What has Auburn equipment manager Dana Marquez most excited are the jerseys that are “virtually impossible to hold.”
As you can tell from the players’ reaction, they’re pleased with the updates.
Among the highlights to the uniform:
— Stripes will wrap around the sleeves of the jerseys.
— Stripes on the pants go top to bottom and the belt will be white instead of blue.
— The helmet will have an orange chrome stripe instead of an orange metallic stripe.
— Blue facemasks instead of black.
— Orange cleats will also be used on occasion.
