The UCF Knights have unveiled the highly-anticipated uniforms for the “Mission VII” Space Game. UCF is synonymous with the space industry due to its proximity to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center.
For UCF’s 7th Space Game, the team is switching things up. For the first time, the Knights will wear “Canaveral blue,” in a “Reaching New Horizons” theme. This will be the Knights’ first Space Game as a member of the Big 12 conference.

The light blue jerseys say “Space U” in white across the chest. In a nod to the space theme, the arch on the upper right portion of the digits mirrors the trajectory of rocket launches as seen from the UCF campus. The white layer represents clouds in the sky, the silver layer stands for “night glow,” and the black represents deep space. The pants have a stripe that shows a rocket blasting from the sky to the stars.
Paired with the “Canaveral blue” uniforms, the team will don white helmets with the UCF logo on either side.
The Knights have yet to lose a Space Game, winning the 2022 match against the Temple Owls by a score of 70-13.
The 2023 Space Game will take place on Nov. 11 against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
