The Colorado Buffaloes will have new jerseys for the upcoming 2024 college football season, and it sounds like Deion Sanders played a pretty significant role in designing them.
During a press conference this week, Deion Sanders announced that the Colorado Buffaloes will be releasing new uniforms ahead of the 2024 season “real soon” while also revealing that he had a “heavy hand” in the design of the uniforms.
“A heavy hand,” Sanders responded when asked what role he played in the design, according to On3. “You’re going to see them real soon.”
Sanders acknowledges that the jerseys aren’t necessarily going to impact the team’s play on the field, it is something that he has changed at every one of his coaching stops – and the extra revenue from jersey sales doesn’t hurt.
“Well, uniforms don’t win or lose games, they just enhance the look. They just help provoke sales more, selling more merchandise,” Sanders said. “Everywhere we’ve gone, we’ve always enhanced the look – from several different high schools to college at Jackson and now here. So not only the uniforms, the cleats to match the uniforms. Those are gonna be suitable, as well.”
Still, he hopes the uniforms have a positive effect on his team.
“So these young men are going to have a wonderful look,” he said. “You know, the motto ‘you look good, you feel good.’ And then consequently they play good. And that’s what we’re aiming for.”
We’ll have to see what the new uniforms look like when they’re released.
