Deion Sanders wants his players to look good and play well every day. It's the same reason why he has hand-picked and detailed new suits for the team to show off before facing Nebraska on Saturday.

The Buffs players went for an on-campus fitting in July. The grey jacket and pants will be matched with black dress shirts. A "CU believe" design on the inside of the suit is the flashy feature to the attire. They'll also have ties from Coach Prime's neckwear line.

Colorado is the talk of the college football world. The Buffaloes shocked last year's national runner-up TCU to open the season last week. They'll look to keep the spotlight on them, with Nebraska coming to Boulder for rivalry week. All the feelings of a 90s heyday meeting with new blood, especially on Colorado's side with 86 new players on the roster.

“We’ve got a lot of eyes on us, so you know I had to make sure the team was looking right, down to all the details from the color of the stitches to the I BELIEVE on the inside,” Sanders told GQ.

The world-renowned men's fashion publication named Coach Prime to Sports Style Hall of Fame in February.

Sanders does another collaboration with Strahan, who's on board with the production of Prime's Amazon show. The two Hall-of-Famers are intertwined in the business and have a relationship spanning decades. 

“Working with Strahan and his team on these custom suits has been a tremendous blessing for our program,” Sanders said. “They believed in the movement since Day 1 and [it] was only right to partner with them yet again.”

No. 22 Colorado hosts Nebraska on Saturday, Sept. 9 at noon ET on FOX.
