ECU Black 'Night of Boneyard' Uniform
In a thrilling and highly-anticipated reveal, East Carolina's football team has pulled back the curtain on their sleek new black uniforms, sending waves of excitement through the fanbase just in time for the upcoming clash against the SMU Mustangs. This electrifying announcement, made during the open week, has set the stage for an unforgettable 'Night of the Boneyard' on October 12th, as the Pirates prepare to face off against SMU at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
As two players emerge from the traditional purple smoke, the new black uniforms make a bold statement. Drawing inspiration from 'modern throwbacks,' the uniforms seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary design elements. The sleek black fabric serves as the canvas for a multi-colored stripe on the sleeve, with gold outlining and accenting a vibrant purple stripe. This same striking stripe is mirrored on the sides of the black pants, adding a dynamic touch to the overall ensemble.
The jersey, a key element in any football uniform, features "EAST CAROLINA" emblazoned in crisp white across the chest. A white number, shadowed with a regal purple outline, adds depth and contrast. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that the team's identity is boldly displayed, even in the darkest of uniforms. The black helmet, a crowning glory, proudly features the iconic ECU Jolly Roger logo with a purple facemask, creating a striking visual centerpiece.
This unveiling marks the return of black uniforms for the Pirates, a momentous occasion since 2019, coinciding with Head Coach Mike Houston's inaugural year with the program. While the team donned black uniforms for the last four years, the new version, a collaborative effort with Adidas and ECU's creative team, represents a fresh chapter in the team's sartorial journey.
As East Carolina's football team gears up for the 'Night of the Boneyard' in their new black uniforms, fans can expect more than just a game; they're in for a visual spectacle that pays homage to tradition while embracing the energy of the present.
