UCF Unveils 2025 Core Football Uniforms
The UCF Knights have officially ushered in a bold new era with the release of their 2025 core football uniforms, an unveiling that perfectly balances heritage, innovation, and identity. Designed on Nike’s state-of-the-art Vapor F.U.S.E. template, the new look is more than just a uniform; it’s a statement. One that speaks to UCF’s evolution as a program and their unrelenting commitment to defining themselves on their own terms.
At the center of this redesign is the introduction of Knighted Eras, a brand-new custom typeface that’s bigger, bolder, and brimming with purpose. Inspired by defining moments throughout UCF history, this type of treatment isn’t just for looks; it’s forged from championship DNA, from Bortles to Boom, and from 2013’s Fiesta Bowl glory to the Big 12 battlegrounds of today.
The jersey numbers are a time capsule in themselves. The drop shadow design takes direct influence from UCF’s 1998 threads, a subtle yet powerful nod to the program’s early days in Division I football. The notches embedded in the numbers—originally introduced in 2013—mimic the block “KNIGHTS” wordmark found in the Bounce House’s end zones, tying the visual identity of the stadium to the team’s on-field look. And with the larger number size reminiscent of the 2016–2021 seasons, visibility and presence are turned all the way up.
The uniform’s shoulder design reintroduces an iconic piece of UCF’s aesthetic arsenal: oversized Pegasus wings, first seen in the fan-favorite 2023 “Mission VII” space game uniforms. Sleek, aggressive, and symbolic of flight and freedom, the wings span from the collar to the upper bicep, reinforcing the Knights’ ambitions to rise above the rest.
But perhaps the most meaningful design element is found in the details of the pants. Each leg proudly displays three Polaris stars, representing UCF’s past, present, and future. These stars are more than celestial symbols—they’re anchors in UCF’s journey, grounding the team in its legacy while pointing toward what’s next.
Built on Nike’s Vapor F.U.S.E. chassis, the 2025 uniforms deliver a modernized fit and performance edge. The cut is tailored for speed, with minimal seams for maximum movement and breathability. But it's not just tech—this template gives UCF the canvas to elevate its storytelling, from shoulder to sock.
And yes, shoulder numbers are back—another classic touch making a comeback that fans will love.
Whether in crisp white or black, this uniform package speaks fluently in UCF’s core color palette. The contrast is clean. The detailing is sharp. And the overall effect is futuristic without being flashy—a disciplined, confident kit that doesn’t need gimmicks to get noticed.
UCF’s new core uniform is a masterclass in modern college football design: rooted in history, elevated through innovation, and unapologetically Knight. Welcome to the next chapter—Knight Nation, suit up.
