The parade of new uniforms for HBCU programs continues as the week comes to a close and the season inches closer. First, there was A&T’s new gray uniform and helmet. Then Grambling pulled out ALL THE COMBINATIONS.
Two other SWAC programs revealed their new uniforms shortly after GSU on Friday night and Saturday morning.
Prairie View A&M pulled out a number of combinations with its new gear from adidas on Friday night. Just like their Lousiana SWAC brethren, the Panthers have uniform combos for days.

While its great to have options, some fans seem to think the purple monochrome jersey will work against PVAMU since there is so little contrast between the jersey color and the number color. That can lead to a penalty, just ask FAMU.
So, Prairie View A&M dropped their new Adidas unis a few hours ago.
This purple home jersey is a mess

A few hours after PVAMU’s uniform reveal, Southern showed off its new Under Armour uniforms via Twitter.
This is the away jersey which will make it debut against TCU.

Both looks are simple but not basic, which is always a good combination. It’s a solid outing for the school’s first Under Armour offering.
