Auburn to wear orange facemasks again vs Alabama

Auburn is bringing the orange facemasks back!

The orange facemasks are back for Auburn.

After breaking the facemasks out vs Ole Miss for the first time since 1984, Auburn is bringing them back for the Iron Bowl, according to Auburn Uniforms.

Earlier this season Auburn wore white facemasks for the annual Penn State ‘whiteout’ game. Much like the first two times Auburn made a uniform change this season, it appears to be a recruiting pitch with all of the huge visits coming for the Tigers this weekend. Harsin seems to have an infatuation with changing up the uniforms.

The Tigers and Crimson Tide will play Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS.

Auburn football to wear orange facemasks vs Ole Miss

Auburn is breaking out a new facemask color for the Ole Miss game!

It’s official. The Tigers will wear orange facemasks against the Ole Miss Rebels for Saturday’s game.

It will be the first time Auburn has worn orange facemasks since the 1984 Sugar Bowl vs Michigan. Doug Barfield introduced the colored bars in 1979, according to Auburn Uniforms on Instagram.

The Tigers experimented with white facemasks earlier this season when they traveled up to Happy Valley to play Penn State in their annual ‘Whiteout’ game. Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin seems to be intrigued by experimenting with Auburn’s uniforms, possibly as a recruiting tactic. There have been very minimal changes made this season, but there could be some more changes made for specific games in the future under Harsin.

No. 18 Auburn kicks off against No. 10 Ole Miss tomorrow night at 6 p.m. central on ESPN.
