Tulane Football is taking its hometown pride to a whole new level. The Green Wave revealed their City Edition uniform and a stunning hand-painted helmet that the team will wear for this year’s Homecoming game on Saturday, November 15. These special-edition looks celebrate the culture, history, and unmistakable spirit of the Crescent City.
The centerpiece of this year’s City Edition release is the hand-painted helmet, created by renowned artist Armando Villarreal. The Tulane helmet captures the essence of New Orleans. The light gray base features cracked detailing inspired by the city’s historic sidewalks, while the street tile font spelling “Tulane” on each side pays homage to the city’s iconic signage. Hand-painted Mardi Gras beads wrap around the shell, giving each helmet its own unique personality; no two are exactly alike. A wrought iron-inspired stripe runs across the top, echoing the elegant designs found throughout New Orleans architecture. Even the back warning label nods to the Sewerage & Water Board logo, adding a hidden touch only locals will recognize. The front bumper completes the look, boldly reading “Uptown” in tribute to the home of Tulane Football.
The uniform complements the helmet’s artistry with equally thoughtful design details. The Tulane blue jersey features wrought iron accents on the shoulders, paired with white pants that carry matching striping down the sides. Player names are displayed in authentic New Orleans-style street tiles, and inside the collar, a hidden message reads “Welcome to Uptown,” a phrase synonymous with Green Wave Football. These City Edition uniforms and helmets will be worn only once, making them true collector’s items. Fans can secure their own through the Wave Warehouse, with items shipping after the November 15 Homecoming game. Every purchase helps fund NIL opportunities and support the next generation of Tulane student-athletes.
From the cracked sidewalks to the Mardi Gras beads, every inch of this design tells a story of creativity, culture, and community. This isn’t just a uniform; it’s a love letter to New Orleans.
