No. 20 Colorado takes on Texas Tech in non-traditional uniforms

The Colorado Buffaloes will bring a non-traditional, yet eye-catching look to their Big 12 matchup against Texas Tech in Lubbock. Departing from their usual combinations, the Buffs opt for a sleek, monochrome style with black helmets, crisp white jerseys and black pants.

The bold color contrast is intended to emphasize their unified presence on the field and increase the intimidation factor against the Red Raiders. To enhance the look, most players will wear Deion Sanders’ signature white Nike Air Max DT ’96 shoes, decorated with black flames, combining Sanders’ iconic style with the team’s revamped identity.

Colorado enters the game with a 6-2 overall record and 4-1 in the Big 12 and is playing not only for style points but also for serious conference impact. As they climb the rankings and gain momentum in the race for the Big 12 title, each game will become a crucial stepping stone. That was evident during Tuesday’s practice, when the team’s sharp focus and discipline caught the attention of Sanders, who called the Buffs a “playoff team.” In a moment when the team initially expected corrections, Sanders instead rallied them to offer praise. His words of encouragement underscored their growth and shared commitment – a gesture that bolstered the confidence building within the Buffaloes as they progressed further into the season.
