Yesterday saw the unveiling of the special edition Adidas college football uniforms that the Wisconsin Badgers will wear for the 98th Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 2.
The new look is inspired by the grand old tradition of the Rose Bowl and the school’s back-to-back trips to “the Granddaddy of them all.” The white and red uniform features a “Battle Rose” design, including rose petal graphics within the jersey numbers, Motion W helmet logo and stripes, adidas TechFit compression base layer and adizero gloves.
“Wisconsin football has one of the most iconic looks in college football and to celebrate their back-to-back appearances in the Rose Bowl, our team wanted to create a special uniform for this year’s BCS bowl game,” said Mark Daniels, director of football for adidas. “Wisconsin has a rich football heritage and the Badgers’ traditional look and their Rose Bowl history are celebrated in the special edition uniform.”
To see how these uniforms contrast with the usual unis, check out this picture of Peter Konz and Kevin Zeitler below. It was taken at Lucas Oil Field when the Badgers celebrated their Rose Bowl berth after winning the Big Ten title game.
