Abbeville High has new football uniform

The Abbeville Wildcats unveiled their new uniforms in front of fans, students, faculty, and family at Media Day in Wildcats Stadium Tuesday evening.
The new uniforms return to the traditional gray and white AHS color scheme. They may look familiar to college football fans as they mimic the Ohio State Buckeyes uniforms. The away jerseys are charcoal gray and red while the home jerseys are white and red.
After last season, head coach Jonathan Zenon felt it was time for a change. The old away jerseys were four years old while the home jerseys were six. He also saw the new uniforms as a way to reward his team.
“It’s a new look, new attitude,” Zenon said. “With the coaching staff we have now, we’re trying to show these guys that hard work does pay off. We didn’t have the season we wanted last year, but these guys did a lot this summer to prepare us for this season. They earned it.”
The uniforms were revealed to the players on Sunday. Senior wide receiver Braylon Himel was blown away when her first saw them.
“I was like, wow!” said Himel. “They look just like Ohio State’s, and they look really good on us. We love them.
Zenon said they were ready to suit up and play right there. It was a proud moment for him and his coaches.
“We revealed the jerseys to them two days ago, and they were fired up,” Zenon continued. “We had to reward those kids. They were great over the summer. Now we’re ready to start the season.”
