Northwestern will sport a classic uni combo on Saturday, opting for a purple helmet that’ll be paired with white jerseys and the pants to match. The Wildcats have played 10 games in the mostly-white fits during the Under Armour era, walking away with just three wins in those contests.
All-time, Northwestern has played 130 times in the purple-white-white combo, holding a record of 45-84-1. The set made its first appearance in 1942 against Texas. The combination is most commonly used on the road, where NU will be at Minnesota Saturday, as Northwestern has a 40-70-1 record away from Ryan Field.
