View: Northwestern Will Wear 'Gothic' Uniforms Against Nebraska

(CBS) After two weeks of inspired play following a 1-3 start, Northwestern sits atop the Big Ten West at 2-0. With some swagger back, the Wildcats apparently feel brash enough to sport some crazy uniforms soon, too.

In its Oct. 18 homecoming contest against preseason West division favorite Nebraska, Northwestern will break out what it calls "gothic" uniforms. Yes, you read that right.
