UM Jersey Talk : Don’t Believe The Hype

Again the message boards are running rampant with alternate Miami Hurricanes jersey talk. Saw a post today where a fan states that his “sources” informed him that UM will be sporting black jerseys at some point this season.

Just like two years back, this info is wrong. One more time for the record, there will be NO black Miami Hurricanes football jersey this fall. That is simply another Intraweb rumor.

allCanes.com is an official carrier of Nike merchandise and has been since the 1970s. If you want UM jersey-related info, we’re your “source”.

Miami is again one of ten teams that will be part of Nike’s Pro Combat line this fall. It will be a different jersey than you saw last year in the season finale at South Florida and the bowl game.

For starters, the Canes will be wearing the new-look jersey at home this year, on Saturday November 20th when Virginia Tech comes to town. The new uniform will consist of the following:

– A green helmet. (After all the joking over the years, seriously.)
– Orange jersey. (Numbers are same font, palm tree pattern inside number.)
– Orange pants. (Pattern inside number is same pattern running down leg. “U” logo by the knee.)
– Orange / Green / Black shoes.
– Same gloves as last year, forming a “U” when put together.

Michael “The Playmaker” Irvin will be Miami’s former player acting as ‘team rep’ for the new-look jerseys and more info will be available Wednesday morning on Nike’s Facebook page. Check back there for the latest … not on the ill-informed message boards.

  • Whatever they might do, I don't really care.

    That is as long as the look says, 'BAD ASS'!!

    All white, is not a good look.

    Also, as long as there is such a thing as University of Miami football, they have got to keep the U on the helmets.

    Instantly recognized and well hated.

    Just the way I like it.

  • those green helmets sound kinda disturbing, I cant imagine them... so they'll be wearing last years uniforms for the rest of the season?

  • Efren, hopefully the green is a metallic shade and looks cool ... and yes, the standard unis from last year will be the same ones issued this season.

  • I am a big supporter of allcanes and this blog. but in all fairness to forum board posters who just like to seem like they have insider information.
    allcanes doesn't seem to always have the correct information and if they do they haven't been forward with the truth.

    case in point.

    A friend came over to store on the weekend of the 14th to get the combat jersey for a present. she was told that they will not be making the combat jerseys this year. Monday it was all over the news site the 10 teams selected for this year.

    and please get some hurricanes Fedoras & Golf hats in please

  • Sean, if your friend was told that either she was given poor information or she received it wrong.

    Many people have emailed and called looking for LAST YEAR'S Pro Combat uniforms -- white jerseys with the orange/green numbers -- that we special ordered and stocked well after others, due to our relationship with Nike. (They allowed us to custom order hundreds more, while other shops didn't do so.)

    We've know for a long while that new-look jerseys were coming this fall and our GM saw them unveiled at a trade show in Atlanta a few weeks back.

    If someone in store misinformed her or she misunderstood what they meant, so be it but as far as being close with Nike and privy to the latest coming out of their warehouses, we are much closer to the situation than most folks supposedly "in the know" on the message boards.

  • please tell me that the green helmet is a joke. that's worse than putting an upside down U on the helmets

  • I think if they are gonna bust out an all orange then go with the white helmets. If they are gonna go with all green then yeah a bad ass metallic green would be awesome to go with that. I've always loved an all white it just looks clean. Now with that being said the u needs to come up with a green/orange and white trimed u black helmet black jersery with green trim like the orange jersey now with white number and lettering trimed in oranged and black pants with of course black socks and cleats. Its the U we should have the most uni options in the nation and of course a black out night at the stadium. Now these jerseys should only be warn against fsu or vtech
