For the third straight year, Ole Miss is adding some serious flair to its helmet lineup, and once again, they’ve teamed up with Realtree to do it. The Rebels revealed their newest alternate look: awhite camouflage helmet, the latest in what’s quickly become one of the most anticipated traditions in college football.
The camo concept began back in 2023 when Ole Miss debuted a powder blue and white pattern against Texas A&M. That design wasn’t just a fan favorite — it was voted 2023 UNISWAG Helmet of the Year. A year later, the Rebels doubled down on the creativity, unveiling a navy and white version for their matchup with Oklahoma in Oxford. Both helmets turned heads, and both games ended in Ole Miss victories.
Now, the 2025 edition takes things in a cooler direction with the crisp, icy white camo pattern. The Rebels will break out the helmet for a marquee Week 10 showdown with No. 13 South Carolina on November 1, hoping to continue the winning tradition tied to their alternate lids.
Between the design innovation, the collaboration with Realtree, and the on-field success, Ole Miss has carved out a unique space in the uniform game. If history is any indication, the icy white camo might not just be one of the cleanest looks of the year.
Florida Atlantic Football is turning 25 years old this season, and the Owls are marking their Silver Anniversary with a brand-new look. On August 21, just nine days before their season opener, FAU revealed their updated uniforms. The redesign also signals the start of the Zach Kittley era, ushering in a streamlined aesthetic that leans heavily into tradition and simplicity. The new set features: Two helmets: blue and white, Two jerseys: blue and white, and Two pants: blue and white.
Noticeably missing from the lineup is red, which has been reduced to an accent color rather than a primary element. This marks a significant shift from FAU’s recent uniform history, where red, along with black and even sand-colored alternates, made appearances throughout the last decade. For now, the Owls are keeping it clean and consistent, with blue and white as the foundation of the program’s identity.
While FAU may eventually reintroduce red helmets, jerseys, or pants down the line, the initial reveal focuses on four core combinations that balance tradition with a modern edge. The stripped-down look is designed to give the program a strong, cohesive brand presence as they enter their 25th season on the gridiron.
For a team looking to make a statement in the American Conference, these new uniforms represent more than just a change of wardrobe — they’re a symbol of a new era for FAU Football.
Wisconsin will debut a special throwback uniform on October 11, 2025, when the Badgers host Iowa for Homecoming. The look pays tribute to the program’s proud heritage, blending vintage design with modern performance technology.
The red jerseys carry a classic aesthetic, featuring bold block numbers outlined with a simple stripe. A block W and Bucky Badger logo add nods to past eras, appearing on the sleeves and the back of the uniform. To complete the look, the Badgers will sport white helmets with red facemasks, topped with the traditional block W that defined Wisconsin football in decades past.
This collaboration isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s a celebration of the history and culture that make Wisconsin Football unique. From the sound of “Jump Around” shaking Camp Randall to the program’s championship pedigree, the throwback set reminds fans and players alike of the legacy they carry every Saturday.
Come October, the Badgers won’t just be playing for a win against Iowa. They’ll be playing in a look that connects generations of Wisconsin fans to the tradition of one of college football’s most iconic programs.
The throwbacks are back in The Swamp. A fan-favorite look within the Florida Gators community, the 1960s throwback uniforms are returning this season after a four-year hiatus. Florida last wore the classic combo in 2021 against Vanderbilt, a game that ended in a dominant 42-0 victory. Now, the look is set to return on October 18 for the Gators’ Homecoming matchup against Mississippi State.
This year’s throwback combination features the iconic orange helmet with the interlocking “UF” logo, paired with blue throwback jerseys and white throwback pants. Over the years, Florida has showcased different variations of throwbacks, but this particular combo has cemented itself as a fan favorite — blending nostalgia with on-field swagger.
The Thundering Herd are going green again. Marshall Football unveiled a brand-new green alternate helmet for the 2025 season, bringing back a look fans haven’t seen since 2009. Complete with the program’s iconic “M” logo, the new lids will mark the first time in 15 years that the Herd will take the field in green.
The last time Marshall wore green helmets came in the 2009 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, a 21-17 victory over Ohio at Ford Field.
While the throwback connection is clear, the 2025 version comes with a modern twist. The helmet features a matte finish and Marshall’s current stylized “M” logo, a sleeker design compared to the block “M” of the past. The striping pattern remains similar to the late-2000s edition, but the updated aesthetic brings it in line with the program’s current brand identity.
From 2010 through 2021, Marshall stuck exclusively with white helmets. Over the past three seasons, the Herd introduced black lids to the rotation, giving the program a two-color helmet set. The addition of green in 2025 makes it a three-helmet rotation — white, black, and now the long-awaited green.
Kansas football is turning heads again with a twist on a fan-favorite alternate uniform. After debuting the all-black “Blackhawk” look a few years ago, KU is bringing that concept back for 2025, this time in white.
The “Blackhawk” first appeared in 2023 for a game against Illinois, featuring a full-on black palette: helmets, jerseys, pants, socks, and cleats. KU revived the look last year against UNLV, and fans loved it. The uniform’s defining features, the classic 1941 Jayhawk bird head, circus-style font spelling “Kansas,” and gameday flag on the back neck, made it instantly recognizable and deeply tied to the program’s traditions.
Adidas officially announced the 2025 return of the alternate, now dubbed the “Whitehawk.” Scheduled for KU’s Oct. 4 game against UCF, the Whitehawk flips the Blackhawk’s color scheme while retaining all the beloved elements. The jersey is white with red numbers outlined in blue, compared to the inverse on the black uniform. White pants complete the look, while helmet choices are still TBD, giving fans a chance to see multiple combinations in action.
