A very Black-and-White week in the Big 10. A huge #2 vs #3 showdown in Eugene this week with the Ducks in all-black against Ohio State in mostly all-white. They were joined by Maryland in mono-black while the Terp's opponent Northwestern opted for black in place of purple.
Illinois used their alternate star/number helmet this week paired with all-blue. Minnesota went stormtrooper at UCLA. All-white also encompassed Penn State and Wisconsin and mostly Purdue.
The only two unusual outfits this week were Oregon and tOSU. Ohio State donned their all-gray uniforms, while Rutgers and Michigan State their all-white stormtrooper uniforms. In the almost-mono camp, Oregon wore its special "Stomp Cancer" yellow uniform, Minnesota went maroon in their matchup with similarly-colored USC, Washington went purple, Indiana went white, while Northwestern leaned into its black and purple. Nebraska and Wisconsin were near virtual clones in white-red-white.
Relatively normal week in what is the first all-conference game lineup. Some teams like Ohio State and Minnesota and Wisconsin hit the road for the first time! and Michigan still has not had a road game!
Minnesota went all-white along with the retro Golden Gopher decal on left side of helmet. Both Purdue and Rutgers went black-out. Oregon wore their new throwback-ish road yellow-white uniforms.
Penn State wore its regular "Generation of Greatness" alternate uniform with (forgive my new-toBig-ness) no TV numbers, but helmet numbers, pant stripe, facemask, and slightly different number font. Woh, way to get crazy PSU!
Several teams went full mono and that was partially because of their opponent's colors:
UCLA wore white pants which is not a common happening. And with Purdue wearing white pants on the road, half the 16 teams playing wore white pants!
Minnesota went all-gold, Maryland went-all white, and Northwestern went all-black. Against another gold team in Notre Dame, Purdue opted for more black.
Another early season game where most teams were home. Only Michigan State was on the road and wore all white. The other mono teams were Illinois in all-orange and Michigan in all-blue. The only other unusual combo was Northwestern wearing black and white. Oregon wore same upper half as last week but swapped in white pants, making for a rare combo for them. Half the league wore white pants.
Week one and a pretty good looking set of games since most were home games. Oregon and Penn State were the only teams going full mono and more than a third of the teams wore red jerseys.
