Back to the College Football Uniforms
Boston College made it known to Under Armour in 2009 that it did not want to stray from tradition, so risk-taking designers weren’t given an open canvas ala Maryland, South Carolina.
Boston College’s golden helmets stayed in place as well as classic-style jerseys, but Under Armour’s performance apparel and moisture-wicking technology did bring out a more crisp appearance for the Eagles.
In 2012, the Eagles donned “Freedom” threads along with fellow Under Armour school Hawaii to promote the Wounded Warrior Project. The stars-and-stripes themed uniforms were well executed – a white top with red and white stripes on one shoulder and stars on a blue flag decorating the other. Matching cleats, gloves and a red, white and blue helmet stripe set off the look. It was the fourth year of Under Armour’s “Freedom” collaboration with the Wounded Warrior Project.
The Eagles also wore gold alternate tops with maroon numerals that featured a stained glass effect, a slight, acceptable variation from the norm. Currently, Under Armour’s classic uniforms for the Eagles include white, maroon and gold tops and white, maroon and gold pants. The blank, metallic gold shell has stayed the same throughout history and goes well with the toned-down uniforms.
During the Matt Ryan era, Reebok’s uniforms included “Soaring Eagles” patches on both shoulders and a “BC” patch on the hip that created some flair.
