Alabama reveals uniform combination for Week 10 clash vs. LSU
Alabama will face LSU on Saturday afternoon in a game that just might determine its season.
The Crimson Tide got a favorable No. 5 ranking in the first College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night, but that hardly means that Alabama has a big — or any — margin for error as it heads to Death Valley for the 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on ABC. Like LSU, the Tide have 2 losses already this season, so a third loss would be crippling for either team’s Playoff hopes.
As both 6-2 teams steamroll toward their Week 10 collision in Baton Rouge, the result of this game might dictate where both teams end up at the end of the season.
What will happen on Saturday afternoon? We’ll find out early Saturday night when the curtain comes down, and 1 team suffers that disastrous third loss.
And what will Alabama be wearing as it tries to potentially save its Playoff hopes? That we already know, as it was revealed early Saturday afternoon, about 3 hours before kickoff.

It’ll be a weird dynamic but one Alabama is used to when it travels to Death Valley, with LSU usually wearing its home white jerseys during even-year matchups when the teams meet in Baton Rouge.
Here is how the jersey color combo will go down for Bama on Saturday, from head (helmets) to the jersey color to the pants:
