And so, we wrap up our glance at the uniforms of 2021 with Boston College, which had to cancel out of the Military Bowl because of COVID-19 issues. (True fact: The Eagles have been bowl eligible each of the last four seasons, but have completed just one bowl game during that time. The First Responders bowl after the 2018 season was canceled due to lightning and BC turned down bowl invites for 2020 because of COVID concerns.)
Last season, under first-year coach Jeff Hafley, BC wore its throwback alternates almost exclusively. This fall, BC changed its uniforms and kept the retro look (bringing to mind the late-80s design), even resuscitating the vintage BC logo of yore. This change isn't restricted to football; a glance over at beagles.com shows nearly ALL the Eagles' teams have gone retro, although the site still uses the "modern" BC logo. Maybe Definitely I'm showing my age, but it's nice to see someone go traditional in a world of ultra-modern uniforms ... although if everyone went traditional, it would make for a pretty boring blog over here.
The Eagles mixed and matched between white and gold pants, although I prefer the time when they almost exclusively wore gold pants at home and white on the road. Otherwise, there's nothing to complain about (drat!). BC twice wore the "red bandanna" uniforms, a tribute to 9-11 hero and BC alum Welles Crowther.
