Boston College finally unveiled its new uniforms for 2025, ushering in a new era in its football history. The reveal, part of a promotional video released through a series of photos, features a design that honors the past while bringing some touches of modernity. This is the first football uniform release since the Eagles came under 100 percent full benefit of New Balance, unifying all of the varsity sports teams under one apparel umbrella.
Classic Boston College football uniform design returns with fresh elements
Boston College fans have always favored a little tradition with their maroon and white, and the 2025 uniforms will lean heavily on that style with gold piping accents. You can see one identifiable design change, however, reflecting the shoulder stripes that were not seen in last year's Adidas kits. These stripes bring a fresh and contemporary look to the design without straying away from the school's tradition-filled past.
Also, one of the solid gold helmets will be worn, a fan favorite, but the clean, stripe-free option. Much more prominent gold detailing on the pants, similar to the uniforms from the Doug Flutie era. It's a time-honored yet modern view of the Eagles as they are ready to get going with a new season.
New Balance football gear deal brings full branding shift for Boston College
This uniform drop is the last step in Boston College's complete transition to New Balance, which has been outfitting all other BC sports since 2021. BC's football program had been with Adidas until this point, but New Balance fully takes hold of football apparel with this deal, meaning BC is the only Power Five school with a football deal exclusive to New Balance, at least through the 2025 season.
