Mississippi is preparing to play in its first Sugar Bowl since 1970 when Archie Manning was quarterbacking the team.

It is fitting then that the Rebels great would have a hand in their trip back to New Orleans.

Ole Miss announced the uniforms the team will wear for the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 and that Manning helped pick them out:

It is probably not what Manning wore, but this is a solid look for the Rebels. The baby blue helmet is a throwback to Manning’s days and the red jerseys for Ole Miss are always a solid look.

Ole Miss takes on Oklahoma State at the Sugar Bowl in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on New Years Day.
