App State has been Nike since 2007. The first game with Nike football uniforms was Michigan and I bet Phil Knight liked seeing his logo on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
On Wednesday, App State Equipment announced an all-gold uniform look.

App State has worn gold pants and gold uniforms before, but not together. Later on Wednesday, App State showed the new gold look combined with other looks.
The school boasts that there are 21 uniform combinations now, including three logos on the matte black helmet. The black Block A, the stars and stripes Block A which will be worn on Thursday, November 5th versus Arkansas State, and a gold Victory Yosef.
A look at the 2015 App State schedule poster might reveal what games certain jerseys will be worn in. Despite App State saying it's up in the air, the poster has gold Block A's next to the September 5th game vs Howard and the Halloween game vs Troy.
