The Best College Football Looks

January 2nd, 2006 · 2 Comments · 34 views

I need to set some ground rules for this discussion. In fact, just read here first before you comment.

There is only one minor rule change when evaluating a college uniform versus a professional one. In college, tradition is hands down the most important factor. Having said that, let me roll out the best looks of the Bowl season.

The Elite
These looks can not, will not, should not ever be changed. EVER. And God smite the coach who does.

Alabama – The simplicity. Both road and home unis are impeccable.

Penn State – The home blue uni might just be the best in college football.

Colorado – horrible program, great uni

Other Great Looks

Notre Dame – I can’t stand ND. I think they are the most overrated program in college football history. I think Rudy was a big pile of sentimental horse poo-poo. But they have a great, classic football uni.

Virginia – great uni, not so great team. Although this year they got a W in a bowl.

Michigan – Can you really argue about the maize and blue?

Washington - Another program that is getting a great big do-over but leave their unis alone.

Florida State – Great look…now if they can just stay out of jail.

Honorable Mentions:

(This one hurts me to say…) Auburn, Texas, Iowa, and Vanderbilt

Best Field Art: LSU, Florida State

    Don’t forget about the Hogs. Our jersey’s aren’t that different from your beloved Tide. In fact, if they are playing each other on a neutral site, you would have to look really close to see which team was which.

    Gotta love the small hog placed on the proximal portion of the lateral side of the leg on the pants. Wouldn’t look so good with an elephant would it.

    The hogs - what are we going to do with the hogs? I like the colors - and I actually like their road unis.

    But the metallic look they’ve thrown down a couple of times is a bit disturbing.

    The hog is awful hard to draw, so that is a downer. It’s not a bad looking uni - that’s for sure.
