The powder blues are a popular look, especially for a special game. Some Rebel fans, however, weren’t pleased with the full combo, notably the pants:
Damnation . . . “sissy blue” jerseys and white practice pants. Our traditional & iconic uniform (which includes the powder blue helmet every now & then) shouldn’t be messed with.

For the love of balance, please stripe the pants with red and blue.

We will see if this uniform combination will bring the Rebels luck.
The Rebels and Razorbacks will kick off at noon ET on the SEC Network.
