UConn football unveils first red alternate jerseys for 2026 season

UConn football introduced a new red alternate jersey, set to debut in the 2026 season. This marks the first time a UConn program will wear a primarily red jersey, with the new design featuring white trim around the numbers. The uniform resembles the white away jersey, lacking additional red helmets or pants. UConn has not included red in its uniforms since 2019. The excitement around the new look follows a decade-long gap in alternate uniforms, as the last one featured gray sets with chromatic red trim during the 2016 season. UConn teased the jersey's release earlier this month, referencing previous unsuccessful uniform announcements.
