Northwestern Shoes
Under Armour

When it was announced last week that Maryland was joining the Big Ten, I predicted Under Armour would come up with some crazy uniforms for future Maryland-Northwestern football games.

Yep, Under Armour wants to make sure the players never forget when they wore these unforgettable kicks.
