Louisiana-Monroe will wear special alternate uniforms in its Saturday home opener. The game against Nicholls State also doubles as Military Day at Malone Stadium, and the new uniforms reflect the special day.
Take a look:

The various designs on the uniform are meant to pattern a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk plane used in World War II. ULM has used the “Warhawks” nickname since 2006 (replacing “Indians” after 75 years), though it usually uses a red-tailed hawk as its logo.
The new look was unveiled to the team earlier this week. The reaction was positive, as you’d expect.
Coming off a 4-8 2014 season, ULM dropped its opener 51-14 on the road at Georgia last Saturday. The Warhawks should face a less-daunting challenge against FCS Nicholls State this weekend.
