USC Football Gives Look Into Future With New Uniforms During Epic Recruiting Weekend Full Of Yacht Parties And Luaus
USC football will not join the Big Ten conference this fall, but next. Thus, any recruit that commits to play for the Trojans in the Class of 2024 will never experience the Pac-12.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, they will play all four years alongside Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State and the like. They won't play Oregon, Washington, Stanford, etc. unless it's a non-conference matchup.
With the impending change in conference comes a forthcoming change in uniform.
No, USC is not getting rid of its classic kits. It would never.
However, where the Pac-12 patch graces the right breast of the Trojans' jerseys, a Big Ten patch will take its place. They offered their first look into the future over the weekend.
USC hosted a large number of top 2024 recruits for an incredible official visit full of impressive activities for parents and athletes alike. Of course, as is with any visit, there was the photoshoot portion.
It was there that the Big Ten patch made its debut.
Whether you're a fan of the move or not, seeing one of the West Coast's most classic teams wearing the logo of a conference that is predominantly based out of the northeast and midwest is weird. The switch will take some getting used to.
As for the rest of the weekend, USC really rolled out the red carpet.
Legendary safeties Taylor Mays and Ronnie Lott were in L.A. to help pitch their alma mater. That was during the on-campus portion of the weekend.
And then the Trojans hit the water for a yacht party with recruits and their families.
Once they were back on shore, it was time for a Hawaiian luau at a luxurious Los Angeles mansion, which just so happened to be the home of Lincoln Riley.
They ate where LeBron James had dribbled. Casual.
Quite a few college football programs across the NCAA had their top recruits in town over the weekend. None of them did it how USC did it.
The Trojans went all-out for their recruits, who will play only in the Big Ten!
