Wisconsin football dropped some news on us this afternoon, unveiling a new uniform set that the Badgers will wear this fall. The new duds will be worn against Northwestern on September 28th at Camp Randall. The Wildcats will also be wearing a new outfit, similar to the one Wisconsin will be donning. I’m sure Pat Fitzgerald was a big proponent to the throwbacks, honoring a simpler time where kids weren’t glue to the phones.
The uniform is clearly a throwback, a testament to the jerseys the team wore in 1889 when the program was founded. The jersey features a UW on the front of the chest, paying homage to uniforms the team wore in 1889, 1890, and 1891 seasons.
