While we've yet to get any accompanying images just yet, more news is starting to come out around the Syracuse football team's complete design overhaul for the 2014 season. According to Syracuse.com's Nate Mink, looks like things are going to look a WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT this fall:
According to one source, there are uniform combinations with orange jersey tops and orange pants, blue tops and blue pants and white tops with white pants. There is also an orange chrome helmet. Another source said there was also an all-gray look, including a gray helmet.

Like the original article notes, Scott Shafer is "excited a hell" to change things up with SU's uniforms. And unlike one James Arthur Boeheim, he seems totally on board for whatever Nike hands the team. Said Shafer back in September:
"Times change. Whether I love it or not doesn't matter. It's about the kids that put it on the line, the players that put it on the line."
So, what do you think? Happy about the chrome? Want to kill the gray/platinum set with fire already, despite having not even seen it yet?
P.S.: If you'd like to submit some mock-ups of these different looks described in the Syracuse.com post, feel free to email them along (jcassilloii at yahoo dot com) or simply post the images in the comments below. We'll be able to add them to the main article from there.
