That has to be one of the worst! The colors don't match at all, it's like they took half of two completely different uniforms and have sewn them together. Kinda reminds me of those SF Giants/Oakland A's caps from the 1989 World Series...
I know it's the state flag, but it's a terrible look!
I agree.
I do think with better execution there's an idea there worth pursuing, but I think they botched it pretty badly on that one. The pattern on the shoulder shouldn't be the same as the pattern on the corresponding side of the helmet. They should be flipped, like the flag. Or the helmet should just be one solid color. And it looks better on a black jersey, which they later did.

I wish they'd go back to those hoops uniforms. I prefer the old, Nike typeface to the new Under Armour one.

I think it'd bother me more if color at home weren't the original way it was done (until the 70s, I believe). It was definitely weird at first.

The Chiefs road jerseys are underrated beauties.

I will throw my Alma mater in there too. These are so badass. Unis back in 1962. Wore them for the 300th straight sellout in 2009.

I believe you guys signed a BIG money contract with UA.

If I had to pick, I'd go with UCLA's home uniforms in college football. But like I said before I don't like the direction Pac-12 uniforms have gone. I'll take unique and bright colors over darker and "modern" colors. Seems like the color palette used in uniforms is very limited these days.

I do love that USC and UCLA both wear dark colors when they play football.
Both of their cheerleader uniforms are good and stuff.

USC, Michigan, and Michigan State have probably my favorite unis of any college football team.

Penn State's football unis are classic and timeless. I love em.
How do people feel about no names on the back of jerseys?

It's still very weird seeing Penn State with names on the back of their football jerseys. Just doesn't look right.
I use to not like no names on the back. Now I am starting to love it. I think at home no names on the back is awesome. I like what the Red Sox do. Names on the road/no names at home.

Yeah, Maryland will be with UA forever. Their founder is a former Maryland football player who is probably making all of the Athletic Department's decisions behind the scenes. They will forever be to UA what Oregon is to Nike.

Michigan have tweaked theirs too much. The piping and stuff theyve done recently has taken away from the classic look.

I guess I haven't been looking to closely then. Their classic unis were just about perfect in my eyes.

I've never seen these. I like them (as a one-off).

Yeah we only wore them with that game with Wisky in 2012. Agreed. Not all the time but like once a year. We are wearing a black alternate vs Northwestern this year.
