Auburn and Oregon know all eyes will be on them when they compete for college football's BCS national championship Monday in Glendale, Ariz.
And they figure they might as well look good while doing it.
Each school will sport new components to their uniforms; Oregon will wear practically an entirely new ensemble from Nike, while the changes Under Armour has provided for Auburn are more subtle. Yet both schools are incorporating new technology in what they wear.
New gloves and cleats are on the menu for Auburn. Two types of gloves are in store for the Tigers, with the palm of each glove sporting black tiger print over a tan background and a 'UA' logo at the center. "The designers worked with Auburn to tie it back to UA," said Matt Mirchin, SVP of sports marketing for Under Armour.
The gloves offer two designs on the top of the hand -- one has a charcoal gray base with black lines fading out from the pinky to the index finger, with 'War Eagle,' Auburn's battle cry, running along the index finger. The other glove is gray with straight black lines running from the base through the index and pinky fingers. The middle of the glove has a lightning bolt graphic that symbolizes Under Armour's Bolt line of cleats and apparel.
