UAB Uniform Schedule 2026: Every Jersey and When the Blazers Wear It

UAB has worn four different combinations in four games, and the one rule we can see so far is that the Blazers do not mind wearing white at home. This is the full UAB 2026 uniform schedule: the green and white jerseys, the metallic gold and green helmets, every game played so far and the expected look for the rest of the season, starting with the cross-town game against Samford at Protective Stadium on October 3. We update this page as each combination is confirmed.

The UAB 2026 Uniform Sets

UAB's colors are green and old gold, and the Blazers use all three main pieces, green, white and gold, in just about every combination. The pants are where it gets busy: white, gold, green and gold again in four games. The BLAZERS wordmark runs down the side of the pants, and the gold helmet has been the default.

The surprise is the white at home. UAB wore the green jersey for the home opener against ULM, then came out in white with gold pants for the Friday night Salute to Service game against Navy at Protective Stadium. It worked. The Blazers beat Navy 24-20 for the first time in program history.

More on our Navy 2026 uniform schedule.

October 3 vs. Samford. Green or white expected. Family Weekend and the cross-town game against Samford, 3:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN+. It is also UAB's fourth annual Smile-A-Mile game for childhood cancer awareness, and the school has announced one confirmed detail: instead of their own names, UAB players will wear the names of Smile-A-Mile patients on the backs of their jerseys, and the program posted the full list of player and patient pairings. The colors have not been announced, so the cell stays unstarred. Samford is also from Birmingham, and the Bulldogs wear red and blue, so either UAB jersey works.

October 10 at Memphis. White expected. Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, with the kickoff time and network (ESPN2 or ESPNU) to be set after the October 3 games. Our Memphis 2026 uniform schedule has the Tigers.

October 15 vs. East Carolina. Green or white expected. Homecoming on a Thursday night, 7:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN or ESPN2. The home date most likely to bring something extra if UAB has it planned. See our East Carolina 2026 uniform schedule.

October 24. Bye.

October 31 at South Florida. White expected. Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, kickoff time still to be set. Our South Florida 2026 uniform schedule has the Bulls.

November 7 vs. Charlotte. Green or white expected. Kids Takeover at Protective Stadium. Charlotte's primary color is also green, which makes the white jersey the more likely call.

November 14 at Temple. White expected. Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. See our Temple 2026 uniform schedule.

November 21 vs. UTSA. Green or white expected. Senior Day and the regular season home finale. Our UTSA 2026 uniform schedule has the Roadrunners.

November 28 at North Texas. White expected. The regular season finale at DATCU Stadium in Denton. More on our North Texas 2026 uniform schedule.

Green or White at Home?

That is the open question for the rest of the UAB schedule. The Blazers have played two home games and worn two different jerseys: green over gold against ULM, then white over gold against Navy. UAB has not published a season uniform grid, so the grid above lists both for every home date. The road is simpler. UAB has worn white in both road games so far, under the gold helmet at Illinois and the green helmet at Louisiana. We will add a star as each combination is confirmed.

The Bottom Line

Four games into 2026, UAB has worn green and white jerseys, gold and green helmets and white, gold and green pants, and only the gold helmet has repeated more than twice. The white over gold look against Navy was the best of the bunch and came with the biggest win of the season. The questions left are which jersey the Blazers pick for the rest of the home schedule, Homecoming against East Carolina in particular, and whether the green helmet comes back. The grid above has every date, and we add a star as each uniform is confirmed.
