Deion Sanders and his Colorado team kick off their pursuit of redemption on Thursday, August 29, facing off against FCS powerhouse North Dakota State. This matchup is certainly no easy start for the Buffs, as the Bison are ranked No. 2 in the FCS and have a 9-4 record against FBS teams since 2006.
Nevertheless, Sanders and his squad aim to build on their 4-8 season in 2023, during which they began with a 3-0 record, and capture the attention of the college football scene. Once again, all eyes will be on them this Thursday, with fans nationwide eager to see their new uniforms, which have sparked mixed reactions on social media.

“An L before the game even starts,” commented one fan.
“The traditional gold helmets are far better,” noted another. “Honestly, they could have just played in the practice uniforms; these are terrible,” chimed in another supporter. On the other hand, some fans are embracing the new style. “These are awesome. Love the flatirons,” expressed one fan who appreciated the design.
“Those uniforms are fantastic,” added another. Regardless of the mixed opinions among fans, several players showcased the new jerseys on their Instagram stories, indicating their approval. As we know, Sanders believes that looking good goes hand in hand with playing well. According to ESPN, Colorado is currently an 11.5-point favorite and holds a 71.3% chance of defeating the Bison.
