JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – After the debut of Carson-Newman's new Nike Foggy grey uniforms Tuesday, the Eagles took to the catwalk for a fashion show to display all 16 of their uniform combinations Thursday at the Ken Sparks Athletic Complex.
The Eagles can throw together different arrangements of Nike Pro Combat (blue and white), Beast (orange) and Get Loose (the new Foggy grey) uniforms.
"This was real fun," defensive end William Alderman said after strutting his stuff in an orange jersey in white pants. "We've got the look thanks to our coaches and Nike, now we've got to show performance on the field to match it."
Since 2012, Carson-Newman is 3-1 when wearing blue tops with white pants, 2-0 in blue on orange, 5-1 in orange on white, 4-1 in white on orange, 2-3 in white on white and 2-0 in white on blue.
The consensus among the Eagles' seems to favor the grey-on-grey combination or the blue-on-white.
"I think it humbles us as players that our coaches care this much about us to go get uniforms for us, especially the greys," running back Andy Hibbett said. "Just to get Nike is a huge deal."
The Eagles haven't decided when they'll break out the Foggy greys; however, popular early choices include the opener against Edinboro, homecoming against North Greenville or a home game to begin November against defending national runner-up Lenoir-Rhyne.
