In 2015-16, the Rebels of UNLV will be donning a new pair of red and silver helmets that feature the city’s famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign on the back.
"Las Vegas is so important to our university, and our football program wants to be a big part of the Las Vegas community," head coach Tony Sanchez said in a statement, per Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
These are uncharted waters for the Rebels. Here's a tidbit from the UNLV website:
This season will mark the first time in history that the team will wear more than one color of helmet and the first time the Rebels will pull on a red helmet since the 1981 campaign.
