The Auburn Tigers are making an adjustment to their helmets for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, the team announced Thursday.
The traditional white helmets with blue and orange stripes down the middle and the iconic blue and orange “AU” logo on the sides, will be upgraded to include a large print “WAR EAGLE” in raised, rubber lettering on the back.
Auburn tweeted out the news with a picture of the new-look helmet.
