Who doesn't love a gold uniform, especially in West Lafayette?

Purdue has already had some good luck with the new uniforms, posting an impressive 118-42 victory over Purdue Northwest in the exhibition game.
What else will the Boilers drop throughout this season? We'll have to stay tuned to see if there are any other new uniforms on the horizon in the coming weeks.
Boilers begin regular season on Monday
Purdue's regular-season opener is just around the corner, hosting Fairleigh Dickinson on Nov. 3. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET from Mackey Arena and the game will air on Big Ten-Plus.
The Boilermakers are coming off a 10-19 campaign a season ago and are looking to bounce back with a better year. Only three players from last year's roster return: Kendall Puryear, Lana McCarthy, and McKenna Layden. Madison Layden-Zay is another former Purdue player, but she was not with the team last season and returned for her fifth and final year of eligibility.
Coach Katie Gearlds and the staff brought in three freshmen in the 2025 recruiting class: Hila Karsh, Avery Gordon, and Carley Barrett. Purdue was very active in the transfer portal, bringing in six new players: Niya Smith, Kiki Smith, Taylor Feldman, Taylor Henderson, Saige Stahl, and Tara Daye.
How quickly can this team develop chemistry? We'll find out soon enough.
Along with the season opener on Monday, the Boilermakers will also host Eastern Illinois on Thursday, Nov. 6, with tipoff set for 7 p.m. ET. It's part of a busy week in West Lafayette.
