Miami will wear special alternate uniforms on Saturday for Military Appreciation Day.
The program unveiled the new look from adidas on Monday morning and said the unique combination “pays homage to the U.S. military.” Included with the all-black uniform and helmet combination are a camouflage baselayer and camouflage gloves.

The team will also debut brand new “Delta Force” cleats that are “constructed from a durable, flexible canvas similar to military accessories and footwear.” The cleats also feature “embroidered stripes” that “pay tribute to the insignia found on elite forces uniforms.”
The uniforms will be worn on Saturday when the Hurricanes (5-3, 2-2 ACC) host Virginia (3-5, 2-2) at Sun Life Stadium. As part of Military Appreciation Day, the school has provided 1,000 free tickets to the game to veterans and current military members.
