There's a reason it's become known as the Northwestern Stripe. Now that football reclaimed the stripe, it was time for the other sports to do the same. Football keeps the purple and black helmets, with a white N on the purple and an outlined purple N on the black. Jerseys are mostly unchanged, except for moving the shoulder numbers down to the sleeves. Pants stay simple with just the logo on the hips. Hockey follows the Northwestern stripe pattern with chest and sleeve stripes, keeping the numbers on the sleeves. The alternate features Willie the Wildcat’s head. Baseball uses arched "WILDCATS" across the chest, with no NW stripe. Hats/helmets match football, and pants have no stripes but socks do. Basketball simplifies with a chest stripe featuring "NORTHWESTERN" and numbers underneath, and NW stripes on the shorts.
