23 minutes ago
ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell shared some uniform news concerning Alabama and the other three College Football Playoff teams via his Twitter account and a story on ESPN.com. While the Crimson Tide isn't wearing alternate uniforms like Oregon and Ohio State, its players' jerseys will feature a small change.
Rovell announced the Nike swoosh on each team's jersey will be a diamond swoosh. Nike says, according to Rovell, the diamond swoosh symbolizes the teams' goal of obtaining a diamond championship ring.

Alabama's jerseys and helmets won't be different, but its base layer shirts are getting an update. Check out the tweet below to see the base layer, which is an elephant skin-like pattern made up of quotes.

Rovell also shared that the players' cleats will be playoff-game specific and made from recycled plastic bottles.

@uagrad93 no problem! Whoa, that close up of the elephant skin / quotes is pretty sick.

Very cool. Thanks a ton for these pictures. Subtle, but cool changes. I can handle these little differences. Those gloves are pretty Bad A.

Whew! The title of the thread had me scared for a minute. I thought Saban may have lost his mind.

@TerryP LOL, 1941 is in the picture... Middle of the image, about an inch in from the left side, its upside down.

 

[UAgrad93]

@uagrad93 no problem! Whoa, that close up of the elephant skin / quotes is pretty sick.

It would be nice if they sold shirts like that (same design).

 

[UAgrad93]

@PhillyGirl, if NIKE gets wind that fans want shirts like the under shirts for the players, they'll produce them!!

 

[Hardkore]

@uagrad93 , Are you talking to PhillyGirl or me?

 

[UAgrad93]

My bad @Hardkore! I saw where you quoted her quote and just noticed her name.

Hmmm,are you awake yet? Need some more coffee?

I have a buddy that can get them, not cheap though. Secondary market just kills it profit wise on this stuff.

So what you are saying is you have to know somebody.
