NEW YORK — Maryland and South Carolina will wear uniforms with camouflage designs during their games Nov. 14 to honor military veterans and promote the Wounded Warrior Project.

The black with tan camouflage uniforms, designed by Under Armour, will have a Wounded Warrior logo on them. Instead of players' names, the backs of the jerseys will have words such as courage, loyalty, integrity and service.

"Ooooh," South Carolina defensive tackle Ladi Ajiboye said Tuesday after seeing the camouflage cleats the Gamecocks will wear. "I could wear these the whole season."

The Wounded Warrior Project acts as an advocate for injured service men and women in Washington and provides services and programs for them. The 23rd-ranked Gamecocks play No. 2 Florida that day, and Maryland faces No. 15 Virginia Tech. Veterans Day is Nov. 11.

South Carolina's campus is 15 miles from Fort Jackson, the Army's largest training base.

Good job, Gamecocks!

(Even if the feds did steal some of my family's land for Ft. Jackson...)

I thought Maryland was going to wear camo in their uniforms so no one can see them play poorly.

Hoo boy that's going to make for some interesting play by play announcing. They'll end up like Khadaffi's translator by halftime.
