The Crimson Tide wore white helmets in eight games during the Ray Perkins era, most recently in a 29-7 win at Cincinnati on Nov. 17, 1984. Former Alabama coach Nick Saban said in 2022 that he didn’t envision ever changing from the current look, and first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer echoed those sentiments on Wednesday.

Alabama has one of the more traditional uniforms in college football, specifically with the helmet. All crimson with a number has been a staple of the program for quite some time, pairing with both the home and away uniform.
