Texas A&M debuts new white script helmet as part of icy uniform combo for Notre Dame game
As the No. 16 Texas A&M Aggies prepare to leave the familiar confines of Kyle Field in College Station, they set their sights on a formidable challenge: facing off against the No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in week 3.
This matchup isn’t just about redemption after last year’s disappointing 23-13 loss: it’s an opportunity for the Aggies to make a bold statement both on and off the field. With an eye-catching debut of their icy combo featuring a striking new white helmet with “Aggies” in script lettering, Texas A&M is ready to turn heads.
Fresh off a commanding 44-22 victory against Utah State, the Aggies’ offense is firing on all cylinders. Quarterback Marcel Reed showcased his talent by completing 22 of 34 passes for an impressive 319 yards, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation as they head into a pivotal clash with Notre Dame.
This showdown marks the 7th meeting between these two storied programs, with Notre Dame currently holding a slight edge in the all-time series at 4-2. However, fueled by determination and desire to reclaim dominance over the Fighting Irish, Texas A&M enters this game with high hopes. Yet, statistics suggest that luck may be on Marcus Freeman’s side; ESPN FPI Week 3 projections give Notre Dame an overwhelming win probability of 71.1% at home.
Can the Aggies rise above expectations and prove that they are more than just a stylish team with their icy new look? The stage is set for 7:30 p.m. ET from South Bend.
