As college football uniform designs have grown flashier, crazier, and in some cases uglier, there’s always a go-to joke about them.
“They’ll glow in the dark!”
Well, Louisville and Adidas have taken that to the logical next step, as the Cardinals will be wearing these sweet glow-in-the-dark cleats:

Now, those are objectively cool, even for someone like me who says things like “objectively cool”.
And if you’re wondering if they have any actual functionality, well, no. Especially since the Louisville/NC State game is a noon ET kick.
But I’m just imagining how sweet they’d be to use in a game of night football, with those old Nerf balls that lit up from the inside. I want to play a game of touch football in those things right now.
