LOOK: Texas A&M's 'BLACK OUT' alternate uniform officially unveiled

October 24, 2024

For the first time since 2018's "1998 throwbacks," Texas A&M football will wear an alternate uniform.

And you could say the Aggies will be “Back in Black” on Saturday night.

On Thursday, the Aggies officially revealed a black uniform to be worn on Oct. 26 against No. 8 LSU at Kyle Field.

Message boards, rejoice.

First teased on Aug. 10, this represents the first time A&M will wear black on the gridiron since the 2015 "Aggie Nights" set (initially worn during the daytime). These are also A&M’s third all-black combo, along with the original black-out that debuted for the 2012 bludgeoning at Mississippi State.

On Aug. 14, A&M revealed the jersey and made it available for purchase the following day, but we finally have a look at the full set.

The jerseys themselves are very similar to the current Maroon & White uniform set, but there are some noticeable changes.

A bold "TEXAS A&M" dons the chest in white, but with the numbers, a silver outline highlights the large white numbers on the front and the back of the jersey. Additionally, venting holes can be seen in the numbers for improved breathability. This is a jersey element that Adidas introduced on basketball jerseys in recent years (if you look closely, Wade, Boots & Co. rocked a similar style last season) and represents a change from the Ags' solid numbers on the home and road sets. A version of silver-outlined-white numbers appears on the shoulders sans the venting.

Further, the Adidas three-stripe logo and SEC patch on the front are sleek-looking chrome for an added element of silver.

Looking at the lid, a matte black dome is adorned by a white script (!!!) “Aggies” logo, marking the first time this specific word mark has been featured on a football uniform. The helmet is completed by a black facemask and bumper. It’s a very sharp look, in my opinion.

The pants complete the black-out look. A dark, solid set with a white "Lone Star" logo on each hip.

Outside of the new helmet logo, this is essentially just a black version of the Ags’ current Maroon & White sets that we see on a weekly basis.

Additionally, a number of players have requested that the 12th Man join them in turning Kyle Field black on Saturday night.

And if you had any doubts about what color to wear on Saturday, Mike Elko eliminated any and all confusion on Tuesday afternoon when he penned the following on X:

You heard ‘em, and now you’ve seen ‘em, Ags.

Be loud! Wear black! And BEAT THE HELL OUTTA LSU!

man if i am being honest not sure about those helmets. i was onboard with the black uniforms and even commented on a previous post as long as the helmet says aTm on it i am cool with it but aggies in the side to me is not great.

it's one game so no biggie but like the uniforms, do not like the helmets.

No bevel. That's an improvement for most on this board.

False.
I LOVE this helmet as a one off/alternate, but keep the iconic block aTm (no bevel) on the regular lids please. Actually both of our normal helmets we've worn this year have featured the script Aggies as a detail on the front rubber pad. Best of both worlds.

Wasted money. Players need focus on football rather than what paying fans wear to the game.

Probably be able to get them from New Mexico State, Utah State and a dozen other High Schools that are Aggies and have no half decent traditions to speak of.

Sir, the fans won't be wearing these jerseys or helmets. But I don't blame your sentiment for the demand on fan attire.

The script is just another thing that gives us another similarity to cowbell. Prefer the block aTm

It's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about, so I'll explain. I can assure you the players did not pay any money sending those blackout tweets. Nor are they losing focus about what you are wearing. Encouragement =/= focus. Bless your heart.

I think it would be cool if these could sort of reflect maroon, like a black cherry paint job. If that's even possible on the jerseys
