The Maryland Terrapins are the latest college football program to wear the special Under Armour 150th anniversary celebration uniforms. The Terrapins will don the throwback look for their annual homecoming game against the Michigan Wolverines in College Park.
Maryland’s throwback uniforms will pay tribute to some of the stars from the 1980s.
“The Terps will suit up in historic throwback uniforms that pay tribute to some of the greatest Terrapin players and coaches of all-time. Among them are Boomer Esiason, who donned this very uniform as quarterback for the University of Maryland from 1981-1983 – setting 17 school records and securing an ACC title – before going on to a storied NFL career, and his head coach Bobby Ross, a pioneer who transformed Maryland football into one of the country’s top-ranked programs almost immediately after taking the reins in 1981,” a statement read.
“The standards established by their collective leadership over three decades ago is largely still in place. Their bold and fearless gameplay is embodied by the powerful red jerseys that will drape the players’ shoulder pads on gameday.”
The helmets will also feature the script “Terps” lettering.
“I can’t tell you how happy I am to see what I think is the most beautiful helmet in college football history making a return for this game against Michigan,” Boomer Esiason said.
Kickoff between the Terrapins and No. 14 Wolverines at Byrd Stadium is set for 12:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
