OVERVIEW
Elevating UTEP Volleyball for a New Era
As we transition into the Mountain West Conference, it was the perfect time to refresh our volleyball uniforms and introduce a look that reflects the program’s continued growth. With the team on an extraordinary trajectory and establishing itself as an elite powerhouse at UTEP, my goal was to develop a uniform system that matched that success while elevating our visual identity on the court. The refresh focused on creating a cohesive, modern look that balanced performance, versatility, and the pride of representing the Miners. Every detail was intentional, ensuring each uniform variation remained consistent with our brand while giving the team a distinctive presence as we entered this exciting new chapter.
The process began by working with Adidas Custom to develop several uniform top variations, including tank, long sleeve, and short sleeve options. The goal was to create a consistent look across every style while allowing each variation to serve the team’s needs. Subtle textures were incorporated throughout the designs to add depth and contrast without taking away from the overall look. From there, updated UTEP branding and numerals that align with our Miners font helped bring everything together. Each element was intentionally placed to create a cohesive design that felt modern, clean, and unmistakably UTEP, ensuring the team maintained a unified identity across every uniform combination.
A sport-specific throwback uniform rounded out the collection, bringing a classic look that celebrates the history and tradition of UTEP Athletics. The design adds a timeless element to the lineup, honoring the pride of wearing the Miners name while keeping the overall look clean and intentional.

It’s always rewarding to see the work come to life and make an impact in the real world. Focusing on the details and consistently applying our core UTEP brand identity has made a meaningful difference in how we represent the University. This is especially important as we transition into the Mountain West Conference and introduce our program to a broader audience.
