Week 9: October 26, 2024

Lots of white pants, black, yellow and red, with precious little blue or green. 

But seriously, the only new look was Minnesota who did a throwback helmet that mimics their 1960 helmet.

Week 8: October 19, 2024



Purdue, in its Friday night tilt against Oregon "flipped the script" which was possibly an attempt to reference Oregon's all-black uniforms from the previous big week? The Boilermakers went with a  stripped-back version of their black uniforms and added a script logo. The only script flipped was the fact that they didn't score any points. 

Illinois pulled out its much-anticipated 100th anniversary Red Grange uniforms against Michigan. More info here. This is one of the more successful leather-helmet throwbacks I have seen. The color combo in this game was nice since the Michigan blue complimented the blue/tan of Illinois.

Michigan State went mono-green for Homecoming, and Maryland went mono-red.
Nebraska and Indiana  provided a nice red/white opposites matchup, that only would have been better with Nebraska wearing red pants. Wisconsin (which looked like a twin of Nebraska) went mono-white in a nice contrast to the purple Northwestern. UCLA wore white pants which looked surprisingly good against red Rutgers.

Week 7: September 12, 2024

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.

Week 6: October 5, 2024

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.
