When it comes to Penn State football, you know they are going to wear their traditional blue jerseys and white pants for every home game. While some programs dabble in as many different looks as they see fit, Penn State sticks to what has always worked so well for them. But the Nittany Lions will suit up in their slightly modified look for the College Football Playoff first-round matchup against SMU on Saturday afternoon.
Penn State teased their Generations of Greatness uniforms for the playoff opener against the Mustangs in a handful of social media posts. The alternate Generations of Greatness look has become a staple of homecoming games in recent years, and it will be nice to see it for the first College Football Playoff game in Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Penn State’s alternate look looks very similar to the standard home uniform combination to the untrained eye. But there are some distinct differences with the uniform. The numbers on the jersey are slightly different, and the jersey number is slapped on the side of the helmets.
The shoes are also white, as opposed to the typical black. The facemask also gets a different color with a white facemask instead of the standard blue.
