Colorado new Big 12 uniform: Shedeur Sanders rocks Buffs' latest threads at Media days 2024

The Colorado Buffaloes are now members of the Big 12, and Shedeur Sanders rocked the conference logo on Wednesday at the Big 12 media days. His older brother, Deion Sanders Jr., posted a story of the Buffs quarterback on the home version of their 2024 jersey, which proudly shows the conference logo.

The Buffaloes were part of the exodus that finally caused the implosion of the Pac-12. In Deion Sanders's first season in charge of the Boulder school, and their last in the old conference, Colorado achieved a 4-8 record. While that was an improvement on their 1-11 2022 record, the main goal for Colorado in the new season has to be to at least achieve a .500 record.

Is Colorado a Super Bowl-caliber team? According to Shedeur Sanders, it is

In one of the most head-scratching remarks the Colorado quarterback gave on Wednesday, Shedeur Sanders attempted to compare the Buffs games to the Super Bowl.

"I know we're everybody's Super Bowl, so I really just always stay level-headed and grounded because I would never want to be that guy who looks back and wasn't able to take advantage of the moment that we have right now," Sanders said.

The comment is interesting considering the program hasn't won more than five games since 2016 and Sanders hasn't played more than a season at the FBS level.

Certainly, the arrival of Deion Sanders and his sons at Colorado turned a down-on-its-luck football program into a cultural sensation and the Week 1 win over TCU was impressive, but the Buffs equally lost to lesser programs like Stanford.

A program that attracts such attention, and seems to embody such confidence, needs to start walking the talk at some point.
