An Ode To History: UPWBT and TITAN Unveil New Jerseys for UAAP Season 87
Posted by TITAN on
With major unfinished business on the table, the UP Women’s Basketball Team (UPWBT) is looking to take a bold step forward in the upcoming UAAP season - while looking back and paying homage to history.
In the second year of their partnership, the UPWBT and their official outfitter, TITAN, are bringing two wholly different on-court looks to Season 87.
The EXCELLENCE JERSEY in white stays close to last year’s design, highlighted by a set of arrows pointing in an upward direction - meant to signify a commitment to building on last year’s breakthrough into the Final Four and seeking higher success.
This year’s dark kit, the HONOR JERSEY, features an iconic maroon shade and a throwback theme inspired by the last UPWBT teams to hoist the UAAP title - the four-peat Lady Maroons of Season 43-46 (1981-1984). Paying homage to that legendary run 40 years ago, the set celebrates UP’s enduring legacy and excellence; a reminder that every athlete who wears the uniform carries forward those core values.
Inspired by the past, but engineered for present and future achievement, the HONOR JERSEY is created with lightweight materials, a modern performance cut, with stitched-on patching and piping details lifted straight from the dynastic UPWBT of the 80’s.
This year’s roster brings together a mix of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers who are primed to deliver another remarkable season of women’s basketball - including rookie Deer Valley Titan Camille Nolasco, National Team member Louna Ozar, and returning captain Shanina Tapawan.
The rest of the roster includes Christie Bariquit, Achrissa Maw, Kaye Pesquera, Rizza Lozada, Erika Jimenez, Marielle Vingno, BB Mendiola, RR Solitario, Joy Quinquinio, Arianne Sauz, Carla, Mendoza, Riomay Cuenca, Danielle Santos, Alexandra Mendoza, and AJ Castro.
