College football teams will wear non-standard uniforms across the Week 10 schedule this weekend. Several programs have selected alternate color schemes and helmet designs that differ from their primary kits. The changes range from full black sets to nostalgic throwback styles.

Tennessee will face Kentucky on Saturday in a dark mode aesthetic. The Volunteers will wear a black background accented by traditional orange. The program describes the combination as aesthetically excellent. The black and orange threads are intended to give the team a distinct edge during the contest.

SMU will sport an all black uniform set for its matchup. The Mustangs will use bright blue for numbers, accents, and the jersey wordmark to ensure visibility. The helmet features a unique emblem where the usual mustang logo is surrounded by the letter D. This design serves as a tribute to the school's home city of Dallas.

Nevada has also selected black threads for its weekend game. The Wolfpack will pair the black jersey and pants with a matte silver helmet. A white stripe runs down the center of the lid. This asymmetric appearance distinguishes the team from other programs using dark uniforms this week.

TCU revealed a space theme for its Friday night game. The Horned Frogs will wear classic purple jerseys paired with a shiny black helmet. The cosmic presentation combined with traditional team colors drew attention from fans and analysts.

Illinois will keep its jersey and pants in a standard blue, white, and orange combination. The standout feature of the Fighting Illini's attire is the helmet. The team selected a throwback style lid featuring an old school script wordmark. This design replaces the traditional block I emblem as the primary side logo.

Eastern Michigan will face Central Michigan in a Wednesday night rivalry game in Detroit. Under head coach Chris Creighton, the Eagles will wear a helmet with a green base and a metallic steel pattern on the E logo and stripe. The design reflects the program's blue collar identity and branding efforts.
