With Syracuse Orange football’s season opener just a couple days away, Wednesday gave glimpse of what the uniforms will look like against Central Connecticut State.

The blue helmet, blue jersey and orange pants look is actually a new combination for SU since introducing this set back in 2014. It’s strange that SU wouldn’t wear the “standard” orange/blue/orange set in the opener, but... whatever, this fan base (self included) will never be satisfied by what the program dons in-game.
For those -- other than myself -- wondering about the success of these uniform elements in the past, Syracuse is 1-5 with the blue helmets, 3-10 with blue jerseys and 5-8 with orange pants.
