With the ‘Cats 2021 season opener just around the corner, Northwestern football is back to their regularly scheduled uniform releases one day prior to kick-off. This year’s week one fit is arguably one of the best alternate uniforms in college football: the ‘Cats are going gothic.
Reminiscent of the architecture and distinct calligraphy that dons the signage on both Northwestern’s downtown Chicago and Evanston campuses, the gothic uniforms offer a classy symbolic twist on the ‘Cats favorite blackout uniform commonly worn for night games. Last worn in Northwestern’s HAT victory against Illinois last season, this will be the fifth time the ‘Cats have suited up in gothic lettering.
