Wake Forest shows off redesigned uniforms for 2015 (Video)

Wake Forest released its new uniforms for 2015 on Tuesday with the help of a very dramatic video.

According to the school's release, the jerseys feature a custom font to honor the school's founding in 1834.

The jersey sleeves feature a new pattern providing an unmistakable connection to Wake Forest's history. Drawn from the University Shield and the wrought-iron architectural details that punctuate the campus, the graphic forms a stylized "W." Its arching branches are suggestive of growth and collaboration -- keys to success as Coach Dave Clawson enters his second season with the Demon Deacons. The jersey collar references the Demon Deacon mascot, adopted by the university first as a term to describe the football team's play in the 1920s, and then introduced as a physical presence at games by students two decades later. Further graphic details include the words "Deacon Tough," symbolic of the program's fighting spirit, embroidered on the back of the neckline of the jersey, and Wake's "WF" logo on the hip of the pant.

Does the description mean the school would switch uniforms if or when Clawson is no longer the coach? Clawson arrived at the school from Bowling Green before the 2014 season.

Here are the uniforms in picture form. The set on the left is the alternate while the away uniform is in the middle and the road is on the right.

For comparison's sake, here's the black jersey Wake Forest wore last year.

We like the matte black helmets, though we've made no secret of our affinity for the style. We think the black jerseys on the left look the best of the three, at least in the pictures. The gold-dominated pattern stands out too much on both the white and the third jerseys.

What do you think?
