The Trojans uniforms are known for being classic and the same cardinal and gold every week. The current helmet logo actually began during that 1972 season. The modern-day USC jerseys feature players' numbers on both shoulders, but the throwback uniforms replace the numbers with three stripes.

While some programs consistently release alternate jerseys or entire new designs, USC is one of few teams that has stayed true to the school's traditional uniforms. The Trojans throwback jerseys turned the clock back to the 70's.

USC wore stripes on their shoulders from 1972 to 2002, when the uniforms were last updated. After coach Pete Carroll's first year at USC, the jerseys were changed back to the style that the team wore in from 1958-1970, and the Trojans have stuck with the design throughout the 21st century.

The Trojans are the only program to have never put last names on the backs of their jerseys. . . Is this a sign that maybe more changes are to come for USC?

USC is hoping the fresh look may provide a spark. USC is currently 4-5 overall and 2-5 Big TenConference. The Trojans need two win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible. USC redshirt sophomore quarterback Jayden Maiva will make his first USC start against Nebraska.

Watch the full uniforms release video below. Cool note about the video, it was filmed entirely on Super 8 film. The Trojans players hop in a red convertible and roll into into Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum wearing the new uniform combination and groovy vibes.

for the first time in a long time... we're bringing back a classic 👀🎥✌️

The landscape of college football continues to change after the introduction of Name, Image, and Likeness, the transfer portal, and conference realignment. While USC might be breaking tradition by introducing alternate uniforms, the Trojans are also highlighting their student-athletes with social media exposure.

The USC Trojans and Nebraska Cornhuskers, both in the hunt for bowl eligibility, will face off on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 1 p.m. PT in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
