Athletic Uniforms

Understanding that change in style is a constant with athletic uniforms, and depending upon vendor availability, below are guidelines for the design and ordering of athletic uniforms.

Colors
All* athletic uniforms will be in USM blue or white with USM gold used as an accent color if available. See color reproduction section in this manual for detailed information. Exact Pantone Matching System (PMS) color matches are not necessary if unavailable. Request that uniform vendors achieve the closest possible match.

Logos and word marks
The primary "Southern Maine Huskies" logo must appear on all athletic uniforms. For some sports it may appear as a full chest image. For sports such as baseball, basketball, or tennis it will appear on the sleeve, short, or left chest.

Two additional word marks are available for sports that require the name of the team to appear above a team member's number. The "Huskies" and "Southern Maine" word marks are the only options for this purpose. See the section below on typography for numbers and names for detailed information.

The interlocking "USM" logo may also appear on uniforms or hats if space permits, but ideally should not be the most dominant logo on a uniform. Examples of appropriate usage include baseball and softball hats, field hockey skirts, or basketball collars.

See the usage guidelines for correct usage of these logos and word marks.

Typography for numbers and names
All numbers, names, and any other required language that appears on athletic uniforms must be set in Futura Bold or Futura Condensed Bold.

Approval
All athletic uniforms must be approved by the director of Athletics and Recreation. Obtain a uniform proof and proposed fabric color swatches from the selected vendor for approval before production. After approval, a confirmation will be given and uniforms may then be ordered.

* Baseball and softball may have gray uniforms.
