The Rice game would make sense. It's at home, it's the final home game of the 125th season, and it's senior night.

Hope so, though we usually wear purple for home non-conference games.

have never seen an instance where the fans and players where the same uni on the same game. The advertising is the game. Sales will follow.

Tulane 07. I was at that game.

Nike normally does these 1 off alternates when they’re testing new uniform templates and it usually will happen vs another brand school. So far, all have been at home vs Arkansas and State (Adidas) and Auburn (UA). The timing is odd for shipping because they’d normally do this against a bigger brand team at home (State) instead of possibly Rice and on road versus A&M. If there were an announcement, I’d assume it be today. The uniform has been in making for two seasons because the purple helmet was first noticed in O’s Tiger Bowl in 2016.
