Big Ten

Ohio State

The Buckeyes will be wearing an away version of their Nike Rivalry uniform against Michigan. The all-white uniform was originally stated to be a nod to the 1950 Snow Bowl, but Ohio State’s information director Jerry Emig recanted the statement, saying that the uniforms help the Buckeyes "stay cutting edge and take care of the players, who like wearing an alternate".

Wisconsin

Against Minnesota, the Badgers wore their red helmets. Since introducing them this offseason, the team is 3-0 wearing the inverted lids.

Army

In the annual Army-Navy Game, the Black Knights will be wearing the away version of their 2012 Rivalry uniform. These uniforms are unique, as they feature a map in the numbers of the uniform.

Navy

For the aforementioned matchup with Army, the Midshipmen will be wearing the home version of their 2012 Rivalry uniforms. Featuring one of the best helmets in college football, it’s sad this set won’t be their regular uniforms in 2014. as Navy is moving from Nike to Under Armour.

For the first time this season, the Bulldogs wore their white helmets against New Mexico. The team wore them again on Black Friday, but fell to San Jose State, ending their perfect season and shot at a BCS bowl.
