Kansas and Tennessee lead in Week 3 college football uniforms

College football programs bring a different kind of uniform heat to the table in Week 3.

The Kansas Jayhawks play their second home game of the season away from Lawrence at Children’s Mercy Park. They return in alternate uniforms.

The Jayhawks will be debuting their all-black uniforms against the UNLV Rebels. The uniforms feature throwback touches like a stylish circus font and the 1941 Jayhawks logo. This will be the second time Kansas has worn the uniforms since they were unveiled in the 2023 season, when the Jayhawks defeated the Illinois Fighting Illini 34-23.

Here are some of the best matchups for Week 3 of college football:

Unique combos

UNLV hasn’t missed a beat with their uniforms, which they’ve worn in two big early-season wins. In the Rebels’ biggest test yet, they’ll wear scarlet and gray on the road against Kansas.

The Tennessee Volunteers have established themselves as early national championship contenders. In their season opener against the NC State Wolfpack, they wore their Smokey Grey alternate uniforms to save their primary look. The Volunteers go all orange in their “orange britches” uniforms against the Kent State Golden Flashes.

It’s high season for the Kentucky Wildcats this weekend, as they open conference play against the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs. The Wildcats will wear gray uniforms with blue piping.


Power outage

The TCU Horned Frogs unveiled a trio of new uniforms over the summer, and one of them will be flashed this weekend against the UCF Knights. The Frogs will debut an all-black look, which is a bit different than their outfits of the past few seasons.

In recent seasons, the Horned Frogs’ black look featured a chain-link pattern around the collar, but the new threads are solid. The jerseys also feature a “Carter Boys” patch on the back, a tribute to Amon G. Carter Stadium.

After a loss to the Duke Blue Devils in Week 2, the Northwestern Wildcats are back with a different kind of bravado, going all black against the Eastern Illinois Panthers.


Icy whites

UCF was a member of the American Athletic Conference from 2013 until joining the Big 12 for the 2023 season. Though they fell short in their Big 12 debut against the Kansas State Wildcats last season, a new year brings new opportunities. The Knights will wear a new all-white combination against TCU in their 2024 conference opener.

After defeating the Florida State Seminoles in Week 0, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets returned to reality in their third game, falling to the Syracuse Orange 31-28. Georgia Tech’s return to Bobby Dodd Stadium sees the Yellow Jackets don a clean, all-white outfit.
