The Ole Miss football team has once again raised the bar with their new uniform. On Monday, head coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels revealed their latest look for the 2024 season, introducing a fresh twist to their uniform arsenal.
The highlight of the new reveal is a stunning white jersey featuring powder blue stripes and numbers, accented with the iconic red "Ole Miss" script logo. This design is part of the Rebels' ongoing "Drip in the Sip" campaign, which showcases their extensive and stylish uniform collection. The 2024 update brings a significant upgrade, blending tradition with modern flair.
For the first time in school history, Ole Miss has incorporated powder blue into their road jerseys. This new design uses Nike's advanced "Vapor F.U.S.E" template, ensuring both performance and style are at the forefront. The powder blue elements—previously seen only in home jerseys and helmets—now extend to the road uniforms, marking a significant and exciting expansion of the Rebels' color palette.
Since taking the helm in Oxford, Lane Kiffin has been instrumental in infusing new energy and creativity into the Rebels' uniforms. Monday's reveal is the latest in a series of innovative changes under his leadership, continuing to captivate fans and players alike.
The revival of powder blue in Ole Miss athletics began in the 2014 football season with the reintroduction of powder blue helmets during a game against the Memphis Tigers. Since then, this color has become an increasingly prominent part of the Rebels' identity across all sports. The addition of a powder blue home jersey in 2020 further cemented its place in the team's color scheme.
The 2024 Ole Miss road uniforms are a testament to the Rebels' commitment to style, tradition, and innovation.
The University of North Texas Mean Green football team has unveiled their new uniforms for the 2024 season, and they seamlessly blend classic elements with fresh updates. these uniforms promise to bring a renewed sense of pride and tradition to the team as they take the field.
The Mean Green's new uniforms maintain the team's iconic look while introducing a few significant changes. The latest shade of green, which has become a staple for UNT, continues to dominate the jerseys and pants. This vibrant hue reflects the team’s energy and commitment, offering fans a familiar yet invigorating visual experience.
One of the most noticeable updates is the addition of horizontal stripes on the shoulders. These stripes replace the numbers that adorned the shoulders in the previous season, giving the uniforms a sleeker, more streamlined look. The stripes add a dynamic and modern flair, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the jerseys.
UNT’s helmets have undergone a significant transformation as well. the helmets are showcased in a pristine white, adorned with striking green eagle wings. This bold design is not only visually stunning but also reinforces the Mean Green’s fierce and determined spirit.

The Baltimore Ravens have just added a stunning new piece to their uniform collection. the highly anticipated 'Purple Rising' helmet will make its debut this season for one special game.
"It's bad-ass man," tight end Mark Andrews commented. Wide receiver Zay Flowers added, "I know we look sweet, I don't even have to see it on camera."
In a recent episode of "The Lounge" podcast, Senior Vice President of Marketing Brad Downs explained the extensive process behind creating the new helmets. "We pay attention to all of that feedback from the fans, to really try to land on something they're going to love," Downs said. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. We know our fans have clamored for it. They just like new stuff. But our uniforms have a nice traditional feel and we've had a lot of success in them. We don't want to be that team that changes all the time. We like the tradition that we've built."
The team considered numerous designs before settling on the final version. "We had at least 14 options of helmets, and that doesn't even include swapping decals, locals, stripes. We narrowed it down to two, and this is the direction that we went," Downs shared.
Although the exact game when the Ravens will sport the new helmets remains a secret, Downs hinted that the announcement will come later. "We do [know which game], but we're going to save that one. Got to leave the fans wanting a little more. One game is the plan for this year."
The 'Purple Rising' helmet will be paired with the Ravens' color rush uniforms, perfectly complementing the existing look. "We're putting this on top of an existing uniform combination that we have," Downs explained. "We decided not to roll out a new alternate uniform with the alternate helmet."
Head Equipment Manager Kenico Hines played a crucial role in finalizing the design. "It's amazing how quick they can change out facemasks and decals. We looked at every finish you can imagine. We wanted to do something different. We looked at black helmets with different finishes. Just the way this purple color popped with that finish and matches the uniform, it's great. When we got the color and the finish out of the box, it was close to a no-brainer."
A distinctive feature of the new helmet is the forward-facing logo. "The logo will probably be a popular topic of the helmet," Downs noted. "While we don't use this logo a lot, the eyes are very iconic to the gameday experience. Our players run out for intros under the eyes. We felt like it was time to give this logo a little shine, if you will."
The helmet also boasts a gold face mask and gold talon stripes, adding a signature flair. "It wasn't always (going to be) gold," Downs revealed. "We had a black facemask. We had purple facemask options with black helmets. When we landed on the color rush, it made it a no-brainer to bring that gold facemask."
