Vic Ketchman of Jaguars.com reports Jacksonville Jaguars Owner Wayne Weaver made a special presentation today at the Touchdown Club inside Jacksonville Municipal Stadium as he unveiled the club’s updated logo as well as new home and road uniforms and new-look helmet.

Weaver was joined by head coach Jack Del Rio and representatives from Reebok, JDSU and the NFL. Ten Jaguars players, including Maurice Jones-Drew, David Garrard and Rashean Mathis modeled the uniforms. Long snapper Joe Zelenka served as the emcee of the event.

“There will no longer be mixtures of black and teal or all black,” Weaver said in describing the new uniform look. “So when people see the Jaguars on television, that’s who we are. So I’m excited about that. I’m also excited about what we did with our logo. We think we’ve taken our logo and tweaked it in a way that it gives it a little bit of a modern flair but still a classic look, and one that we think will stand the test of time.”

“In taking part in some of these meetings in terms of design and looking at it and visiting with Mr. Weaver, it was apparent that there was a real desire to get back to a real clean look,” Del Rio said. “I think when you see the uniforms you’re going to see that. A real clean look, something that we think will have a timelessness about it, and so we’re excited about that. I think anytime there is something new, it’s fresh, it’s exciting and obviously it ties in perfectly to be unveiling our new uniforms along with the draft coming up this weekend. We’re going to have a freshness about us.”
