"They want to be TCU sooo bad," "Absolutely fire": CFB world reacts to new Ole Miss uniforms for 2024 season

Ole Miss released a new uniform for the 2024 college football season on Monday, and the look goes in line with the program’s “Drip in the Sip” moniker. The team has over the years had some of the most iconic uniforms in college football, and the new release is no exception.

The new uniform showcases powder blue numbers and stripes, complemented by a red "Ole Miss" script on the chest. It also retains the familiar stripe design of other jerseys but marks the first time in school history that Ole Miss has featured powder blue on a road jersey.

The unveiling of the new uniform, which was modeled by wide receiver Tre Harris, has led to a series of wild reactions in the college football world. While opposing fans tried to talk down the uniform, the Rebels faithful applauded the brilliance of the new design.

Here's a look at some of the reactions online.

“Hate on Mississippi... talk trash about a "9-win ceiling"... yawn at the whiteout uni... but y'all know that helmet is absolute fire,” a Rebels fan wrote.

“Awesome! Chrome helmet would be cool with the blues!” another fan wrote.

“Couldn’t even get a good look at them because the video was trash,” a rival fan wrote.

The new Ole Miss road uniform design

The new uniform released on Monday morning by Ole Miss adds to the impressive uniform collection of the football program in recent years. A lot has been altered in the program since Lane Kiffin arrived in 2020, and the unique design of the new uniform also falls in line with that.

Ole Miss' latest game day attire includes a striking ensemble featuring a white helmet, which was first seen in the 2021 Sugar Bowl as well as a white jersey and white pants. An alternative version of this combination showcases a powder blue helmet, which is also new.

The standout elements of the new road uniform are the powder blue numbers and stripes. This is pretty much alien to the Rebels but adds some admirable aesthetics to the new uniform. Additionally, the new white uniforms will incorporate Nike's Vapor F.U.S.E. template.

A lot of expectations ahead of the 2024 season

The 2024 college football season comes with a lot of expectations for Ole Miss. The program has witnessed significant improvement on the gridiron since Lane Kiffin was hired four years ago, and something even bigger is expected next season.

After playing in a New Year’s Six bowl game in 2023, the Rebels are touted to make the College Football Playoff, which has been expanded to 12 teams in the upcoming season. This will be the first appearance for the program in the postseason competition if the goal is achieved.
