The Duke Blue Devils play football in Raleigh on Saturday afternoon, and they’ll take the field in NC State territory wearing some new black helmets.
The Blue Devils revealed their Week 11 uniforms through social media on Thursday night, and the team will wear a black helmet with the school name written in the gothic font fans have gotten used to over the past few years.
Duke complimented the look with white jerseys and black pants.
Despite blue being the primary color for the Blue Devils, Duke has already brought out black helmets multiple times this season. The team sported an all-black look against the North Carolina Tar Heels in Week 5, a game that saw the Blue Devils mount the second-largest comeback in school history, and brought them back for the Week 8 home game against the Florida State Seminoles. Both of those helmets sported a devil design rather than the gothic script, however.
Also, for those counting at home, the above examples mean the Blue Devils are undefeated while wearing black helmets in 2024. Something to keep in mind.
