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.

The Miami Hurricanes are embracing their storied past with the unveiling of their new 2024 Adidas uniforms, a tribute to the power era of "The U." As head coach Mario Cristobal enters his third season with the Hurricanes, he is armed with his best roster yet and now, a classic look that harkens back to Miami’s glory days.
Miami revealed the updated uniforms showcasing several uniform combinations, including green, white, and orange jerseys paired with matching pants.
"Minor updates to a classic look," Miami's official football account noted on social media. The most noticeable change is the replacement of Miami's shield logo at the jersey's crest with the iconic "U" emblem, a symbol deeply ingrained in the team’s identity..
"I know what Miami is and should be," Cristobal told Late Kick host Josh Pate earlier this year. "I was a very fortunate young man to be a part of it. And so when you're at a distance and fortunate to have success at other places, it hurts you. It does. We're finally like, 'Enough is enough.' We're only on this Earth one time and just could not go to the grave without getting back to Miami and being a part of making Miami what it should always be."
Miami is not the first Adidas-affiliated school to unveil a new look this summer. Texas Tech also opted for a retro style, incorporating a varied stitch pattern with block lettering. This trend signifies a broader movement among Adidas schools to blend classic designs with modern athletic wear technology.
As the Miami Hurricanes gear up for the 2024 season, the return to a classic look serves as a visual reminder of the program's rich history and Cristobal’s mission to restore its greatness. The fusion of tradition and innovation in their new uniforms symbolizes the Hurricanes' commitment to excellence both on and off the field.

Boise State has revealed its refreshed uniforms for the 2024 season. Alongside the new uniform style, Boise State has also announced the color combinations fans can expect the football team to wear for each game this season, as well as the coordinated fan colors.
The Broncos will sport uniforms from the state-of-the-art Nike Vapor F.U.S.E (Field Utility Special Edition) line, which combines lightweight fabric technology and research-backed innovation with a precision fit for ultimate performance on the field. Players have already noticed a significant difference from last year’s uniforms, citing the improved lightweight fabric and snug fit.
Several updates have been made to the uniforms to enhance both aesthetics and functionality:
Increased Font Size: The "Boise State" font on the front of the jersey is slightly larger, approximately 1/8 inch.
Larger Script on Pants: The "Broncos" script on the pants is slightly larger and longer, approximately 1/8 inch.
Shoulder Stripe Adjustment: The shoulder stripes, previously applied at an angle, now surround the arm.
Color Reversal: The colors of the shoulder stripes have been reversed compared to the 2023 uniforms.
Shoulder Numbers: For the first time since 2006, jersey numbers have been added to the top of the shoulder.
The design elements from previous uniforms remain, including the blue collar featuring the wordmark “Blue Collar” on each jersey.
Boise State, with the sixth-best all-time winning percentage (.725) among all FBS programs, has based its refreshed uniform design on maintaining the consistency and tradition that have contributed to their impressive record. Since 2000, no western team has come close to matching Boise State’s 249 wins.
Jeramiah Dickey, Boise State's Athletic Director, emphasized the importance of retaining the traditional look established in their previous design, including the all-blue look and the Dark Mode concept. He also mentioned the possibility of using different combinations, including a retro throwback of blue helmets, orange jerseys, and blue pants reminiscent of the Dirk Koetter era. The team has worked closely with EA Sports to ensure the updated look and combinations will be available in the new College Football 25 game.
For the 2024 season, the Broncos have blue, orange, white, and black jerseys, pants, and helmets, creating 64 different possible combinations.
— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) July 9, 2024
The gold is coming back to the Burgundy & Gold in a big way during the 2024 season. In a nod to the franchise's storied history, the Washington Commanders are reintroducing their signature gold pants as part of their uniform combinations this year. This decision comes after numerous fans expressed their desire to see the iconic look return.
While the specific games in which players will don the gold pants have yet to be determined, the excitement among the fan base is palpable. The gold pants, matching the solid color design of the burgundy and black pants already in the team's wardrobe, will be a regular part of the color combination for the first time since 2018. The last appearance of these pants was in Week 17 of the 2018 season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Historically, Washington's gold pants have been a cornerstone of the franchise's identity since the team moved from Boston to the DMV in 1937. The franchise enjoyed some of its most successful years while wearing them, including two NFL championship seasons in 1937 and 1942.
After the 1978 season, the Commanders moved away from the gold pants, opting for either burgundy or white for the next 31 years. There were a few exceptions in 1994, 2002 (to honor the team's 70th anniversary), 2003, and 2007. The gold pants made a more consistent return as a primary uniform color in 2010, starting with a memorable Week 1 home win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, and remained a staple for the next eight seasons.
The revival of the gold pants is not just a fashion statement; it is a tribute to the team's rich legacy and a way to honor the memories of past triumphs. As the Washington Commanders gear up for the 2024 season, fans can look forward to seeing their team shine in the classic gold pants once again, bringing a touch of history back to the field.
Stay tuned for more updates on which games will feature the gold pants, and get ready to cheer on the Commanders as they blend tradition with the future.

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.

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 2024 North Texas Mean Green uniforms strike a perfect balance between tradition and innovation. With their vibrant colors, bold designs, and meaningful logos, these uniforms are set to make a powerful statement on the field.
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.
