The Utes Equipment staff did a nice build up this week to the Ute Proud uniform via their Twitter account (@UtesEquipment). It is another look Utah has never used before. It features the satin red helmet with the Ute Proud Drum and Feather logo with the Ute Proud tribal art band running down the center of the helmet and a black face mask. The Ute Tribe seal appears on the back of the helmet. The helmet is paired with a black jersey, red pants, and black accessories. Utah has never worn a red-black-red combination previously.

Overall, I really like this look. The red-black-red combination is one I have felt Utah should bust out for awhile. The Ute Proud accents to the satin red helmet look great. The satin helmet, that Utah first worn against Michigan, is much better looking in my mind compared to the regular red helmet. I like this look a lot better than the Ute Proud uniforms from last year, which you can see below.
