Ole Miss fans scrolling social media Wednesday night undoubtedly saw the huge announcement - powder blue uniforms for the football team will be worn in the season opener against the Florida Gators.
It’s a huge announcement, because powder blue has its historic origins back to teams in the 80’s and 90’s who donned helmets that weren’t the traditional “Yale navy blue” associated with Ole Miss. There has been a resurgence in the last decade, however, of more and more powder blue thrown into coach’s apparel, then into the hottest college baseball uniform on the planet, and then into the basketball program.
