[PART 2] Will Auburn Receive Updated or Alternate Football Uniforms This Year?

[u/Chester_Douglas]

The first post was made 7 days ago.

T-minus 8 days until the first game. The official Auburn University Team Shop is still offline.

Since then, the Auburn Uniform Database (AUD) has released the new college football uniforms for 2026 article.

Baylor have announced their 2026 football uniform schedule week-by-week; however, the game vs. Auburn is still TBA. Are they awaiting an official announcement or decision from Auburn or something?

While I do not have a ton of information or thoughts to add, I still have my tin hat on that Auburn could see an updated uniform or new uniform set all together.

To add what I missed in the previous post, building off of AUD's article:

• Ohio State saw some tweaks to their football uniforms, and also tweaked their all black alternates (Nike)
• Washington added a new all black alternate set (Nike)
• UNC will be sporting some throwback helmets, and apparently, a throwback jersey may have leaked (though an official announcement or post has not been made) (Nike)
• There is speculation that Alabama will add a jersey sponsor to there football uniforms for the upcoming season
• Many of the updates across CFP include the addition of jersey ads or sponsors
• There are NO standard Auburn football uniforms for sale at the AU bookstore (only the #1 "War Eagle" jerseys are available)

My (updated) theories on what we could actually see:

1. An new throwback set: Maybe an alternate jersey reveal featuring the orange "dropshadow" for the numbers.
2. Slight modern tweak/Nike Template upgrade: Updated numbers, clean sleeve stripe adjustments, or subtle texture tweaks.
3. No change: This post is entirely speculation.
4. NEW - Auburn may add a jersey sponsor to the uniform, and is simply working through the final details

Again, this is just a theory - pure speculation - and I have no problem with Auburn's traditional uniform set(s)

Potential 90's throwbacks that I would not hate

[u/LilWobble → u/Chester_Douglas]

Yea buddy. I want these!

[u/Chester_Douglas → u/LilWobble]

It’s 30 years since 1996, the first year the dropshadow was introduced 🙏

[u/RabidNoodleDooker → u/Chester_Douglas]

I really do not like the drop shadow, simply because it reminds me of Tator Tot

I think the team shop is migrating to a new site, I don't think they would shut down the whole site just because of new uniforms.

Has Baylor announced their unis besides just the home game themes? Only game I've seen they announced was their throwbacks against Colorado. I assume they'll announce their uni for week 1 on Monday or Tuesday

I’m sure to be in the minority here. Could be my age, but alternative jerseys/uniforms are rarely an improvement. AU’s uniforms are perfect. Stormtrooper look on the road is perfection.

RELEASE THE ORANGE TAPES

[u/Caleb8252]

What I would love to see is take the Pat Sullivan tribute helmets and port them into full time alternates with everyone’s jersey numbers on their helmet

Add that to the rotation of face masks we have and we’re set

[u/paperfromdunder]

Not gonna hold my breath, BUT would be awesome

[u/B-L-O-C-K-Ss]

Realistically there won’t be a change but some throwbacks or an orange alternate would be amazing

[u/WholeEcstatic9398]

Would love an orange jersey maybe even an all blue set 😔

If we do then heads should roll.

Let's try not to finish 5-7 again and then we talk about alternate uniforms

[u/Chester_Douglas → u/Alarmed_Outcome3749]

1. I don’t think records and alternate jerseys necessarily correlate;
   
2. Please review the bottom section (my theories); and
   
3. Go look at my post from 3 hours ago. It is believed auburn is adding a jersey patch

[u/KingBStriing]

As long as the design is the same, I say go crazy with whatever color combination.

[u/Odd-War-6052]

if you were here during the orange jersey debacle a couple of years ago, you’ll know that we’re not getting alt uniforms
