Texas A&M will open the 2024 season in the most high-profile way imaginable. In prime time and on national TV. At home in front of a packed Kyle Field. As a ranked team at No. 20 with high expectations.
And, the cherry on the cake, facing Notre Dame and a Fighting Irish team that is ranked seventh.
The occasion couldn’t be bigger, and so the Aggies needed to have the shiny uniforms to match the moment.
And, oh, do they.

Texas A&M will be sporting flashy white helmets — not the normal maroon domes — when the Aggies race onto the field in front of a sold-out stadium in College Station. They will wear maroon tops, which is standard for a home game, although you never know if they would switch things up for such a huge game.
The Aggies’ cleats will be white on Saturday night, stunning adidas white to be exact, and their pants will be white.
This will be Mike Elko’s official on-field debut for the Aggies, coming over this offseason from Duke.
Texas A&M better be dressed well for the glossy matchup. Passionate Aggies fans just hope their team’s play — and the result — will match their sharp threads. A&M is a 3-point favorite (ESPN Bet) in the game. Kickoff on Saturday night is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
