Per Twitter video

We now have a white helmet, white pants option this year. My guess is we might be done with navy all together and use powder blue as our main helmets.

Why do we have to have a on field mascot? It's not really necessary. I think OM becoming obsessed with finding the perfect mascot.

Here's potentially our new mascot:

Sounds like we are doing what we can to help recruit. Kids love uni options. I’m not a huge fan but probably a smart move.

IMO the more options we have the better. For years we’ve begged for more uniform options and yeah some might be busts (like the all blues) but finally we are branching out. I think these are clean and will look really good.

Just wish they would work in some navy blue on the pants strips, shoulder strips or accents on the helmet. Reminds me of Wisconsin or Nebraska.

That’s just a stupid statement. Why anybody would wanna bring up and refer their team to the KKK while their team is playing on the national stage is beyond me.

I always thought the red&blue dual stripe on our gray pants would look awesome on white pants. The dual stripe is pretty unique to us as opposed to the spaced out double stripe on our new white pants.

I can name multiple teams in the SEC alone that have the same pant stripes, just different color combos.

I wish we would only wear the powder blue helmets and red jerseys for one home game a year. I very much like our blue jerseys/helmets and grey pants. I agree about the white helmets. They look great!

Never heard anyone beg for more options.

Bringing back powder blue helmets has been a thing since we stopped using them. I don’t believe you.

And every time a Nike school got a new uniform option we had coach O, Nutt shut it down until Freeze came in and actually listened to the fans and players.

We have? I thought the powder blues we're a good mix up with the three jersey combos we normally go with. Those should have been enough imo.

I like the new white uni’s but I would only want them as an alternative we use like once every other year. I don’t want these uniforms in a rotation with our original uniforms or light blue lids. One time thing, I’m good with it.

As far as the mascot goes. I’m fine with the Landshark, and I actually think it bothers other fan bases a lot more than it bothers me. Everybody on tRant gets triggered AF when we relate anything to Landsharks.

I strongly dislike monochrome looks. They remind me of something the AAC would do. At least they’re much better than the all-navys. Those were terrible

If this leads to a red helmet down the road, imma gonna riot tho

I liked the white jerseys, blue numbers, white pants we rocked against Texas at their place and I like the white jerseys with red numbers and white pants as well but with the navy helmets.

The all blue is too much, I agree and the blue pants with the red jerseys looks like Arizona; shitty.

I do like the powder blues, red jersey, and gray pants though.

We could also go white helmet, powder blue jersey and white pants. We'd look like the old Houston Oilers.
