Washington State University football team, the Cougars, are set to introduce a new uniform combination for their upcoming Halloween game against the San Diego State Aztecs. In a departure from tradition, the team will wear a white helmet, a white jersey, and crimson pants. This is the first time WSU has utilized this particular color scheme since the 2017 season, when they lost to Arizona.
Throughout the 2026 season, the white helmet will be worn for the fourth time, marking its second appearance paired with a white facemask. The crimson pants, on the other hand, are appearing for the second straight time and the fourth time in 2026. Notably, WSU secured their only victory this season by wearing a similar white helmet and crimson pants combination.
This strategic choice may be an attempt to reverse recent fortune. Across the board, the white helmet with a white facemask has a record of 9-12 since its debut in 2015, while the white jerseys boast an 18-35 record since 2017. The crimson pants, however, have a slightly better record of 20-19 since 2017, following a loss last week.
