Louisville will wear these alternates against Clemson on Sept. 17. (@PhilHecken)

When Louisville takes the field against Auburn in its season opener, it will do so wearing its "Uncaged Cardinal" alternate uniform. But what fun is a season that features only one alternate uniform?

No fun, that's how much.

That's why the Cardinals have an alternate, alternate uniform, and they will debut their new all-black look against Clemson on Sept. 17.

I've always been a sucker for black uniforms, so my initial feelings about this look are good ones. I like the helmet, I like the design on the shoulder, and I like the "L" on the hip.

Good job, Louisville.
