The UVA Baseball team will have seven different uniform looks for the 2025 season.

Meaning: I’m going to go broke trying to update my jersey collection.

First World problems there.

The plethora of new designs is the result of a new partnership between UVA Baseball and EvoShield®, which already serves as the program’s protective gear sponsor, providing elbow, leg, and hand guards, helmets, and sliding mitts, as well as batting gloves, catcher’s gear and bags.

“EvoShield® knows baseball,” Virginia coach Brian O’Connor said. “Seven of the eight programs in the 2024 College World Series, including us, are EvoShield partners, so it makes sense for us to build on our relationship with a company that has baseball in its DNA. Being baseball-focused, EvoShield® brings a level of design and understanding about what today’s college players want in uniforms and apparel that we haven’t previously experienced.”
