Move over, basic uniforms, UC Davis just dropped a jersey that’s basically a love letter to Lake Tahoe’s environmental magic.

The school’s athletic department isn’t just slapping on a cool design; they’re making a serious statement with their Bold Aqua alternate kit. Featuring a vibrant blue colorway and a reimagined “CA” logo framed by Lake Tahoe’s iconic outline, these jerseys are part of a deeper mission to spotlight the university’s groundbreaking Tahoe Environmental Research Center.

More Than Just Athletic Swag

Athletic Director Rocko DeLuca isn’t messing around. “We in Athletics strive to match the excellence of our institution’s groundbreaking work,” he declared, highlighting how these jerseys represent the Aggies’ commitment to innovation and environmental impact.

Behind the Design

The jersey isn’t just eye candy. By incorporating the lake’s silhouette, UC Davis is literally wearing their research and commitment on their sleeve. Football and soccer teams will be rocking these kits during upcoming Tahoe-themed games, turning athletic wear into a canvas for environmental storytelling.

Field Trips with Purpose

As part of this jersey partnership, student athletes will be visiting the north and west shore research facilities. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about connecting athletes directly with the environmental research happening at their doorstep.

So whether you’re a die-hard Aggies fan or just appreciate killer design with a purpose, these jerseys are proving that college athletics can be about way more than just the game. Lake Tahoe, we see you, and so does UC Davis.
