UCF football announced a new era on social media June 24.
Before the first season of Scott Frost’s second tenure in charge of the program, the Knights unveiled new Nike core uniforms, blending a few classic elements with a modern look that “pays homage to multiple eras in UCF football history.”
Linebacker Keli Lawson (No. 0) and tight end Kylan Fox (No. 1) modeled the threads.

The most striking change for UCF’s new uniforms is the bold typeface used for the numbers, known as “Knighted Eras.”
The gold drop shadow harkens back to 1998 when Daunte Culpepper became the first player in program history to finish top-10 in Heisman Trophy voting. Notches in the numerals were first introduced in 2013 when the Knights won the American Athletic Conference for the first time and defeated Baylor 52-42 in the Fiesta Bowl. The sizing resembles those of UCF’s jerseys used from 2016-21, which is also the last time the Knights had numbers on their shoulders.
There are several space-influenced touches as well. The oversized Pegasus wings, brought back from the 2023 Mission VII Space Game uniform, embodies the university’s “vision of limitless possibilities in reaching for the stars and soaring to new heights.” The Polaris star formation can be found inside the jersey numbers, and three stars line the left pant leg to represent UCF’s past, present and future.
