SI names the best and worst college football unis.

Post by retro1530 »

So the other day I found something that interested me. Sports Illustrated picked their best and worst looking college football uniforms. Some were gimmes, while others were shockers.

10. Georgia

There's a select few I would switch.
Wofford and Georgia Southern's uniforms would be switched for Penn State and Alabama's uniforms.
I have no clue why Air Force is on the 'worst' list, I actually like those unis.
Wyoming is a clear-cut number one worst uniforms. It is ugly.
Not in the majority here, but I really do like Oregon's uniforms.
Texas does not have the number one uniform.

What do you think?

Georgia I can see, I hate USC's jerseys, GSU's are real nice but how do you slight Alabama then, OSU's are good, I appreciate ND and USC for their heritage but don't really care about ND's jerseys, Yale's are sweet but what about BYU then, Auburn Michigan and Texas are good, but Wofford? Those are terrible, and everyone uses those! Penn State deserves to be on there, so does Alabama and BYU, North Carolina, Vanderbilt, I love UK in all blue, Ole Miss at home, Nebraska at home, Arizona at home.

For worst... Wyoming needs to go all brown with slight yellow trim, Oregon in yellow is very bad, I hate Hawaii w/ those silver helmets, Syracuse is real bad, when UNT wore black pants at home I was livid, Rhode Island's jerseys are awesome, I hate everything about Iowa State, Washington State's are terrible, ASU, Clemson in the purple tops, and anyone who wears any purple in general. Pitt in all gold was a big mistake. Do you remember Tulsa in all gold?

SI is absolutely right that Texas has the best uniform. I have my own, and I must say it's nice.

I think Oregon's bright yellow jerseys are insane, I don't see why so many people don't like them. As for the worst Wyoming is by far the ugliest uniforms since the old school Houston Astros.

I knew deliverance would agree with that. I like their uniforms, but they are not the best. I agree with username, Maryland's black unis are one of the best. I would have probably in my top 10 (not in any order): Penn State, Maryland's blacks, Texas, Texas Tech, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Air Force, Louisville's blacks, and Florida's throwbacks. There are others that could be on that list too.

SI came up with this list, because the boys in Corvallis, Oregon were jealous of their rivals's uniforms from Eugene, Oregon. Nike designed new uniforms for Oregon State, and wow. Yeah, I'll let you be the judge.

I actually think their new all-black uniforms are pretty cool. As for the others, yeah.

I guess those all-black ones aren't too bad. Whites are horrible.

I don't like when college teams write their school on the front of the jerseys, I think it looks too high schoolish.

Those Florida throwbacks with the white helmets are really, really nice. I wish the Bills would wear those white helmets every week.
