Vandy jumps on default Nike uniform bus

The Vanderbilt Commodores will sport an updated uniform design by Nike for the 2008-2009 college football season. The new uniforms are essentially a black & gold derivative of Nike's current default "piping" uniform design, which was introduced several years ago by the Miami Hurricanes and made popular by Virginia Tech and others.

The new uniform has the Star V logo below the neckline and and on the back of the jersey above classic numbers trimmed in the schools colors. The pants are a new design, showcasing a Nike "Swoosh" on the right hip and a Star V logo on the left hip. The alternating black/gold/black stripes from the classic Vandy uniform pants are gone in this redesign, as are the two stripes on the jersey sleeves.

"The result of everybody's efforts and input is an extremely sharp looking uniform. I think Commodore fans are really going to like this fresh new look," [Head coach Bobby] Johnson said.

Vandy will have nine color combination choices (lots of color coordination!) with black, gold, or white jerseys over black, white, or gold pants.
