Wake Forest unveils 27 new uniforms for 2015 ACC title run

Fine, fine -- maybe "ACC title run" is a bit strong.

The Demon Deacons did go 3-9 (1-7 ACC) last year and have to climb up through a division that includes Florida State, Clemson and Louisville. Good point.

But hey, Wake is clearly trying to mark the beginning of a new era heading into Dave Clawson's second season in Winston-Salem, and the best way to do that and grab future recruits' attention?

New swag, of course.

Wake Forest joined the list of programs to unveil new uniforms for the 2015 season, and the Deacons came out with 27 different combinations of their new styles.

No, it's not Oregon-esque, but what is?

Here's all 27 new uniform combos in one graphic (view them all individually here):http://www.wakeforestsports.com/view.gal?id=179638

Wake has three basic foundations to build from: black jerseys and gold pants for home games, an all-white look for away games and an all-black alternate option. They'll mix and match from there.

Here's a little bit from Wake Forest's press release explaining some of the tradition-based details in the new uniforms:

"The new uniform design takes cues from the school's rich history, campus architecture and the Demon Deacon mascot. The black and gold uniform features a new custom number font honoring the university's founding in 1834. The numbers feature angled notches at 18 and 34 degrees, top and bottom respectively.

"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."

And here's the video Wake put together:
