Week 7: October 10-11, 2025

A few special uniforms this week: 

• Washington—on Friday night against all-white Rutgers—wore their all-black ensemble, which seems pretty similar to their "Eclipse/World of Warcraft" special from last season's Friday night blackout. Some call it the Adidas "Strategy" uniform.
• Wisconsin threw it back to the 1990s-ish—could you tell? Oh yeah the W is old-school and they added a retro badger logo on sleeves, but not much else is different. 
• Penn State played in one of the versions of their "Generation of Greatness" set. Unfortunate timing after 2 weeks of non-greatness. And to be honest it is so similar to their normal set except for white collar, slightly different font, helmet number, pant stripes, and too-small retro lion logo. 
• Minnesota pulled out their throwback helmet. 
• Oregon opted for an uncommon (if you'd believe it) green and black combo of "normal" parts.
• Illinois went full pumpkin orange mono!

Week 6: October 4, 2025

A pretty normal weekend especially since Oregon was off. 

Minnesota, Wisconsin and Penn State all went completely mono-white and Michigan went mono blue.

In a nice synergy, all the teams that wear white helmets wore white pants and all the teams that wear metallic helmets had matching pants. And the only team to not match their helmet to their pants was Illinois

In an unusual move UW—on the road at Maryland—wore a rare gold/white/gold combo (looking more like UCLA) for a first time since the 1990s. It apparently is a move to remember the 1982 Aloha Bowl victory over Maryland, which was the only previous game between these two.

Week 5: September 27, 2025

Week 5 and pretty much all normal. Oregon did go with a black and white look for second week in a row, but all other teams were standard, with many teams idle!

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.
