UH Men's Volleyball Unveils Striking 'Black Tapa' Uniforms
Hey everyone, have you seen the latest from the University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team? The Rainbow Warriors are turning heads once again — not just for their dominance on the court, but now for their fresh and meaningful style. The team just unveiled their brand-new “black tapa” jerseys, and let me tell you — they are fire.
These aren’t just any uniforms. The black tapa design is a bold, cultural statement that blends tradition with modern flair. You might remember the white tapa jerseys they sported earlier this season — sleek, symbolic, and incredibly popular with fans. Well, this new black version takes it to a whole new level. The darker tones make the tapa patterns pop even more, creating a powerful visual that speaks to strength, unity, and heritage.

The debut of these jerseys is timed perfectly, too. They’ll be worn for the first time this Saturday, when UH takes on none other than number one ranked Long Beach State at the Stan Sheriff Center. It’s going to be an electric atmosphere, and these jerseys are sure to add to the hype.
Middle blocker Kurt Nusterer expressed just how much this means to the team. When he first joined the squad, there were only a few jersey options. Now, with around 30 different designs — each with cultural elements and fan engagement in mind — it shows how much the program has evolved. Nusterer said he feels lucky that the community is so involved and supportive, especially in celebrating local culture through sports.
And here's something fans will love — just like the white tapa jerseys, these black tapa versions will be available for auction. The bidding opens Thursday and wraps up on April 14. So if you want a piece of this special season and a truly unique jersey, this is your chance.
Details on the auction are coming soon via Hawai‘i Athletics, so stay tuned.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just appreciate the blend of culture and sport, the black tapa jerseys are a proud moment for UH and Hawai‘i as a whole. It’s more than just a uniform — it’s a symbol of identity, pride, and connection to the community. Can't wait to see them in action on Saturday!
