer. The team adopted #MeguhStrong as a mantra for the entire season.
The ribbons were only worn for the one game against the Vols. The team would wear #MeguhStrong t-shirts during warmups for the rest of the season.
2016
After two years of use, it was time to update the striped sash uniforms.
Version 2.0 cleaned up the original design and produced a much better kit. The sash was updated with a truer representation of Auburn’s Northwestern Stripes, with the line weights being more accurate. The superfluous orange stripes were removed making for a cleaner look. The sleeve cuffs, collar, and bottom of the shorts now contrasted with the primary jersey color, adding some nice color blocking to the design.
In the minor tweaks categories, the SEC patch was updated and the orange outline replaced the white one. The nameplates were updated to a traditional block font rather than the matching Copperplate letters. The orange keeper kit received matching striped socks after using plain socks the previous season.
2017
The Tigers would continue wearing the second iteration of the sash kits for 2017 with no changes. The long-sleeved powder blue goalkeeper uniform would reappear for just one match against Vanderbilt.
2018
Since the beginning of the Under Armour era, Auburn Soccer’s kits have only lasted two seasons before being replaced. That continued in 2018 as sash stripe version third hit the pitch.
The new Under Armour template forced Auburn’s hand. Thanks to the mesh panel placed on the collarbone areas, the sash was no longer able to cover the entire length of the jersey. So instead, Auburn was stuck with a half-sash originating at the midsection. This quickly was mocked as a “belly button stripe.”
The contrasting sleeve cuffs were removed. The collars for all three colorways were orange. This added some needed contrast to the white and navy styles, but the keeper’s orange version lacked it.
The shorts would revert back to a 2014-15 style with the single arching stripe. This time, however, the stripes were backward from the original design.
In early October, Auburn hosted Georgia on the Plains. The Tigers would host their sixth annual “Kick for MS” match which supported multiple sclerosis research. Goalkeeper Sarah Le Beau’s father battles MS and was a big part of the celebrations that day. Le Beau and teammate Taylor Troutman would both wear orange ribbons on their jerseys. It was the same ribbon worn a few years earlier for trainer Megan Young.
2019
Sash Stripe v3 saw no changes during its second year of use. The Tigers didn’t tweak anything with the uniforms this season.
2020
For the first time, Auburn Soccer would wear a kit for a third season.
After the social uprising that occurred during the summer of 2020, Auburn, like many schools across the country, adopted marks to show their support. The Auburn Unity logo was a black hand clasping a white hand. All Auburn team programs would wear the logo on their uniforms. Despite not appearing for the season opener – the first Auburn Athletics event since the pandemic – the Unity mark would adorn the right sleeve the remainder of the season.
The Tigers would add a new design this season – another powder blue kit for the goalkeepers. These carried the half-sash stripes and shorts stripes but added white sleeve cuffs and stripes atop each shoulder. The new kits were only worn twice before being mothballed.
2021
The 2021 season marked the return of a full sash after another tweak of the Under Armour template. Now in its fourth version, the Auburn Soccer kits utilized a true-to-form set of Northwestern Stripes with proper sizing.
Sleeve cuffs would return, but now with a thin stripe atop the larger block of color. The collar was cut off on the front and carried the same design as the cuffs.
The shorts now also featured the Northwestern Stripes to match the jerseys. These stripes were placed at an angle, going from the front of the shorts at the top towards the back side on the bottom. The socks also saw minor changes, with the navy and orange colorways flipping stripe colors and the white hosiery going with a solid navy stripe.
2022
Never to be left out, Auburn’s goalkeepers would receive yet another powder blue jersey in 2022. These again followed the design of the rest of the team, featuring the striped sash across the front. Unlike the team, the keepers’ alternate kit did not include a colored collar or sleeve cuffs. The stripes didn’t carry over to the shorts either, instead mimicking a previous style with a single curved white stripe.
2023
The long-sleeve powder blue jerseys introduced the previous season weren’t conducive to warmer weather games. So Auburn added a very similar design but with short sleeves.
The sash design carried over, but this time the collar was white. White was also added to the sides of the torso.
All four uniform colorways – navy, orange, white, and powder blue – were paired with plain, stripeless socks.
2024
For the 2024 season – the last of the Under Armour era – Auburn debuted one final set of new uniforms. The Tigers would wear the fifth iteration of the striped sash design that originally debuted a decade prior.
The new kits were almost identical to the previous set, though a few small details were changed. The stripes on the sash were tweaked slightly and the entire sash was made a little
The sash was made a little thinner overall as the stripes were adjusted. The collar was no longer cut off but rather would overlap on the front. The shorts’ stripes were made straight vertically and the logos – the AU and Under Armour logos – would swap places. For the entirety of the Under Armour era until now, the Auburn logo sat on the right leg as the UA mark was on the left.
Much like previous sets, the powder blue keeper remained would return. This time, the stripes on the jersey and shorts were not navy, white, and orange. Now, they were a slightly darker shade of blue, creating a tone-on-tone effect.
Auburn would earn the program’s 18th NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite being well accustomed to the postseason, this year marked the first time the Tigers would wear the blue NCAA patch. Unlike other sports, NCAA soccer teams didn’t wear the patch until 2022.
The Tigers would place the patch on the chest, directly above the Under Armour logo.
While many Auburn teams saw dramatic uniform overhauls throughout the Under Armour era, Auburn Soccer embraced consistency. The striped sash became a symbol of the program, appearing in various forms across more than a decade, anchoring a visual identity that stood out in the SEC.
Under Armour’s eighteen-year run saw the Tigers make numerous postseason appearances and field some of the program’s most competitive squads, all while wearing kits that subtly evolved without ever losing their core identity.
As Auburn prepares to transition to Nike, will the Tigers carry their now-beloved sash design into the future? Or will they hit the pitch this summer in a new, uniquely Auburn design?