The players' reactions confirmed that the team had made the right choice. "Seeing the players' reaction was pretty cool," Downs said. "A little bit of validation, because you never know. There's going to be people that wanted a white version, that wanted a different black version, maybe wanted a gold version. It's a bit validating to see their reaction, it's cool."
Ravens fans can look forward to seeing their team don the eye-catching 'Purple Rising' helmet in an upcoming game next season, adding an exciting new element to the Ravens' storied uniform tradition.
TCU Football has revealed a brand-new set of uniforms and helmets for the UPCOMING season. This is the first complete refresh for the Horned Frogs since 2019, marking a significant moment in the team's visual identity.
The excitement began on Sunday night when TCU Athletics released a hype video that featured iconic figures and memorable moments from Horned Frog history.

The announcement also included an exciting update to the team's helmet options. The new set of chrome helmets offers two distinct designs. A purple frogskin pattern helmet with a silver horned frog and white arched TCU lettering. as well as A mirror silver chrome helmet featuring purple arched TCU lettering. These designs bring a modern and dynamic look to the Horned Frogs, blending traditional elements with contemporary flair.
While the new uniforms and helmets are a departure from the previous design, notably dropping the collar spikes, they harken back to the Horned Frogs' 2017 styling. This blend of old and new is a testament to TCU’s commitment to honoring its past while forging a fresh path forward.
TCU's new uniforms and helmets reflect a strategic shift towards a more streamlined and sophisticated look. This change is not just about aesthetics but also about setting a new tone for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. The minimalist design, combined with the striking new helmets, positions TCU Football to make a memorable impact on the field and in the hearts of their fans.
the Chiefs received their Super Bowl championship rings in an intimate ceremony at Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Over 400 personalized rings were handed out during the ceremony, each one a testament to the franchise's storied history. Crafted by Jostens, these rings are adorned with 529 diamonds, 38 rubies, and 14.8 carats of precious gems, made from 10-karat white and yellow gold.
The ring's top showcases the Chiefs' iconic arrowhead logo, crafted from 16 custom-cut rubies to symbolize the franchise's 16 division titles. The yellow gold arrowhead is set with 50 diamonds, and the Chiefs' four Super Bowl trophies are outlined prominently. Flanking the top are the words "WORLD" and "CHAMPIONS."
One side of the ring features the phrase "Back-to-back," the Super Bowl LVIII logo, and the game's final score. The other side is customized with the recipient's name, position, and the years the Chiefs won the Super Bowl (1969, 2019, 2022, 2023). Additionally, it includes an outline of GEHA Stadium.
Inside the ring top, unique details commemorate key moments and figures:
The game-winning play "Tom and Jerry" from Super Bowl LVIII, written in Andy Reid's handwriting.
The words "Loud" and "142.2" to symbolize the fervor of Chiefs Kingdom.
22 sequential diamonds representing the points scored in the second half and overtime of the Super Bowl LVIII win.
19 diamonds within the Super Bowl LVIII logo, reflecting 11 consecutive winning seasons and eight AFC West titles.
A commemorative patch honoring Norma Hunt ("NKH"), who passed away in June last year.
The inside of the ring also features the years the Chiefs won Super Bowl trophies, inscribed beneath the removable top. This includes three years for key players and coaches like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, and Andy Reid, who now aim for a fourth.
"The first thing I think of is how great last season was and the adversity we dealt with," Mahomes said before receiving his ring. "Then I'm going to think about how I can get another one for the pinkie finger. It's going to take a lot of hard work (to win three straight titles). It’s never been done before for a good reason. It takes a special group of guys, and I think we've got that group."
The Chiefs, the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls in nearly two decades, lost five starters from their championship team but retain a strong core with Mahomes, Kelce, Reid, and Jones.
With eyes set on making history in 2024, the Chiefs are ready to embark on the journey towards a potential third consecutive Super Bowl victory.

The University of Minnesota football team is set to turn heads in the upcoming 2024 season with the debut of their newly redesigned uniforms. This marks the first jersey relaunch for the Golden Gophers since their last update in February 2018.
the new Nike uniforms embrace Minnesota's traditional colors of maroon and gold, complemented by a sleek white option for road games. Additionally, the team will retain their popular alternate black uniforms, offering a versatile array of looks for the season.
Key updates include the addition of bold shoulder stripes and side stripes on the pants, adding a fresh dynamic to the jerseys. Each uniform features the state of Minnesota proudly displayed on the outside collar, while the rallying call "Ski-U-Mah" is emblazoned inside the collar, reinforcing team spirit.
