South Carolina reveals uniform combination for trip to Louisiana
South Carolina football is back on the road and sporting a new look against LSU.
The Gamecocks unveiled the uniform combination for Saturday’s trip to Death Valley in Baton Rouge. They’ll wear with black jerseys with white helmets and pants.
USC unveiled the look in a sand-filled Battle Armor video posted to social media Thursday.
The black uniforms are throwbacks to South Carolina’s 1980s teams and were introduced by Under Armor last season. They proved so popular that the team kept them as part of their regular rotation and adjusted the striping on their garnet and white uniforms to match.
Dating back to 2000, South Carolina has worn this white-black-white uniform combination 12 times, going 7-5 in those games. Most recently, the Gamecocks sported the look against Florida last season.
Heading into Saturday’s game, South Carolina is coming off an upset of Auburn to get to .500 for the first time since the middle of last year.
The Tigers are have struggled to 1-2, with the only win coming to Vanderbilt. They took a surprising upset against Mississippi State to open the season and then lost a shootout to a Missouri team projected to be one of the worst teams in the SEC.
The Gamecocks trail the overall series 2-19-1. The last win came in a 18-17 rainy slog in 1994.
Kickoff is 7 p.m. The game will be on ESPN. The Tigers are are favored by 6 points.
