We live in an age of surprise releases by major artists and have a very social media-savvy football staff, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise that our new football uniforms may have just been tested on the general public via an otherwise innocuous tweet from Bronco Mendenhall.

Streaking the Lawn reached out to the University to inquire if these are, in fact, our new duds, and they deflected with the response that the program often receives uniform mockups from their vendors. Fair enough. What we do know is that there’s at least a mockup of a sweet, retro-looking home and away set featuring the long-lusted after white helmet hanging out in the office complex somewhere.
I’m all for a change, in the sense that I hope what we see in September to in no way resembles the program of the preceding decade or so, and that includes the presentation (hint to the Gameday Ops people).
