Frankly, I'm kinda disappointed. With all that Mackenzie Bezos money, we should be wearing more uniform and helmet combos this season than the Oregon Ducks. It's gonna look kinda crazy that the new blue jerseys will have a different chest script (NCATSU) than all the other colors. I agree. Those new blue jerseys originally had “MEAC” stitched on them, hence the “big South” patch covering it up. Not sure why we got new jerseys considering we were switching conferences…….even if it was done before the fall season got canceled. I guess there can be worst problems to have, I just wish we spend money on more accessory/equipment options such as cheats, gloves, alternate helmets, etc, instead of a uniform item that’s not consistent with everything else we have.

I agree, the uniforms are so mediocre we basically could’ve done without em and bought more gear for guys to have. FBS programs have constant access to socks, tape, wrist and arm bands, etc. We still got guys in Russell practice jerseys

Whatever the opinions are, the uniforms are gonna look good as long as we’re winning! Plus I’m convinced that the “NC A&T SU” on the chest is a marketing/branding move since we’re in a new conference. Hopefully that will help eliminate all of the “AT&T” foolishness we all despise!

It's gonna look kinda crazy that the new blue jerseys will have a different chest script (NCATSU) than all the other colors. I respectfully disagree , none of that Mackenzie Beezos money nor any of the other donations should go toward athletics ,not one red penny . We have a fundraiser coming up just for athletics and the band that's where we need to step up and give more . BTW Bethune was known for having the most uniform combos ,but that was done through alumni contributions ,if we want all the extra bells and whistles we as alumni need to pay for that stuff .

I don't have a problem buying a helmet. Now if I can get 99 more people to join me we are good to go.

I think the AAF could get more to donate if they published an itemized list of all the projects from the Athletics Department they’re trying to raise money for.

I'm not convinced they're new. That aftermarket Big South patch looks suspect!

The only new jerseys are the blue ones. Everything else is just refurbished with the Big South logo.

I'm pretty sure they just pick from a template. Kinda like out of an Eastbay book or something.
