Alabama, Cincinnati Reveal Their College Football Playoff Uniforms

The Crimson Tide and Bearcats will face off at the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Eve.

Alabama and Cincinnati football will face off in a historic Cotton Bowl on Friday, Dec. 31. The game will be the first College Football Playoff contest to feature a “Group of Five” program, with the Bearcats earning a bid out of the AAC.

With just over a week until game day, both programs have revealed their threads for the huge matchup.

The Crimson Tide will be in a classic look, with crimson jerseys and white pants. The jerseys feature a large Cotton Bowl logo on the left shoulder, above the “fractal diamond swoosh” that Nike has been using for its teams' College Football Playoff uniforms with 2014.
