LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Football and Adidas have teamed up to get an exclusive alternate uniform that the Jayhawks will wear this season for their return home game against Texas Tech on October 16th.
The alternative uniform, called “Hail to old KU”, will be available for the first time on September 6 at KUstore.com.
The uniform will feature powder blue Kansas Comet-era T-shirts with a bold KANSAS on the chest. The t-shirt also features a 3D Jayhawk head on the shoulders. On the helmet and hip of the dark blue pants is the classic “Bowtie K” from 1929.
The goal of the uniform was to accurately understand the history of Kansas football and the characteristics associated with being a Jayhawk, such as Proud, Classic and Bold.
The team showed off their uniform in the early hours of Monday morning at a team meeting and expressed their excitement to represent those who appeared before the Red Raiders in October.
