We're just about a month away from the start of the season, and there have been plenty of announced changes across the country. However, there are still quite a few changes that will be announced closer to the start, and some that won't be announced until the week of the game. So, just like year's past, this will be an ever-changing list. This year, I'm going to do it a little different from previous editions. I am going to go through every conference (not including every mid-major, only the one's with changes) and address each team's uni changes. Hope you enjoy!

Big XII
Baylor
Lot's of changes for the Bears. Most notably is the addition of a shiny new gold helmet (http://www.cbssports.com/images/collegefootball/baylorgoldhelmet.jpg). The Bears will also be wearing a new matte black helmet (http://helmetgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Baylor-matte-black-football-helmet-687x576.jpg) in 2013. In addition to new helmets, Baylor has made some changes to their jerseys and pants. You can see several of the combos here (http://cdn.nikeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/New-Baylor-Football-Uniforms-622x295.jpg).
Iowa State
Throw Back announced (see further down in this thread)
Kansas
In the past month, Kansas has announced several changes to their uniforms, the most discussed is the new helmets (http://media.kansascity.com/smedia/2013/07/01/16/26/f7i6O.St.81.jpeg). The Jayhawks will have a total of 5 new helmets for 2013 (Red, Dark Blue, White, Powder Blue throwback and matte Black). In addition to the helmets, KU has announced there will be uniforms to match every helmet, however, no images have been released at this time.
Kansas State
No changes announced
Oklahoma State
No major changes to their brand new set, however, the rumor continues to swirl about a new matte orange helmet (http://www.pistolsfiringblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2012-01-28-at-5.46.43-PM.png) (that is an image from last year, but you can see the matte orange helmet).
Oklahoma
No changes announced
TCU
I can't keep up with the various TCU uniform combinations, and here is an image of four TCU helmets to be used in 2013 (http://gamedayr.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/TCU-horned-frogs-2013-helmets-570x427.jpg). I can't tell, but it doesn't appear any new helmets have been added. See "new" uni set (with new helmet) further down in this thread.
Texas
Not a huge change for the Horns, but new home (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BOsjnbZCEAIlRRV.jpg:large) and away (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BOvoZFOCYAE2Iuz.jpg:large) jerseys. The only real difference is the location of the Longhorn logo (and the type of material Nike now uses).
Texas Tech
In the never ending effort to make Lubbock attractice to 18 year old recruits, Tech has announced that there will be changes to the 2013 Red Raider uniforms. The most discussed change is with the helmet. This image (http://cdn2.sbnation.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/8642915/ttu_helmets.0_standard_709.0.jpg) has been floated around the internet, and it was confirmed that Tech will used "several" of those helmets in 2013. That image includes NINE different helmet designs. In addition, the school released this image (http://gamedayr.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/texas-tech-red-raiders-uniforms-2013.jpg) of new uniforms (and helmets) for 2013.
West Virginia
The Mountaineers will play their second season in the Big XII with three new uniforms. Gone are the grey uniform and helmet for 2013. WVU will have an all blue set, an all white set and a new all yellow set (http://cdn.nikeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/New-West-Virginia-Football-Uniforms.jpg). The Mountaineers will have a matte blue, white and yellow helmet to match their new uniform sets. In my opinion, this is a much better look than last year (http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Maryland+v+West+Virginia+hAAmxkxsQX-x.jpg).
That's it for the Big XII. Next up will be the PAC 12.
