Wyoming Uniform Schedule 2026: Every Jersey and When the Cowboys Wear It

Wyoming has worn three different jerseys in six games, and every one of them has been under the same white helmet with the brown and gold Steamboat on the side. This is the full Wyoming 2026 uniform schedule: the brown home jersey, the white road set, the gold jersey from the Homecoming Gold Out, every game played so far, including the 16-13 overtime win at San Jose State on October 9, and the expected look for the rest of the season. We update this page as each combination is confirmed.

The Wyoming 2026 Uniform Sets

Wyoming's colors are among the most distinctive in the country. Very few programs wear brown, and the Cowboys pair it with a bright gold that reads as yellow from the stands. Through six games, the helmet has been the constant. Everything below it has changed: all white at Colorado State, brown over gold at home against Northern Colorado, white over brown at Central Michigan, gold over white for Homecoming, white over gold at North Dakota State and all white again at San Jose State.

That last one is the look of the season so far. The athletic department billed the Hawaii game as a Gold Out of War Memorial Stadium, and the team matched the crowd in the gold jersey. Wyoming won 27-10 to open Mountain West play and took back the Paniolo Trophy.

Brown, Gold or White Pants?

The pants are where Wyoming's closet gets interesting. The Cowboys have worn white, gold and brown pants in six games, and the first repeat of a full combination came at San Jose State, where they went all white again as they had at Colorado State. At home, gold pants went under the brown jersey and white pants went under the gold jersey. On the road, the white jersey went over white pants in Fort Collins and San Jose, brown pants in Mount Pleasant and gold pants in Fargo. Wyoming has not published a season uniform grid, so the grid above only names the expected jersey. We will not guess the pants until each one is confirmed.

The Bottom Line

Six games in, Wyoming has kept one helmet and spread everything else around: brown at home, white on the road, with gold pants at North Dakota State and white pants at San Jose State, and gold for the Homecoming Gold Out, which was the best look of the bunch and came with the first Mountain West win of the season. Brown and gold is one of the most recognizable color pairs in college football, and the Cowboys are getting a lot out of it. The questions left are whether the gold jersey comes back for another home date and which pants show up each week. The grid above has every date, and we add a star as each uniform is confirmed.
