ULM moves beyond maroon, embraces black uniforms – The Hawkeye

Uniforms are more than just fashion, representing a team’s identity and pride. Every team has their own uniform that sets them apart from other schools. Although ULM’s team colors are maroon and gold, our sports programs have adopted black uniforms, sparking excitement.

From football fields to basketball courts, ULM athletes now wear black uniforms. The recent unveiling of our new black football uniforms on Sept. 7 generated lots of publicity. But what is behind this trend, and why are so many teams, including ours, going for black uniforms?
