While fans will certainly appreciate the look, they might not realize the lengths that the Aggies’ equipment went to for authenticity in replicating the 60-year old uniforms.
Travis L. Brown of My Aggie Nation shared the above video on Twitter that shows how high-resolution photographs were used to make sure Saturday’s helmet captures every detail of the 1956 version.
The uniforms can be seen in the Aggies-Gamecocks game in Columbia, S.C. set for 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
