It's official: the Maryland throwback jerseys and script helpmets are making a comeback. No, it's not a permanent change as many Terps fans have asked for, ut the popular uniforms will be worn on Oct. 1 when Maryland hosts Michigan State.

Maryland announced the move in a Tweet on Monday night:

??radition in every ??hread ???????????? ?????????? is back on Oct. 1#??BIA

The throwback uniforms and script helpmets, a call back to the program's 1980s style, are a big hit among the fanbase. A description from a press release from last year, when the Terps unveiled them for their season-opening win over West Virginia:

"Recognizing the 25th Anniversary of Under Armour, the Terps will don these special white Airvent ArmourGrid jerseys with red numbers and black and gold trim. The look will be complete with red helmets featuring the iconic Terps script logo and red pants to mirror the team's look of the 1980s. The design and execution of the uniforms features a 'future/throwback' look recognizing the past while pushing the future. The jersey is lightweight ripstop fabric designed to resist rips and tears with lightweight stretch Smoke Stack mesh for breathability and improved fit. The uniform features a lenticular back-neck lockertag containing two overlapping images recognizing Maryland's glorious era of the 1980s and 25th anniversary of UA. The throwback branding features the Terps 1980s logo while the modern branding includes Maryland's M-Bar logo of 2021."

Fans have called for the program to adopt them as its full-time style, including ESPN anchor-superfan Scott Van Pelt.

All you have to do is give people what they want. Terps script on helmets for football. For hoops, there are a bunch of superior options: the old school turtle on the M, or the flag on top of the M from the title team. Lots of M schools. One Terps school. This isn’t tricky.

More from that press release last season:

"The uniform numbers are a unique laser-cut pattern created to mimic traditional porthole meshing. The Throwback Under Armour is a dimensional TPU applique, showcased on the jersey left-chest and pant right-hip. The throwback Terps logo is also a dimensional TPU applique on the pant left-hip. The sleeve stripes are plastisol screen-printed to mimic traditional execution and enhance color vibrancy. The pant stripe is sublimated on the side-panel to mimic 1980s uniform."
