Eastern Michigan will be changing up its look for a home game against Toledo on Oct. 13.

And it wants Eagle fans to decide what that look will be.

EMU is asking fans to vote on which helmet, jersey and pants combination the team will wear during the game. In addition, the school will be awarding a replica helmet to one voting participant.

The jersey choices are either a green top with the words "Eastern Michigan" across the chest in white letters, or a gray option with "Eagles" on the front in green lettering.

The pant options include green, white or gray -- all three with a block "E" placed on the left hip.

As for the helmets, fans can decide between traditional green with a block "E," matte gray helmets with a green "E" or matte white helmets with a green "E."

Fan voting will run until Friday, Aug. 31 and the winning combination will be announced prior to kickoff of the Oct. 13 game.

Fan voting will take place on EMU's official athletic Facebook page, on Twitter and at EMUEagles.com.
