Baylor football unveils new uniforms ahead of 2024 season

The Baylor Bears have unveiled their new look for the 2024 season.

In a video posted to social media, the university revealed three new color schemes — green, white and gold — to be worn next season. Baylor also revealed a fourth uniform: anthracite.

Dave Aranda is entering his fifth season as Baylor’s head coach. While the Bears have seen some of the highest highs in program history in his tenure — a Big 12 title and Sugar Bowl win in 2021 — there has also been a level of mediocrity in the ever-changing Big 12.

Baylor went 3-9 last season, Aranda’s third season under .500 in Waco, pushing his overall record to 23-25 as the program looks for a rebound year under new offensive coordinator Jake Spavital.

Spavital is coming off his second one-year stint as offensive coordinator at Cal, where he also was in 2016. He began his coaching career as West Virginia’s quarterbacks coach from 2011-12, then went to Texas A&M as offensive coordinator/QBs coach for three seasons. His first departure from Cal came to return to West Virginia at OC from 2017-18 before four seasons as head coach at FBS team Texas State.

Aranda was the defensive coordinator for LSU’s national championship in 2019 before becoming Baylor’s head coach. He is expected to take over play-calling duties on defense even with Matt Powledge remaining as defensive coordinator

Cal became bowl eligible for the first time in four seasons after winning their last three regular-season games. The Pac-12 Bears averaged 31.6 points a game and were fourth in the heir league with 181.1 yards rushing per game.

Baylor was 13th in the 14-team Big 12 this season scoring 23.1 points a game and 11th averaging only 377.8 total yards per game. The Bears were last in scoring defense, giving up 33.3 points a game.
