Louisville and Mississippi State will honor the Armed Forces by wearing uniforms in each of their upcoming games to support those who have served as part of a Military Appreciation game.
Louisville unveiled the "Young Patriot" uniforms on Tuesday. The new uniforms are "inspired by patriotism and influenced by street culture, the new special edition uniform fuses traditional stars and stripes shapes and patterns with a black and white color palette that's currently seen in street culture apparel trends," according to a press release. In addition, the Cardinals will wear black helmets with their logo in white.

This Saturday, we honor those who serve and have served to defend and protect our freedom.
