With the selection of a purple jersey, purple helmet and white pants comes both bad and good news for superstitious Northwestern fans. The bad news first: according to The Daily Northwestern’s Ella Brockway, the ‘Cats have lost each of the last three times they’ve worn this uniform. The good news, though, is that the last time the Wildcats sported this combo against Wisconsin in 2014, they pulled off a 20-14 upset.
Week 5 Uniform Intel!
