University of Hawaii Women’s Basketball Debuts Fan-Designed Uniforms
The University of Hawaii women’s basketball team is set to make history this Saturday as they take to the court wearing fan-designed uniforms for the first time ever. The Rainbow Wahine will face off against the University of California, Irvine during the highly anticipated event, "Beeman’s Bigger Bash."
This annual event, named after head coach Laura Beeman, aims to break the single-game attendance record for UH women’s basketball. Last year, the event brought in over 5,000 fans, marking the highest attendance for the program in 20 years. The all-time record, however, dates back to 1998, when 6,192 fans packed the arena to cheer on the Rainbow Wahine. This year, the team is rallying fans to surpass that historic milestone.
Adding to the excitement, UH is the first college program in the nation to hold a nationwide uniform design contest, inviting fans to submit their creative visions. The contest garnered an impressive 125 submissions, with designs reflecting the spirit and culture of Hawaii.
The winning design, dubbed the “sUHrf City” uniform, was created by Isaac Daggett, a talented fan from Colorado Springs. Daggett’s design captures the essence of the islands and the pride of the Rainbow Wahine. To celebrate his achievement, UH will fly Daggett to Hawaii to attend Saturday’s game, where he will be honored on the court in front of thousands of fans.
“Beeman’s Bigger Bash” promises to be a night of thrilling basketball and community spirit, with fans encouraged to come out in full force to support the team and experience this groundbreaking moment. The debut of the “sUHrf City” uniform not only highlights the connection between the team and its passionate fanbase but also sets a new standard for fan engagement in collegiate sports.
Tip-off against UC Irvine is set for Saturday evening, and all eyes will be on the Rainbow Wahine as they chase victory and aim to make history both on and off the court. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this record-breaking event and witness the debut of a uniform designed by the fans, for the fans.
