Rams to don special state flag uniforms

The Colorado State Rams are taking a bold step in honoring their state heritage this football season.

CSU unveiled new alternate uniforms Thursday with a 55-second video released on its Twitter account (@CSUFootball).

When the Rams host Boise State on Nov. 11, they will be dressed in white from head to toe, and in place of the traditional logo and spiral horns, the alternative uniforms feature the iconic red-andyellow Colorado state flag’s C on the helmets, shoulder pad sleeves and on the left hip of pants. Blue stripes run along the center of the helmet and down the side of each pant leg, jersey numbers are blue with red trim, and “Colorado State” is spelled out in blue above the front chest number.

The uniforms were designed as part of CSU’s partnership with Under Armour, now in its fifth year. Under Armour also produced orange Ag Day and gray alternative jerseys. This will mark the first time in program history the Rams will wear white helmets.

“Our partnership with Under Armour provides for specialty uniforms and the UA design team does a tremendous job driving the creative process,” CSU athletic director Joe Parker said. “The use of our iconic state flag as the base element for this uniform speaks to the pride across Colorado for the university and also our mission as a land grant institution.”

CSU (2-2) has a bye this week and plays Sept. 30 at Hawaii (2-1).

Nearing a sellout.

CSU has fulfilled its ticket allotment for seats at its new on-campus stadium in advance of the Oct. 14 homecoming game against Nevada.

Standing-room-only tickets are still available for purchase. The stadium features 36,500 seats but has a listed seating capacity of 41,000.

CSU drew 37,583 fans for the Oregon State game and 27,038 for the Abilene Christian game.
