SUni Football - A Look Back & A Look Forward...

Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports

We are just one week away from Syracuse launching their new uniforms for the 2014 season, what will the first combo be?

Will we wear white jerseys at home again? Will we actually see Orange pants &/or jerseys this year?

Soon we will need one of these just to figure things out.

All these new options got me thinking about last year which was really the first time we've switched up anything since the extremly forgettable Greg Robinson days when we tried the all orange & added white pants to the mix on occasion.

Last year was a nice change & we saw Blue pants (plus no stripe) for the first time in addition to our very own alternate helmet:

I put together the chart of what we wore last season:

Syracuse went 5-3 in Blue pants but only 2-3 with the alternate helmet (won 1st time they wore them vs. Tulane & the last time they wore them in the Texas Bowl vs. Minnesota). Also of note the combinations worn in the worst 2 loses (@ Georgia Tech & @ FSU) were never worn again after those games. (Maybe a littler superstition was in play there?)

I've included a poll for people to guess which helmet we will wear vs. Villanova.

My personal guess is that based on the fact that Nova will probably have a Blue helmet I think we will see the orange helmet to open the season with the blue shirt & top.

I honestly don't expect to see the same combo twice but I have a feeling the players will like the all one color look (i.e. blue helmet blue jersey blue pants). Who knows what we'll see, we'll have to wait until kickoff.

GO ORANGE!

Also if you haven't seen them, the new #44 replica jerseys are on sale.
