Miami University football is stepping onto the field with a look as storied as its tradition. On November 12, the RedHawks will debut their new Cradle of Coaches uniforms, a striking tribute to the program’s rich history of leadership, innovation, and excellence.
Trading their familiar red-and-white look for a design steeped in legacy, Miami’s special edition uniforms feature red, white, and gold stripes on both the jersey and pants. The iconic red helmet adds a gold face mask and a throwback arched block “MIAMI” wordmark, a nod to the design used from the 1920s through the 1970s across multiple sports.
“Miami has long been home to the Cradle of Coaches, legendary figures who set the gold standard in the game of football,” said Miami Director of Athletics David Sayler. “We are honored to pay tribute to their legacy with these very unique uniforms.”
Each jersey also includes a gold NFC chip patch, an innovative addition that digitally commemorates the Cradle of Coaches legacy. The nickname itself was coined by Bob Kurz, a 1958 Miami graduate and former sports information director, whose 1983 book “Miami of Ohio: The Cradle of Coaches” chronicled how Miami alumni revolutionized the sport through their leadership on and off the field.
The RedHawks will debut the uniform under the lights at Yager Stadium on November 12, when they host Toledo in a key MAC matchup.
