All Six AUSL Teams Unveil 2026 Uniforms in League-Wide Drop

NEW YORK — All six Athletes Unlimited Softball League teams dropped their 2026 uniform photos on Tuesday, April 21, with every club publishing first-look galleries on the same day — the first public view of Adidas-designed league gear with six weeks until the season begins.

Six Teams, One Drop

The coordinated release covered both home and road sets across all six franchises. The Oklahoma City Spark revealed blue road jerseys, modeled by catcher Kinzie Hansen and utility player Maya Brady. The Texas Volts showed purple road uniforms with infielder Sierra Romero and outfielder Amanda Lorenz. The Utah Talons unveiled green home uniforms, with infielder Hannah Flippen and outfielder Jayda Coleman in the photo shoot.

The Chicago Bandits released their road set with infielder Erin Coffel and pitcher Kat Sandercock modeling. The Carolina Blaze unveiled home uniforms in Durham with Aleshia Ocasio and Ana Gold. The Portland Cascade dropped road uniforms with Sam Landry and Sis Bates. Complete galleries for each team are available at theausl.com on each club’s news page.

Adidas as League Outfitter

Adidas supplies on-field uniforms, footwear, and performance apparel for all six clubs under a multi-year agreement finalized earlier in 2026. The company called the deal “a significant investment in the continued growth of professional softball.” Allen Kee photographed the Spark’s reveal through ESPN Images, signaling the production level the league is bringing to its visual identity launch.

Having a single outfitter across all six teams is a structural statement: every AUSL club steps onto the field in the same brand family, a baseline of professional uniformity the league is building its identity on heading into its first full city-based season. The previous touring format meant games in 12 different cities in 2025; 2026 brings permanent home markets, permanent home stadiums, and now permanent home looks.

Opening Day Matchups

All six teams open on June 9, split into three simultaneous home-and-away pairs. The Spark host the Volts in Oklahoma City. The Talons host the Bandits in Salt Lake City — a rematch of the 2025 AUSL Championship game. The Blaze open at home in Durham against the Cascade, who play their first road game of the season in North Carolina.

Which players wear which jerseys on June 9 won’t be determined until after the AUSL College Draft on May 4, when Commissioner Kim Ng oversees the selection of the league’s inaugural city-based rosters. Fifteen players currently hold golden tickets — automatic selections that let each team secure top college talent before the general draft rounds begin. The draft airs live on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. ET.

Looking Ahead

The league has not announced alternate or special-event uniforms for the 2026 season. The uniform drop is the final major visual identity reveal before the college draft on May 4 reshuffles which players wear which franchise’s gear come June 9.
