Auburn football has a very simple history with its uniforms, especially since the 1980s.
According to Auburn uniform historian Clint Richardson, owner of the Auburn Uniform Database, The Tigers have worn the usual navy home and white away jerseys with orange and white stripes on the sleeves with an orange line bordered by two navy lines on white pants since 1966, with the only exception being between the 1996-98 seasons when the jersey numbers featured an orange trim.
The helmets, however, have seen a few more alterations.
The usual look of the white shell with a navy facemask has only been the “normal” helmet since 1984. Prior to that season, Auburn sported an orange mask from 1979-1983. Before that, Auburn wore white helmets with silver facemasks.
Auburn’s helmet remained unchanged until 2007 when Auburn donned a throwback helmet in a game against Vanderbilt at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers took on another change for the 2019 Outback Bowl, as they used their helmets as a tribute to Heisman Trophy winner [autotag]Pat Sullivan[/autotag] who had recently passed.
Over the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Auburn played four games in orange facemasks and three additional games in white masks.
