Fans will have the opportunity to design a set of University of Hawaii women's basketball uniforms, which will be worn for a game and then auctioned off for a fundraiser.
In collaboration with Uni Watch, fans from all over the world will have the chance to enter the contest. The winner will have their uniforms worn by the team, as well as a cash prize of $1500, roundtrip airfare to Honolulu and accommodation for a Rainbow Wahine basketball game on Jan. 25, the day of the game. If the winning jersey is designed by an Oahu resident, a roundtrip neighbor island voucher will be awarded.
