Purdue Unveil New Football Uniforms for 2024
the Purdue Boilermakers unveiled their new football uniforms for the 2024 season, and they have a distinctly nostalgic feel. The initial release includes just two different helmets, jerseys, and pants, but there may be more options revealed later.
The new uniforms evoke memories of the Joe Tiller era, a period of glory for the Boilermakers with Drew Brees at quarterback. However, there are notable updates to the design, particularly in the uniform striping.
There are two helmet options: gold and black. The gold helmet features a black/white/black striping pattern, with two thin gold stripes dividing the black and white. Both sides of the helmet have the classic italic “P” logo. The black helmet follows a similar design but with a gold/white/gold striping pattern, separated by thin black stripes. It also features the iconic “P” logo.
The home uniform pairs the gold helmets with black jerseys and gold pants, with striping that mirrors the helmet design. The jersey has thick block white numbers outlined in gold, a large “PURDUE” wordmark across the chest in gold, and gold/white/gold sleeve stripes with thin black separators. The TV numbers are white and placed on the shoulders.
The road uniform includes a black helmet, white jerseys, and pants COMBINATION. The design is identical to the home uniform, with thick black block numbers outlined in gold, “PURDUE” in black block font on the front, and black/gold/black sleeve stripes separated by thin white stripes. The back of the jersey matches the front design, with black TV numbers on the shoulders. The helmets feature a neck bumper reading “BOILER UP” and a warning label in the shape of an old coal-fired locomotive.
The unveiling of only two uniform combinations is a refreshing change. The full striping pattern on the helmet, jersey, and pants is a nod to tradition, contrasting with the trend of stripeless designs.
The updates are welcomed by fans who appreciate Purdue's traditional look. The gold/black/gold combination for home games and the black/white/white for road games are both well-received.
