Off the heels of Duke football’s first-ever win over the Florida State Seminoles, the Blue Devils are now set to face the No. 22 SMU Mustangs.
However, before things kick off on Saturday, the team revealed its jersey combination for the Week 9 game through social media on Thursday evening.
As shown off by safety Terry Moore, the only player featured in the video, the Blue Devils will wear white helmets, blue jerseys, and white pants. Moore, appropriately for this weekend’s opponent, rode a horse in full uniform for the reveal video.
“Ready for the Mustangs,” the post’s caption read.
Duke wore white helmets for each of its first two home games this season, but this week’s outfit provides a twist. As the Blue Devils teased on Wednesday, the ‘Duke’ script helmets make their return to the field. The design served as the team’s primary helmet for more than two decades from 1978-2003.
Against FSU, Duke wore a blue jersey with black helmets and pants, a close match to their blackout design against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The last time they wore their white-blue-white combination was the season opener against Elon. The Blue Devils won that game 26-3.
Though Duke enters the game with only one loss in its first seven games, SMU remains undefeated through conference play and tied for second in the ACC. Duke, however, has yet to lose a game at home this year and is 15-2 in Durham since 2022.
