Kansas State Wildcats athletic director Gene Taylor discussed potential alternate football uniforms, stating that he is open to mixing and matching different looks but wants to stay true to the team's colors.
Gene Taylor said that he and Collin Klein talked about introducing new uniform designs, but Taylor prefers to stick to traditional colors.
He likes to be able to recognize the team on television and doesn't want to confuse fans with too many different looks.
The Wildcats tend to stick to their traditional home purple uniforms with silver pants and helmet, and white tops on the road.
Taylor knows that fans are creative and like to imagine different uniform designs, but he wants to be cautious and not stray too far from the traditional look.
Taylor mentioned that he likes a mock-up of a black uniform with lavender numbers and trims, but black is not part of the team's official color scheme.
He also knows that some fans prefer the traditional uniforms that Bill Snyder helped make iconic during his coaching career.
The Wildcats have played around with decals and stripes over the years, but major uniform changes are not expected for the 2026 season.
And with the next game vs Nicholls Colonels on 2026-09-05, fans will have to wait and see if any new uniform designs are introduced.
Gene Taylor said that he doesn't think there will be any major uniform changes for the 2026 season.
He wants to stay true to the team's brand and not confuse fans with too many different looks.
So the Wildcats will likely stick to their traditional uniforms for the upcoming season.
But Taylor is open to making some tweaks and being creative with the uniform design.
He just wants to be careful and not stray too far from the traditional look.
The Wildcats have a rich tradition of iconic uniforms, and Taylor wants to preserve that.
He knows that fans are passionate about the team's uniforms and wants to make sure that any changes are well-received.
