Further graphic details on the uniform help reinforce the history of Syracuse football:

  • On the neck, the number 44 is proudly displayed in a military-inspired graphic patch that references the quad and its crossing walkways, the "Legend of 44" and the team's annual trip to Fort Drum, N.Y. each year to train with the military. Fort Drum is also home to the 10th Mountain Division, of which Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman was a member.
  • The away uniform is embellished with "D.I.S.C.I.P.L.I.N.E" inside the back of the neck, referencing Coach Scott Shafer's mantra. The word serves as an inspiration to the athletes each time they put on the jerseys, and also pays homage to the team's military training at Fort Drum.
  • The words "Lock the Gate" appear inside the neck of the home jersey as a reminder of the team's pre-game ritual and the importance of winning at home.
  • The school's familiar block "S," logo anchors all three helmets. Each helmet also feature the word "CUSE" on the front and "ORANGE" on the back. An outline of New York state is featured on the back of each helmet with the block "S" logo placed where the city of Syracuse is located.
  • The uniform color schemes are mirrored in the Nike Pro Combat Hypercool baselayer, socks, and gloves connected to each uniform.
 
At the press conference, did anyone ask if there will be names on the back of the jerseys?
 
I'm not really a crazy uniform guy, but I don't see the uproar. I think these are kind of cool. I like the white helmets and the metallic orange helmets--a lot.

I could do without the zig-zag fade of the numbers, but whatever.

The 44 thing in the neckline--kind of a strange design, probably could have done a better job with this [I had to look really, really close to even see that it was a 44].
 
Is that 3rd helmet grey or blue? Or is it a combo? I can't tell from the picture...
 
This is crap!

What was wrong with what they had last year and maybe tweaking a few things. I'm like Marsh, are these clowns hiring...dang.
