The Wildcats will unveil their new "Northwestern Gothic" uniforms when the Wildcats host Nebraska on Oct. 18.

According to the Northwestern football website, 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 its only official color.

"Northwestern" is spelled out on the front of the jersey in a typeface taken from the signs that are ubiquitous on the Evanston campus, with the distinctive spoked "T." The Northwestern Arch is represented on the back of the helmet, and the arches on the shoulder are reflective of the architecture throughout campus, especially the windows of Deering Library. The jersey (shoulders) and pants (back) both have ivy detailing like so many of the structures throughout the University."
