Northwestern will be taking on the University of Maryland today in College Park, wearing a white helmet, white jersey, and purple pants combo. After last week’s bye week, the 1-5 ‘Cats will attempt to take down the 5-2 Terrapins.
This combo was first worn in 1963 against Illinois, where the Illini beat NU 10-9. Since then, the ‘Cats have a 3-19-1 record. All the wins were on the road, two of which were with the Under Armour uniforms.
Last year, the Wildcats wore this combination in a 30-23 loss to Duke. Prior to that, NU lost 22-10 versus Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game in 2020.
