Photo: Northwestern MCBB Unveils New 'White Gothics' Uniforms Ahead of 2024-25 Season
The Northwestern Wildcats gothic jerseys will have a new twist in 2024-25.
The men's basketball team unveiled white versions of the gothic uniform design during their offseason trip to Italy and Greece.
The uniforms are similar to the black gothic uniforms that are utilized by both the men's and women's basketball teams as well as the football team. The design features purple lettering for the school and player names as well as some purple, black and gold mixed throughout the rest of the uniform.
Northwestern typically uses a purple and white color scheme, but began mixing in a gothic uniform in 2014 for the football program.
The Wildcats basketball program is currently on the best stretch in program history. It did not reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time until 2017 but has now reached March Madness in two consecutive seasons. The Wildcasts advanced to the Round of 32 in both trips, but fell to UCLA in 2022-23 and eventual champion-UConn in 2023-24.
As the team looks to replace star player Boo Buie, they will have some swagger to mix in and add an intimidation factor to the rest of the Big Ten.
The Wildcats will open the 2024-25 season on Nov. 8 against Lehigh.