The iconic Block M remains a centerpiece on the front of the jersey, positioned just above the numbers. The right chest bears the Big Ten logo, and the Nike swoosh graces the left chest and left hip, ensuring the uniforms carry a modern, cohesive branding.
The maroon jerseys will now sport gold numbers, a shift from the previous white numbering. Official colors for the uniforms are Night Maroon, University Gold, and White, and the team’s helmets will match these hues.
These new uniforms won’t just be making an impact on the field—they’ll also be featured in the highly anticipated EA Sports College Football 25 video game, bringing the Golden Gophers' updated look to fans worldwide.
The University of Minnesota's fresh uniforms symbolize a blend of tradition and modernity, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in Golden Gophers football. With these updates, the team is ready to make a statement both on and off the field.
The Minnesota Vikings have unveiled their highly anticipated "Winter Warrior" uniforms, setting a new standard for their alternate game day attire. This striking ensemble includes white jerseys and pants, paired with the franchise's first-ever white helmet, creating a crisp and commanding look on the field.
The new uniforms feature accents of metallic gray, including the face mask, and the team’s signature purple. This combination adds a modern and fierce edge to the Vikings’ traditional colors. The centerpiece of this look is the matte white helmet with a gray stripe, marking a significant milestone in the team’s uniform history.
Star wide receiver Justin Jefferson expressed his excitement about the new look with a blend of irony and enthusiasm. "It's fire," Jefferson said with a smile. "It's beautiful. The gray, the purple, of course being all white, they've got that clean look. But you know, it's a dirty game. So we're definitely looking to get those jerseys a little dirty," he laughed. "The matte white helmet with the gray stripe, I mean, it's beautiful. It's fire."
Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell was equally impressed. "Goodness gracious," he said upon first seeing the uniform against an Arctic-themed backdrop. "Our fans, they've gotta like these, right? These are sweet. I love the metallic. White helmets? I love it. Where's mine? Where's the coach's head-to-toe white warmup jumpsuit?" O'Connell quipped.
The introduction of the Winter Warrior uniforms caps a design process that began over two years ago. The initial concepts were created by Vikings Art Manager Jackie Ramacher, with the "Winter Whiteout" uniforms debuted in 2022 as a market test. The overwhelmingly positive response led to the development of the Winter Warrior look.
"We wanted to see, 'Would people embrace wearing all-white? How would it go?' Our fans loved it, and that's how we knew we really wanted to embrace this direction for our new alternate uniforms," said Vikings Creative Director Alicia Dreyer. "Some of the biggest feedback we got from fans with our Winter Whiteout was wanting to see an all-white helmet, but it's a two-year process to create new uniforms and helmets – so we appreciate people being patient with us."
The Winter Warrior uniforms feature a cool-toned color palette inspired by ancient Viking culture and the harsh Northern climate. Key design elements include metallic gray replacing gold, creating an icy, modern look. The numbers feature "dripping icicle" accents, a unique twist on the existing SKOL font serifs.
The helmet includes a metallic stripe as a modern interpretation of the riveted metal strips used in early battle helmets. "The ancient Vikings were innovative, creating new technologies for armor and weapons," Dreyer said. "The goal with new uniforms was to incorporate new techniques and finishes, which also includes the matte, metallic gray of the pant stripe."
The uniforms also include the VIKINGS wordmark on the chest in the SKOL font, and a Nordic knot design embroidered on the back neckline. This revised knot design features three shields, nodding to O'Connell's mantra: "Our Way. Our Team. Our Process."
"It's just been a really amazing process working the past two years with the NFL and Nike," Dreyer said. "It's so wonderful and gratifying to see it finally come to life. To go from initial concepts to actually showing this to our fans and wearing it for a game is so exciting."
The Winter Warrior uniforms will join The Vikings Classic as Minnesota's two alternate uniforms permitted by the NFL. Fans can look forward to seeing these stunning new uniforms on the field, embodying the spirit and resilience of both the Vikings and the state of Minnesota.
The Ottawa REDBLACKS are set to celebrate their 10th anniversary season in style with the official reveal of their new home uniforms.
“We are thrilled to kick off our 10th anniversary season by debuting these new uniforms in front of RNation,” said REDBLACKS President Adrian Sciarra. “Our new home set pays homage to the proud history of football in the nation’s capital, while serving as a modernized look that we can’t wait to show off under the lights at TD Place.”
