LOOK: Rutgers offers up close look at unique helmets for Blackout against Illinois
This is an incredible look that the Scarlet Knights will be wearing Saturday.
Rutgers announced Saturday’s Blackout last week with a special reveal of the sweet Adidas uniforms. The combination features black pants and uniforms with red stripes and red numbers outlined in white.
The look is incredible, but what caps off the impressive look is a special edition helmet. Rutgers’ helmet for the combination will be a black dome with black face mask. On the sides of the helmet will be an outline of the state of New Jersey in red metallic. The black helmet really makes the red stand out in impressive fashion.
Rutgers Football tweeted multiple close ups of the lid for the game against Illinois:
