First-year Gamecocks corner Jamarcus King.

The anticipated wait is over. No, not just for South Carolina football. I’m talking about uniforms! The Gamecocks will take the field with a new look.

Players will be dressed in garnet helmets, black jerseys and white pants. The garnet helmets were worn once last year when the Gamecocks played Clemson. They were remodeled after head coach Will Muschamp arrived.

Black has been a popular color ever since his tenure started at Carolina, most notably the matte black helmets and jerseys worn sporadically worth throughout fall camp.

Kickofff between the Gamecocks and the Vanderbilt Commodores is at 8 p.m. ET in Nashville, broadcasted on ESPN.