A recent KU social media video showcases several ways the Whitehawk can be styled. Defensive end Justice Finkley wore the full white uniform, while quarterback Jalon Daniels modeled it with red pants, center Bryce Foster paired it with blue pants, and safety Lyrik Rawls added KU’s blue helmet. Running back Daniel Hishaw Jr. demonstrated a black helmet and black pants combination reminiscent of a previous road game at BYU. These mix-and-match options highlight the flexibility and creativity behind the alternate’s design.
The Whitehawk continues a three-year streak of KU experimenting with alternate looks. Beyond the Blackhawk, the Jayhawks wore all-red uniforms against TCU in 2024 and debuted a light-blue alternate for the 2024 season opener against Lindenwood. Each new uniform blends Kansas’ heritage with modern style, giving fans a fresh visual identity while honoring the program’s history.
With the Whitehawk, Kansas football proves it’s not afraid to take risks and embrace bold, memorable designs. Between the classic 1941 Jayhawk logo, circus font, gameday flag, and colorful striping, this alternate is a love letter to KU’s legacy — all while giving fans something new to rally behind in 2025.
The Nebraska Huskers are going dark this season for their Nov. 1 matchup against USC. The Huskers will don an all-black alternate uniform, marking the first trip to Lincoln for the Trojans since 2007.
The uniform stays true to the Huskers’ classic design while flipping the color script. The jersey mirrors the standard look with two white sleeve stripes and bold block numbers, but all the iconic red has been swapped for black. Even the famed red “N” on the helmet is now black. One subtle touch: the “Winning Tradition” patch has moved from the front of the jersey to the inside of the collar.
Nebraska fans are known for their Sea of Red, but for this game, the school is calling for a full blackout inside Memorial Stadium. Attendees are encouraged to wear black apparel, giving the Huskers a unified, intimidating presence as they face the Trojans. It’s a rare visual twist on one of college football’s most iconic home environments.
This isn’t the first time NU has gone dark. The last black alternate was worn in 2020 against Illinois. Previous black alternates include matchups against Indiana in 2019, Northwestern in 2015, and UCLA in 2013.
With this alternate, Nebraska not only nods to a history of bold uniform choices but also gives fans a fresh, intimidating look that’s perfect for the spotlight of November football.
NC State has revealed a new uniform that blends tradition, local pride, and modern design in a way that perfectly represents the Wolfpack and their hometown of Raleigh, the City of Oaks.
The defining feature of the uniform is the script "NC State" showcased on both the helmet and the front of the jersey. The inspiration comes from an old neon sign once found downtown, welcoming all to Raleigh. Just as NC State and the city have grown together since 1887, this script pays homage to that shared history.
Look closely at the jersey fabric and you’ll find a subtle pattern inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical design rooted in nature. Much like the acorn’s cap, where this sequence is famously visible, the detail reflects how art, science, architecture, and innovation thrive throughout Raleigh, making the city a true hub of culture and progress.
No symbol is more closely tied to Raleigh than the acorn. Known as the City of Oaks, the acorn is featured proudly on the front of the jersey and helmet. It’s a nod to a beloved local tradition, where every New Year’s Eve thousands gather downtown to watch the giant acorn drop at midnight.
And of course, no NC State uniform is complete without Wolfpack Red — bold, fierce, and instantly recognizable. As the school fight song reminds us: “We’re the red and white from State, and we know we are the best…”
With these thoughtful design touches, the “Script Pack” uniform is more than just a look; it’s a celebration of Raleigh, its history, and the Wolfpack’s connection to the city they proudly represent.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are going black for Week 2, unveiling an all-new all-black look nicknamed “Dark Mode.” The Bulldogs dropped the uniform reveal on social media with phrases like “Out of the Darkness” and “From the Shadows to the Spotlight,” setting the tone for their September 6th showdown against Arizona State in Starkville.
The jerseys are A simple black base with bold white block numbers. Across the collar sits “State” in script, paired with conference and maker’s marks. The sleeves feature two thick white stripes split by a thin maroon stripe, adding some balance.
The Helmets are Matte black with a stripe running down the middle in white–maroon–white. “State” appears in script on both sides, tying back to the jersey collar design.
The Pants are Black with a matching stripe pattern, thick white, thin maroon, thick white, mirroring the sleeve design.
Texas Tech football is honoring a century of tradition in 2025 with a special throwback uniform celebrating the program’s 100th anniversary. The look not only nods to the Red Raiders’ historic past but also highlights key milestones in uniform design that shaped the team’s identity over the decades.
The program’s first football team took the field in 1925, when the “Tech” wordmark first appeared on the team’s uniform. Just a year later, in 1926, the now-iconic Double T made its debut, establishing a logo that would become one of the most recognizable marks in college sports.
By 1930, Texas Tech was already pushing the boundaries of uniform design by incorporating the Double T into traction stripes, a cutting-edge look for its time.
In 1935, the program introduced jersey numbers to the front of the uniform for the first time, bringing both functionality and identity to the design. Fast forward to the mid-1960s, when stripes inspired by the Masked Rider and the horse’s breast collar were added to the uniforms in 1965, further cementing a connection to Tech’s most famous tradition. Just a few years later, in 1969, helmet stars were introduced as awards, giving players a chance to showcase their individual achievements while adding another memorable layer of style.
Each detail in the 2025 throwback uniform is a nod to these defining eras, from the early wordmarks to the stripes and symbols that became staples of Texas Tech’s identity. By weaving in elements from across decades, the Red Raiders’ centennial look is a visual timeline of 100 years of grit, innovation, and football in Lubbock.
As the Red Raiders take the field in their anniversary throwbacks, the uniforms will stand as more than just a jersey; they’re a tribute to the players, coaches, and fans who built Texas Tech football into what it is today.
