The 2024-25 college football season kicks off in earnest this Labor Day weekend, with a whopping 96 games scheduled between Thursday night and Monday evening.
With that, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of every uniform, logo and field change that has taken place across the country this offseason, which we’ve broken down by conference and will continue to share through Saturday.
We’ve already covered the ACC, American Athletic Conference, Big Ten, Big XII, SEC, Pac-12 and Independent programs, so now we’re moving through Group of 5 with Conference USA.
Jacksonville State
The Gamecocks added sleeve stripes to their red home and white road jerseys, as well as two truncated stripes to their red and white pants, the latter of which feature their “Ass Kickin’ Chicken” logo on the right hip.
They also introduced a new black alternate uniform that follows the same design and can be paired with their new white alternate helmet, which includes the A.K.C. logo on both sides and a single stripe down the middle.
Additionally, Jacksonville State replaced the turf at AmFirst Stadium, prominently displaying the A.K.C. logo at midfield, and modified its standard red helmet with a traditional striping pattern rather than a design that trails off toward the back.
Kennesaw State
The Owls enter their first season in Conference USA following their transition from the Football Championship Subdivision level and have added a C-USA patch to right shoulder of their jerseys to reflect that change.
Liberty
While they still have their old navy blue uniforms in the rotation, the Flames ditched the stripes on their red home and white road jerseys and added a new powder blue alternate design.
All three designs feature a script “Liberty” or “Flames” wordmark across the chest, as well as a vintage “Sparky” logo on the base of the collar and right hip of the pants.
The powder blue alternate uniform is complete with a new white helmet design, with “Flames” in white with a navy blue drop shadow on the sides and navy blue facemask.
Louisiana Tech
One season after they unveiled powder blue alternate jerseys, the Bulldogs have added a new white helmet option that features a powder blue and red script “Tech” on the sides and matching stripes down the middle.
This will mark just the second time since the 1969 season that Louisiana Tech won’t have its primary logo on the side of its helmets, joining the secondary Bulldog logo the team donned for one game in 2014.
Middle Tennessee State
The Blue Raiders have updated to Nike’s Vapor F.U.S.E. template and adopted the same striping pattern that Western Kentucky introduced last season (and several other Nike schools copied this offseason).
They also added a small “Middle Tennessee” wordmark above the numbers of their blue home and white road jerseys, which continue to feature a contrasting gray collar and cuffs like their previous design.
Sam Houston
The Bearkats will celebrate the 100th anniversary of their current color scheme by wearing two different throwback helmets in select games this season, including a 1994-96 script mark and 1998-2004 “KATS” design.
Additionally, Sam Houston has introduced a new secondary mascot logo, which is an evolution of its “Sammy Bearkat” mark that originated in the 1950s and notably features a sailor hat.
Western Kentucky
The Hilltoppers will have a red helmet at their disposal for the first time since 2006, It waas shown with their choice of a script “Tops” wordmark and a 1997-2002-inspired stacked “WKU” logo with a white or black facemask.
Western Kentucky also installed a new turf field at “The Houch,” which features their “Red Towel” logo at midfield and their mascot, “Big Red,” at the opposing 25-yard lines.
