Northwestern will be decked out in a new uniform combo as it travels to College Park to face Maryland on Saturday.

While the Wildcats are 1-5 on the season, they’ll look to start the back end of the slate on the right foot. One promising statistic: they’ve beaten the Terrapins in both of the 2 teams’ previous meetings on the gridiron, first on the road by a 37-21 final in 2017 before a 43-3 blowout victory in Evanston in 2020. That said, this is a different Maryland team, led by star quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, a game-time decision due to a knee injury.

Ahead of the Week 8 contest, Northwestern revealed a new uniform combination. As you can see below, they will be wearing white helmets with the familiar “N” logo in Northwestern purple, along with white jerseys with purple trim and purple pants:

Can the Wildcats turn things around? Kickoff against the Terrapins is set for 3:30 p.m. ET, with the game to be televised on the Big Ten Network.
