WASHINGTON — Expect to see the Terps decked out in new football uniforms this weekend when the team takes on West Virginia.
The new duds will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Baltimore at Fort McHenry and the writing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The new uniforms come as the university extended its partnership with Baltimore-based Under Armour. The apparel company will provide the school with clothing, footware and equipment through the 2023-2024 school year.
