Let’s preface this by saying that I haven’t heard anything about this, and even the reporter of this rumor said he hasn’t been able to confirm anything, but Uni Watch is a pretty reliable site — ESPN’s Paul Lukas is the founder — that breaks jersey news relatively frequently.

In Monday’s news ticker, Garrett McGrath reports that new uniforms could be on the way for Syracuse.

A little birdie who claims to have close ties to the Syracuse football team says, “I’m being told 100% that there will be a complete overhaul of the uniform, including new pants, jerseys (including an alternate), and helmet.” None of this is verified yet.

A helmet would be surprising considering the introduction of a new helmet last season that received relatively positive reviews, especially from players, but the rest all makes sense. With the new helmet, new jerseys to accompany it make sense.

The Orange is due for some new jerseys — recruits love that kind of stuff. Maybe SU will finally get some orange ones, even if they would just be alternates.
