SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – When the Utah football team begins the 2021 season on Thursday against Weber State, they will be sporting a rare uniform combination.
Utah equipment announced that the team will wear black helmets with red jerseys and red pants on Thursday night against the Wildcats at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, the Utes have worn this combination just once and that was on senior day against Colorado on November 28, 2015.
Utah picked up a 20-14 win and ended up finishing the season with a 10-3 record that concluded with a win the Las Vegas Bowl against BYU.

Utah and Weber State will kickoff at 5:30 p.m. MDT and will be televised on the Pac-12 Network.
