The Alabama Crimson Tide revealed the new jerseys they will be wearing in the Cotton Bowl as they play their College Football Playoff semifinal. Alabama will play Cincinnati on Dec. 31, with the winner earning a spot in the National Championship Game.

Alabama’s Cotton Bowl jerseys

In a short video released by the Alabama Football Twitter account on Saturday, the jerseys being worn in the Cotton Bowl were revealed. The reveal video showed several of Alabama’s brightest stars wearing the Cotton Bowl jerseys while having fun and posing for the cameras.

Henry To’oto’o, Phidarian Mathis, Jordan Battle, Brian Robinson Jr. and Evan Neal are among the players showcasing the uniforms. Heisman-winning quarterback Bryce Young shows off as well, along with Jameson Williams who strikes his Karate Kid touchdown celebration pose.

The jerseys don’t change much of the iconic Alabama look, but the prominent Cotton Bowl logo is emblazoned on the left shoulder. Below it slightly is the Nike logo that Alabama jerseys normally display, but in a metallic design that shines under the lights.

On the right shoulder is the SEC patch that SEC athletes all wear, along with the word “graduate” beneath it for players who have completed their undergraduate degrees. Dead center of it all, beneath the collar is the Alabama “A” logo.

Alabama’s begins “two-game season” against Cincinnati

Entering the SEC title game, Alabama didn’t care about the fact that they were the underdog. The Crimson Tide took care of their own business and only focused on the task at hand. Now, Nick Saban and Alabama have a new season that begins with a CFP matchup with Cincinnati.

“I think it gave us the opportunity to have a two-game season,” Saban said of what the win over Georgia meant. “We have a two-game season now – I hope. That’s what we’re going to work for, that’s what we want to do. These players have worked hard all year long. I think they deserve a lot of respect for what they’ve been able to accomplish and what they’ve been able to do, but at the same time, how are you going to look forward? It’s how do we move forward?

“We’ve created an opportunity for ourself where we have the chance to play in the College Football Playoff. How are we going to prepare? How are we committed to do the things we need to do? Really, really pleased and proud for this team creating an opportunity to be in the playoffs, to play in the playoffs. This is always kind of our goal, so I was really pleased and happy for the players to see them be able to accomplish that goal.”

Alabama will be looking to carry that momentum and energy into the CFP. Cincinnati and Alabama will face off on Dec. 31.
