The latest installment of 2021 uniforms comes from two Patriot League schools, Colgate and Holy Cross.
Colgate had a new coach and new home jerseys, which vaguely recall the Raiders' mid-70s look. The road shirts carried over the design from the 2021 spring season. (Nothing says "FCS football" quite like home and road jerseys with completely different designs because you can afford to change only one set of shirts at a time.) Three different helmet designs were employed, two with the classic "'gate" logo and one with the school's official logo: A plain ol' "C." I wonder how long it took the marketing geniuses in Hamilton to come up with that one?
For a program as historically accomplished as Holy Cross, it's kind of a shock to learn the Crusaders never won a postseason game until this season's FCS playoffs. The Cross won its third straight Patriot title to continue the program's most successful run since the '80s glory years, when the then-Colonial League abstained from postseason play. After changing their road shirts last season, Holy Cross unveiled matching home versions this fall. The black pants, not worn since 2019, made a return. As I said after last season, those gorgeous white helmets should be worn full-time.
