The University of North Carolina baseball team has been crowned the champion of our 5th Annual D1 Uniform Tournament!
Over the last 8 days, our followers on Instagram and Twitter have been voting in a single elimination tournament for their favorite college baseball uniforms via the poll feature on Twitter and Instagram stories. Each round, our followers voted for their favorite uniforms in a head to head matchup, and the team with the most total votes between both Instagram and Twitter advanced to the next round.
After 2.3 MILLION total votes, the Tar Heels were declared this year's champion.

Winner's Corner
North Carolina joins both Vanderbilt and Ole Miss as the third school to win this voting tournament. In 2019, we announced a new rule that the winner of the Uniform Voting Tournament would have to sit out the following year, which is why Ole Miss did not participate in this year's tournament. This means that Ole Miss is eligible to participate in the 2022 tournament, while North Carolina will have wait until 2023 to reclaim their title.
Always Grind
We would like to say a special thank you to Always Grind for sponsoring this voting tournament!
