OT: How do teams decide which uniforms they’re going to wear?

Post by Golddore68 »

I was wondering how teams decide which uniforms they’re going to wear.

Watching the Virginia-UT game, both teams are wearing white pants. UT has white tops and Virgina has orange tops. They have similar school colors.

I know UT has orange pants and gray pants. I’ve seen them wearing those uniforms before. Virginia no doubt probably has different color pants too. I think it’s odd when both teams wear the same color pants when they have different options. Do they get together with the other team and tell them which uniforms they’re planning on wearing? I wonder.

I have noticed that Vanderbilt usually wears the black pin-striped uniform in the first game of a series. They also have gold tops and white pants, and a third option.

Corbin’s first CWS win, as I recall, came in a game when Vanderbilt was wearing patriotic uniforms with red and blue on them. Those aren’t technically our school colors, but I liked those uniforms.
