Tulsa Uniform Schedule 2026: Every Jersey and When the Golden Hurricane Wear It

Tulsa is 2-0 for the first time since 2015, it has beaten Oklahoma State two years running, and on Wednesday the program dropped a red jersey that nobody saw coming. This is the full Tulsa 2026 uniform schedule: the royal blue home set, the white road set, the gold helmet that goes with everything, the new red throwback, and a week-by-week outlook for all twelve games, including a Thursday night game against North Texas and a Friday night game against Army. We update this page as each combination is confirmed.

The Tulsa 2026 Uniform Sets

Tulsa is an adidas school, and the base look is one of the more settled in the American: gold helmet, gold pants, and a blue or white jersey depending on who is home. The script wordmark carries across the helmet and the chest, which gives the whole thing a vintage feel even in the standard set. Both games so far have used the same gold helmet and the same gold pants, so on a normal Saturday the only real variable is the jersey color.

The opener was the second straight Tulsa win over Oklahoma State and the first home win in the series since 1998. Tulsa wore blue at home and the Cowboys came in all white.

The New Red Throwback

On Wednesday, September 16, Tulsa posted a photo set with the caption "Nothing like a classic look," and the uniform in it is red. The jersey is a bright red with plain white block numerals, a royal blue band on the sleeve cap framed by thin gold stripes, and the adidas mark on the chest. The pants are gold. The shoot was staged at a vintage filling station with an old Phillips 66 pump and a classic Chevy convertible, which is hard to miss in the year Route 66 turns 100. The Mother Road runs straight through Tulsa.

Crimson is one of Tulsa's three school colors alongside royal blue and gold, but it usually lives in the trim and the logo, not the body of the jersey, which is what makes this one land. Tulsa has not said which game it is for. The same week the program posted a video titled "Stepping into a time machine" and another called "The making of the helmet," so there is likely a matching helmet we have not seen yet. The next home game is Saturday against East Texas A&M, which is also Senior Day and Parent and Family Weekend. That is the date we are watching, but until Tulsa says so it stays a watch, not a call.

Tulsa also brought back its city flag helmet for 918 Day on September 18, the gold shell with the script filled in with the colors of the Tulsa flag that the program first showed off last September.

The Full Tulsa 2026 Uniform Schedule, Week by Week

September 5 vs. Oklahoma State. ★ Confirmed from Tulsa's game photography and final score graphic: gold helmet, royal blue jersey, gold pants for the Turnpike Classic at H.A. Chapman Stadium. Oklahoma State wore all white with a white helmet, and Tulsa won 24-10 behind four forced turnovers. We track the other side on our Oklahoma State 2026 uniform schedule.

September 12 at Sam Houston. ★ Confirmed from the team's pregame uniform post and game photography: gold helmet, white jersey, gold pants, against Sam Houston in orange at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium. Tulsa won 23-17 on a fake punt touchdown by a defensive lineman, an 81-yard run from Trequan Jones and a strip sack on fourth down to end it.

September 19 vs. East Texas A&M. Blue expected, with the red throwback in play. A 7 p.m. Central kickoff on ESPN+, the first meeting between the programs, and a stacked promotional night: Senior Day, Parent and Family Weekend, and the first home game after Tulsa revealed the red set. If the throwback is coming this season, this is the most natural spot for it.

September 26 at Arkansas. White expected. A 7 p.m. Central kickoff in Fayetteville with Arkansas in cardinal at home. Our Arkansas 2026 uniform schedule has the Razorbacks side.

October 1 vs. North Texas. Blue expected. Thursday night at 8 p.m. Central on ESPN, the American opener, and a Block Party night at Chapman. North Texas should be in white, and our North Texas 2026 uniform schedule has what the Mean Green have worn so far.

October 10 at Navy. White expected. A 2:30 p.m. Central kickoff on CBS Sports Network in Annapolis, with Navy in navy. See our Navy 2026 uniform schedule.

October 17 at Rice. White expected. Kickoff time still to be announced in Houston.

October 23 vs. Army. Blue expected. Friday night at 7:30 p.m. Central on ESPN2, and Tulsa lists it as Military Appreciation Night, which is the kind of date programs build a one-off look around. Army should be in white; our Army 2026 uniform schedule tracks the Black Knights.

October 31. Bye.

November 7 at Tulane. White expected. Tulane's Homecoming at Yulman Stadium, with the Green Wave in green. Our Tulane 2026 uniform schedule has their side.

November 14 vs. Florida Atlantic. Blue expected. Homecoming at H.A. Chapman Stadium, and the other home date where the red set would make sense if it does not show up Saturday.

November 21 vs. Charlotte. Blue expected. Tulsa calls this one its Senior Day Celebration and the final home game of the season.

November 27 or 28 at UTSA. White expected. Tulsa says the regular season finale in San Antonio will be played on either Friday, November 27 or Saturday, November 28, with the date set by October 11.

The Bottom Line

Two games, two wins, one helmet and one pair of pants. Tulsa has been as disciplined as it gets with the base set, gold over blue at home and gold over white on the road, and there is no reason to expect that to change on a normal Saturday. The red throwback is the story, and it is a good one: a real school color that rarely gets a jersey of its own, shot on a vintage Route 66 filling station set in the year the highway turns 100. Saturday against East Texas A&M is the first chance to see it, with Military Appreciation Night against Army and Homecoming against Florida Atlantic still on the board if Tulsa is saving it. The grid above has every game, and we add a star as each combination is confirmed.
