Ole Miss will debut new helmets during its Oct. 26 home game against Oklahoma.

The Rebels unveiled the new look in a series of Wednesday posts on X.

Ole Miss has climbed to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 following a 2-0 start to the season with blowout wins over Middle Tennessee and Wake Forest.

This is not the first time the Rebels have debuted a new uniform look this season. They also wore new jerseys during Saturday's win over Wake Forest that featured powder blue numbers and stripes with red accents.

Ole Miss has previously used its helmet designs as a recruiting draw. In June the program said on X that the Rebels had the "best helmets in college football" before attaching the hashtag #ComeToTheSip.

Ole Miss first debuted the current generation of camouflage helmets in September 2022 after announcing a partnership with Realtree.

The original helmets featured Realtree's "WAV3" camo design, which the 2024 helmets appear to display on top of a navy blue background rather than white.

Realtree founder and CEO Bill Jordan played as a wide receiver at Ole Miss, where he served as a target for Rebels quarterback Archie Manning from 1969 to 1971.

The Rebels are slated to play Georgia Southern on Saturday before SEC play begins the following week against Kentucky.

The Oct. 26 contest against Oklahoma, which will feature the debut of the navy blue camo helmets, also marks Ole Miss' second of three contests scheduled against current AP Top 25 opponents this season. It's additionally slated for a Oct. 12 contest at No. 16 LSU and before a No. 9 battle versus No. 2 Georgia.
