The workmark PIRATES lettering across the chest ties three decades of uniform elements together. We see the striping pattern from the 1990’s on the sleeves, pants and helmets.
The white helmet will have purple cursive Pirates logos on each side that were worn during the 1970's. To go along with a gold face mask, two purple and one gold stripe down the center of the helmet as well as the ECU 1990's logo will be placed on the helmet bumper.
"I designed a "Modern Throwback" uniform with the intention of connecting multiple decades of Pirate Football.

Each element represents a moment in time and will remind fans of their early Pirate Football memories!"- Will Treadway
