Saturday night will mark more than just a Gamecock Football home opener, it will be a fresh look for Williams-Brice Stadium. South Carolina will host in-state foe SC State under the lights, and fans will notice something different the moment they look towards the end zones.
On Thursday, South Carolina revealed an image of both end zones at Williams-Brice Stadium painted garnet, with bold white lettering stretched across the field. One side will read "CAROLINA" and the other "GAMECOCKS." That design is familiar to fans, but the design will now include palmetto trees placed at the start of each word.
