Week 4: September 19-20, 2025

Conference play started for most teams except for some in-state non-conference rivalry games in Washington, Oregon, and Indiana. Oregon trotted out a brand spanking new one-off uniform to honor Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman.

This week seemed to be like that old joke "What is black and white and red all over?"...as five teams played in mostly mono black or white, while the only colored jerseys were four of the red teams. 

Maryland at Wisconsin was a beautiful all-red and white affair, Michigan at Nebraska was a nice red-white-and-blue game. While a battle of Greek warriors happened with MSU Spartans vs. USC Trojans for the first time since 1990.

 

Week 3: September 12-13, 2025

Conference play starts for 4 teams and several Big 10 teams on the road. Several teams went full mono: Michigan State, Northwestern and Purdue. 

Week 2: Sept 5-6, 2025

Another week with mostly home teams so colorful and mostly traditional. Minnesota went full-mono for second week, this time maroon with giant gopher logo on one side of the helmet. Oregon went all green. MSU went black and white, Northwestern went with black pants, and UCLA wore white pants.

Week 1: Aug 28-30, 2025

All but two of the teams were at home, so a colorful and traditional look across the board for the 2025 opener, even with Oregon wearing about as old-school look as they muster. Minnesota and Northwestern were the only team to go full-mono.

2025-26 Schedule

 

Bowl Games and Playoff 2024-25

In the first round, half the Big-10 teams invited to bowl games played: three playoff games and three lower tier Bowl Games.  In the first weekend of playoff games, Penn State wore its "Generations of Greatness" alternate set at home and Ohio State wore its all-scarlet outfit at home. Indiana went mostly all white in loss at Notre Dame. All three games were won easily by the favorites. 

Big 10 Championship, December 7, 2024

Oregon vs. Penn State for the Big 10 Championship. Generic, all-white tradition vs. ever-changing black, bright green and chrome.
