Tulane released images of the new helmets that the team will wear during the 2024 season on Monday.

Everything that glitters is green ✨🟢<br><br>The all new white helmet is here! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UptownFootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UptownFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/okSd40U5YR">pic.twitter.com/okSd40U5YR</a>

The white helmet features green flakes as well as the signature blue and green stripes running from the front to the back of the helmet. The school's Green Wave logo is also still prominently featured on the side.

The latest helmet adds another wrinkle in Tulane's array of uniform combinations, as the team also uses green and light blue helmets.

The Green Wave will be attempting to surpass a double-digit win total for the third consecutive season in 2024, as they're coming off an impressive 11-3 campaign in 2023.

Jon Sumrall is replacing Willie Fritz as head coach after Fritz joined Houston in Dec. 2023. Sumrall won two Sun Belt titles with Troy, compiling a 23-4 record over the past two seasons.

The 2024 starting quarterback for the Green Wave is still uncertain, as redshirt freshman Darian Mensah is battling with Kai Horton and Oregon transfer Ty Thompson ahead of the team's Week 1 clash with Southeastern Louisiana on Aug. 29.

The run game should still remain one of the team's strengths, as Makhi Hughes is returning for his sophomore season after racking up 1,378 yards and seven touchdowns on 258 carries in 2023.

Tulane will attempt to earn its second AAC title in three seasons during the 2024 season, and they'll debut a new helmet while doing so.
