Call me old school, gold is not of NU's color scheme.
Agree with the white jerseys, as the Florida sun can create additional heat in dark jerseys. Hope it's the purple helmets.

Are the Vol helmets always white?

We wore the Smokey Grey helmets this season. To my knowledge, that is the first time in school history we have worn something other than white helmets.

In all likelihood we will wear orange jersey, white helmet, white pants in the Outback Bowl.



My personal favorite uniforms are all-white. Very clean look IMO. Really like the NU all whites pictured above...

Clearly you're not old enough: "The black-purple-gold color scheme is a nod to the school's colors of "purple and 'old gold'" before the University adopted purple as it's only official color (in 1892)." Link

I was also hoping for the Gothic uniforms, but all-white is fine too. I'm not a fan of the cat-head helmet- I don't think the logo is strong enough to stand on its own- so hopefully they go with the white helmet/purple 'N'.

Back in the days of leather helmets...UT actually wore orange leather helmets with a white cross along the top seams.

Good looking uni. I'd like to see what it would look like without the stripe across the chest.
That's something you probably won't see. Every uni outside of our special theme unis like the gothic look (below) will contain the Northwestern stripe. Under Armour designed it and it's unlikely we'll deviate without a complete redesign. NU fans generally like it a lot. Myself included. RE: "Gothic" unis that have been discussed - every element relates to NU and the campus.

I'm not much of a uniform critic so the white jersey seems fine. I do remember the last time we played the Vols, Nu wore black jerseys on a 90+ degree day. D. Autry was sick and a lot of other guys were having trouble with the heat that day and Barnett said afterwards that he regretted the choice of black jerseys, since NU had the option of wearing white.
