One of the most exciting parts about the college football offseason is figuring out which uniform combinations your team will go with for the upcoming season.
Some programs are a little more forward-thinking when it comes to alternate jerseys and helmets than others (think Oregon versus Alabama), but regardless, it’s nice to know which games your favorite team will be “swagged out” in, as the kids say.
While we’ve seen several intriguing combos leaked this summer, one program has risen to the top with one of the best uniform concepts in a long time.

The Tulane Green Wave are known for already having some phenomenal traditional uniforms to pull from, however, they’ve really outdone themselves with these Mardi Gras-inspired threads that are sure to turn heads on TV screens across America this fall.
I’m not even a Mardi Gras guy. Hell, I rarely, if ever, drink, but these are about as clean as it gets.

It’s hard for college football fans to agree on much of anything these days, but aside from some vocal trolls, these uniforms seem to be universally beloved by everyone on social media.
Not only do the uniforms look clean and eye-catching, but they represent something about the culture of the city that the team plays in, and that is the hallmark of a next-level uniform.
College football is all about culture and tradition as well as the passion of the fanbase, and I think the Green Wave captured that perfectly with these bad boys.
From what I can tell, Tulane will be wearing their Mardi Gras uniforms against South Alabama on September 12, so you can bet your bottom dollar that game will be front and center on my television.
