Purdue last wore gold jerseys in the 2003 season opener, a 27-26 loss at home to Bowling Green that eventually prevented us from having a 10-win season. They ended up being a special one-off jersey, as they were the first gold jerseys with black numbers after a season of hard-to-read gold jerseys with white numbers. The team didn’t like them because of the loss, so the next home game against Arizona, a 59-7 win, was time to be Back in Black.
There are now some rumors that there are going to be gold jerseys tomorrow, including this spotted in the wild at the team store per @BoilerUniforms.
