Fresno State debuted a new set of black uniforms for its “Fright Night” homecoming game on Oct. 26, a resounding 33-10 win over longtime rival San Jose State. It was the first time the Bulldogs have worn black uniforms since 2015.

Tarlton & Son construction, based in Fresno, played a significant role in making the new uniforms possible. The look featured a never-before-seen twist – a black helmet with a red Bulldogs script logo. Mini helmets are available for purchase at retailers including Kennel Marketplace and Bulldog Locker. An above capacity crowd of 41,343 watched the Bulldogs win back the Valley Trophy, marking the Bulldogs’ third sellout in their first four home games this season. Fresno State leads the Mountain West and Group of Five in attendance.
