Appalachian State University football has unveiled its alternate jerseys for the 2010 season.

The gold jerseys from the Nike Pro Combat line will be worn on occasion in 2010 in lieu of the Mountaineers’ traditional black and white jerseys.

This is the third-straight year that Nike has provided Appalachian with an alternate third uniform. Nike’s Pro Combat line has also been featured by Florida, Miami (Fla.), TCU and other prominent programs over the past year.

Appalachian’s version of the Pro Combat jerseys are gold with black tackle-twill numerals, black sleeves with white tackle-twill numerals and black ornamental stitching on the shoulder pads. The program’s motto of “Trust and Respect” is stitched into the inside of the collar.

The Mountaineers are expected to debut the new alternate jerseys on Sept. 18 when they host North Carolina Central for Fan Appreciation Day at Kidd Brewer Stadium. As in years past, the alternate jerseys will be auctioned online to fans at GoASU.com following their debut. However, this season the jerseys will not be distributed to auction winners until after the conclusion of the season, leaving the Apps the option to don the gold duds on more occasions throughout the year.
