The Duke Blue Devils play in front of the Wallace Wade Stadium crowd for the final time this season on Saturday night, and the team debuted a new field design for the occasion.
According to a photo shared by the team on Friday afternoon, the field crew painted the end zones black instead of the usual blue for this weekend’s game against Virginia Tech.
The Blue Devils usually don their traditional blue and white, but they’ve incorporated black into several uniform combinations already this season. Duke wore an all-black outfit against the North Carolina Tar Heels in Week 5, black jerseys against Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Week 6, and black helmets against the Florida State Seminoles and NC State Wolfpack.
Duke has won four of its first five games in Durham this season, and since the start of 2022, the Blue Devils are 15-3 at Wallace Wade Stadium. A win over the Hokies could clinch their third consecutive eight-win season.
