Boston College, Delaware, UConn, UMass (2025)

Better late than next season, here are the 2025 FBS uniforms covered on the this site. A few random notes:

  • All four teams made a few minor modifications, but no one made any major overhauls.
  • Boston College replaced the retro BC logo on the sleeves with stripes similar to what the Eagles wore in the Flutie era (albeit with the colors reversed.) The Welles Crouther memorial bandanna uniform was given a fresh look.
  • Delaware replaced the CAA patch with a Conference USA version for its first season in FBS and placed names on the back of the jerseys for the first time. The "Blue" Hens also added a black-and-silver "midnight collection" alternate that looks more at home in Las Vegas. Actually, it's not that bad. 
  • UConn may have set some sort of record with four different blue helmets: Husky head, white C, star-spangled C and cancer ribbon.
  • UMass slightly changed its road uniform. Remember that "Married ... With Children" episode where Al sinks a bunch of money into a shoe hotline? When it inevitably fails, Al responds by sinking even more money into it, only for it to fail even more. That sums up UMass' move to FBS pretty well, I'd say.

Central Connecticut, Colgate, Holy Cross, Merrimack, New Haven, Sacred Heart, Stonehill (2025)

 Some more New England FCS uniforms from the 2025 season. A few random notes:

  • Sacred Heart's alternate "Pios" logo, used for 2024's star-spangled helmets, became the base helmet logo in 2025.. (A shame, as there was nothing wrong with the "SHU" logo.) The Pioneers also broke out the 1990s hiking pioneer logo (an obvious paean to Pat Patriot) for a couple late-season games. The logo also was used on occasion in 2019. After a couple years of independence, SHU joins to Coastal Athletic Association for 2026. 
  • Merrimack ditched its navy blue shirts and made yellow the primary home color. The Warriors also ditched Under Armour for New Balance. (As a Maine alum, I say welcome aboard!)
  • Holy Cross' shield logo, which replaced the big "HC" logo on the purple helmets in 2024, was added to the white helmets in '25. (Again, a shame, as the big "HC" logo was a classic to these fading eyes.)
  • Colgate also added a shield logo to its helmets. Must be something in the Patriot League water. The logo is even tinier than Maine's.
  • New Haven joined the Division I ranks in 2025 and added a Northeast Conference logo patch to two of its three jerseys (sorry, yellow).

And now, the uniforms:

CAA (2025)


Next up for the uniforms of 2025 are New England's representatives in the Coastal Athletic Association, or as I like to call it, the Crumbling Athletic Association, since teams seem to be leaving left and right, usually for the Patriot League (William & Mary, Villanova, Richmond) or FBS (James Madison, Delaware). Hey, UMass, you can always come home. ...

Sacred Heart will join the league in 2026.

All four teams covered here didn't change their look much from last year, although I wonder why Maine doesn't wear its light blue alternates when the Black Bears recruits always wear them on social media.
