Nike Golf unveiled its newly designed custom uniforms for nine of the top golf programs in the country who will compete in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships starting May 29 at the Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida. The players will sport the new uniforms on the first and last days of the tournament.
Designers at Nike Golf spent time with representatives from each school to identify the team’s favorite logos then used them to create the new uniforms.
As part of the customization process, each player selected his own number to be displayed on his uniform, a practice not formerly adopted by golf teams. The number blocking system borrows from each school’s football team uniforms. The polo shirts also include the teams’ respective conference logos.
Teams from the West Coast, including the University of Oregon, Stanford University, the University of Sothern California and the University of Washington, feature specially designed uniforms based on the Nike Afterburner Polo with a fade pattern in team colors.
Designs for the University of Texas, Vanderbilt University and the University of Oklahoma use the Nike Commander Polo. Each shirt features the school’s secondary color on the sleeves.
The University of Georgia and Duke University will wear the Nike Major Moment Polo, the same polo worn by Rory McIlroy at The Masters, in their school colors.
Each team will also be outfitted in a custom Tour Mesh Hat featuring the logo and Nike True Tour Cap with the team’s mascot.
These uniforms are not available for purchase and are specially designed for the NCAA Championship players.
