JACKSONVILLE – They're back. At long last.
The Jaguars in celebration of their 30th season early Thursday morning unveiled their much-awaited "Prowler Throwbacks," a uniform based on the team's original 1995 expansion uniforms.
The Prowler Throwbacks will make their debut Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville on October 6. That's the day former Head Coach Tom Coughlin is to be inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars.
"Everywhere I go and from every comment I read, it's apparent our fans are longing to see Jaguars' players in throwback uniforms," Jaguars President Mark Lamping said in a statement. "That persistence paid off and our uniforms reminiscent of the team's early years are back by popular demand – just in time for the 30th season and, in particular, the Pride of the Jaguars induction of our inaugural head coach, Tom Coughlin."
The Prowler Throwbacks were revealed on social media on Thursday in a 1990s-themed video featuring safety Andre Cisco, cornerback Tyson Campbell and Jaguars legend/right tackle Leon Searcy.
The video's soundtrack: the song "Uh-Oh" song performed by the 1999 Jaguars team that produced a franchise-record 14 regular season victories.
The "Prowler Throwbacks" name stems from the running Jaguar embroidered on the sleeves of the jerseys, which also feature a vintage three-color number. The pants feature a teal stripe with gold and black piping going along the length of the pants.
The helmets will have the original Jaguars logo on the side used by the team in the inaugural season of 1995 until 2013. Fans can also expect to see throwback elements throughout EverBank Stadium on game day during Week 5.
