Week 6 of the college football season features outstanding uniform combinations from several schools.
The No. 8 Tennessee Volunteers divert from their traditional orange-and-white look for something darker, and the Yale Bulldogs have some throwback threads ready for this weekend. But the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and No. 16 BYU Cougars arguably have the best uniform matchup of the week for their Shamrock Series game in Las Vegas.
Here’s a look at the gear that teams will wear during Week 6 of the college football season:
2022 Shamrock Series
After revealing the uniforms this summer, the Fighting Irish will finally don their 2022 Shamrock Series threads. The white jerseys feature Notre Dame’s classic shamrock on the sleeves and the school name across the front. The Golden Dome, which is located atop the main building on the school’s campus, and the glimmering lights of Las Vegas make up the shoulder stripe. In addition, the year of this game is featured on the back collar.

Yale will honor 150 years of football history with its threads this weekend. The jersey design is inspired by the Walter Camp era. According to the school’s website, Camp, an 1880 Yale graduate, was a two-time team captain and the head coach from 1888 to ’92. He is considered the father of American football because of his efforts in “reshaping the doctrines of English rugby into American football.”
The jerseys are the same cream color as Yale’s famous varsity sweaters and feature a faux stitching pattern down the middle. Looking closely, you can see excerpts from Camp’s 1893 book “Book of College Sports” on the numbers. The pants and helmets are in the Bulldogs’ traditional blue color.
