It's Traditions Day at Central Michigan on Saturday, so the team will be wearing some sweet throwback jerseys against Toledo.

The matte helmets have just a stripe down the middle and the mustard jerseys feature a "C" in the front. The front number is on the left chest, and the shoulder features alternate mustard and maroon panels. It's a toast to the 1960's era uniforms that the Chips wore.

If there was ever a throwback uniform that would be complete with leather helmets, this is it. It's an awesome look.
