The "state-pride" uniforms are back.

CSU football coach Mike Bobo hinted during the 2018 season that the Colorado flag-inspired uniforms worn once in 2017 could return.

CSU athletic director Joe Parker dropped a subtle hint about it in Monday's release of a special homecoming helmet.

Now it's official.

The school announced Wednesday that the Rams would wear the "state-pride" uniforms on Nov. 2 against UNLV.

The uniforms were first worn Nov. 11, 2017, against Boise State and were supposed to be a one-time special uniform as part of Colorado State University's contract with Under Armour.

The uniforms and related apparel were widely popular. The white helmets used for the "state-pride" uniforms were then turned into the white-with-green-Ram-horn helmets that have become popular in CSU's gameday rotation.

On Monday, CSU unveiled a special 150th anniversary homecoming helmet to be worn Oct. 5. In that story on CSURams.com, Parker suggested the helmets could be used for other uniform combos.
