Homecoming Spectacle

The special Jackson State football jerseys for Homecoming incorporate several key elements, notably the bold light blue and "JACKSON STATE" in white down the side of the pants, which matches the band members' vests and gauntlets.

The helmets are similar to those of the drum majors, featuring a navy blue primary color and the player's number on the right and the iconic "J" in light blue on the left, both outlined in white. Facemasks are white with the Riddell red logo, featuring two bold light blue stripes that run from north to south on the helmets.

This ain’t just a jersey. It’s a statement. Sonic Boom approved. 🩵💙 @SonicBoomOTS #TheeHomecoming #GuardTheeYard #LuvDaBoom pic.twitter.com/4aTrIvgC0C