The new uniforms are a modern tribute to the classic Ottawa Rough Riders, incorporating the storied tradition of football in Ottawa while introducing sleek, contemporary elements. The black jersey is the centerpiece, featuring bold, forward-facing white stripes with red outlines on the shoulders. The revamped ‘R’ logo, now without the original saw blade background, adorns the sides of the shoulders, adding a fresh yet nostalgic touch.
The new helmets will look familiar to fans, drawing inspiration from the Rough Rider-inspired specialty helmets. These helmets, featuring a white stripe with a red outline down the middle, debuted for one night only in 2022 and made appearances during the 2023 season. This retro-inspired helmet design will now be paired with the new home jersey, completing the iconic head-to-toe look.
To mark the 10th anniversary celebration, the front of the jersey includes a special 10th anniversary logo, positioned on the right side just above the “REDBLACKS” team name bar. This emblem also highlights the partnership with TD Bank, a founding partner of the REDBLACKS, celebrating a decade of collaboration in 2024.
As the REDBLACKS prepare for their milestone season, these new uniforms symbolize both a connection to their rich past and a step forward into the future, promising an exciting season for RNation.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have unveiled their latest uniform innovation: the Obsidian Green alternate jersey. Revealed at the Mosaic Stadium store, this new look aims to symbolize a new era for Rider Nation while paying homage to the team’s deep-rooted traditions and the dedicated fan base.
The dominant color of the new alternate jersey, Obsidian Green, has been subtly present for quite some time. Mark Habicht, the CFL team’s Director of Retail Operations and Licensing, explained, “Mosaic Stadium’s lower-bowl headwalls are Obsidian Green. We’ve kind of been playing our cards in plain sight.”
This shade was also featured in the 2022 Grey Cup Festival logo, hinting at its future prominence. “We introduced the color in the Grey Cup Festival logo because we liked it so much,” Habicht added.
The concept of an alternate uniform was first discussed over five years ago by a select group including Habicht, President-CEO Craig Reynolds, former Chief Brand Officer Anthony Partipilo, and Director of Marketing and Fan Engagement Miriam Johnson.
“The first meeting was as simple as, ‘Hey, we want to start talking about an alt jersey and an alt mark, potentially,’” Reynolds recalled. After considering a return to black, which had been used successfully in the past, the team decided to explore new avenues that stayed true to the Roughriders’ brand identity.
The new jerseys feature several symbolic design elements:
13 Kernels on the Wheat Sheaf: A tribute to the “13th Man,” representing the passionate fans.
RIDER NATION on the Helmet: For the first time, the team’s helmet will bear the phrase "RIDER NATION," symbolizing unity with the fans.
“The jersey fabric has been able to achieve something very unique. At different times, your eyes can see it as a different color. When the players are in the tunnel and it’s dark, it looks like they’re wearing black uniforms. As soon as they hit the light and the sun bounces off the uniform, the green pops,” Partipilo elaborated.
The alternate uniforms will be officially showcased on July 19 during the Green is the Colour Game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and again on October 26 against the Calgary Stampeders during the Fan Appreciation event.
Quarterback Trevor Harris, already donning the new look, shared his excitement: “There’s a fresh aura around the team and maybe this will help to energize the fan base and get them excited about the new logo.”
As the Roughriders embark on this new chapter, the unveiling of the Obsidian Green jersey marks the end of a long-held secret and the beginning of a vibrant new phase for the team and its fans. “It’s kind of like the end of Phase 1 and the beginning of Phase 2, so here we go,” Habicht concluded.
Baylor football is expanding its uniform lineup with the introduction of a striking new Anthracite option for the 2024 season. This fresh design incorporates unique elements that pay homage to some of the most memorable uniform combinations in the program’s history.
The new Anthracite jersey prominently features "BAYLOR" across the chest in bold gold lettering, with matching gold numbers. Adding a distinctive touch, the sleeves are adorned with a bear claw print, a tribute to the 2013-14 Big 12 Championship teams. This subtle yet meaningful design element connects the current squad with one of the most successful periods in Baylor’s recent history.
Complementing the jersey, the Anthracite pants break from tradition with a subtle stripe, offering a sleek contrast to the sharp green, white, and gold stripes of the core uniform pants. This understated design adds a modern twist while maintaining a cohesive look with the rest of the uniform.
The helmet for the Anthracite uniform features a front bumper with a Bear head, further emphasizing the team’s identity and pride. This new option will serve as a supplemental choice, adding variety to the primary Green, Gold, and White uniforms that remain Baylor’s core.
With the addition of the Anthracite uniform, Baylor continues to innovate while honoring its storied past. Fans can look forward to seeing the Bears take the field in this dynamic new look, blending tradition with modern style as they strive for excellence in the upcoming season.
