Louisville football will face Ole Miss in primetime wearing one of its best uniform combos to date.
One of the most intriguing parts about the Louisville football rise through the ranks and emergence as a power five program has been its successful partnership with Adidas.
Each year, every athletic program sees a new, creative, sometimes cringey, always intriguing set of uniforms revealed.
For Louisville football, while uniforms and helmets don’t get major overhauls from year to year, the Cardinals often get the opportunity to showcase Adidas’ finest and most… eccentric creations.
In the Chick-Fil-A Kick-Off game against Auburn in 2015, we got our first peek at Lamar Jackson in the Murder Bird uniforms.
Now, Louisville football will don perhaps its greatest combo yet.
Introducing the Louisville colorway uniforms.
These are a thing of beauty.
The all-red uniforms with all-white writing is a beautiful combo. The shading on the writing feels like a nod to the 2003-2005 early Big East days. Most have never been fans of the NC State shoulder pad design. However, the move for Louisville football to incorporate a more modern look similar to their Adidas and ACC brethren with the larger wings on the front shoulder areas is a nice touch. Additionally, the subtle alteration of the number font is a great look.
What do you think? Is this one of the better Louisville uniform combos in recent memory?
Are the shoulder pads form fitted to the outside of the jersey? They look like a special padding is used on the outside of the pads.
