CNN/SI College Football's Worst Uniforms

As long as there is an Oregon, this is a one-team list.

FWIW though, they are spot on with Wyoming, and to a lesser degree, Utah. Syracuse is a fairly good idea (throwback-type uni) poorly executed.

Nothing wrong with ND. Iowa St. is KC Chiefs redux. Clemson: Horrible shade of orange. Wussy pinstripe on pants. Hair Force would be ok except for the highway stripe down the sides. Delaware: Are we the SL Rams?

Delaware:: Now that's an entirely original uniform. I wonder if they've ever played Michigan with that on. I'm also not a fan of those letters; maybe they need a thin white outline, or maybe it's the shade of blue and the shade of yellow clash. I think Michigan uses a darker blue, closer the helmets. I don't know if I could take myself seriously wearing football uniform so close to someone else's. Even the Rhode Island rams have it better, especially since Delaware's mascot is the Blue Hen.

Wyoming:: I sure hope that's a throwback uniform, because Brown uniforms are out, ask the San Diego Padres. When I was a kid, I always thought the SD Padres were the guys that couldn't make the SF Giants roster because they sucked too bad. At any rate, the color scheme is really bad and his jersey looks like it was made by the same people that did the black Dickey jerseys.

Oregon:: Their yellow shoulder version of this isn't too bad, but those steel-plate diamonds gotta go. They have some cool cuts to their uniforms, but I think the colors are all wrong, especially when the scheme is 90% yellow. Either way, those steel-plate things aren't working.

At least Seven of these are NIKE. Two ADDIAS, ND and Rhode Island. Couldn't tell what Wyoming was.

Glad NT's going with UnderArmor.

I'm still amazed at the Delware ripoff uniforms. I thought only high school and middle school teams did that.

Looks like Nike pawned off bad stuff to Oregon State, too:

The white/orange are cool, I got no love for the black/orange.

Notre Dame Green...WTF. Classic jersey.

Air Force - Great helmet. Uniform...eh.

Delaware - How is that uniform so different from Michigan?

First thing I thought of for bad uniforms was Oregon Ducks. Neon colors that hurt the eyes and the metal...design...thingy on the shoulders.

I put my puke emoticon up for Oregon:

I still can't understand the logic behind Syracuse removing the white from their uniforms. They look even worse than the bargain-bin black jerseys we had.

I like Syracuse unis

What is the worest NT uniform since 1960?

No question = 1994

[Guest GrayEagleOne]

I totally agree with Long Jim that Oregon is in a class by itself but let me give them credit for one thing....they finally got a decent looking helmet.

I posted some of these before:

Clemson's orange unis are not that bad, but their purple ones... http://images.dawgsports.com/images/admin/...s_in_action.jpg

Florida State's black unis...

YES!!!!

Wyoming has a college football team up there ??? I thought it was a bunch of UPS drivers gettting together on the weekends to play football.

[Coach]

Before yall rip Delaware too much, they have been using that helmet design since 1951 according to the helmet project. So in my opinion, at some point over the last 50+ years it became a legit tradition. Michigan began using it in 1938, and even they ripped it off someone else...Princeton. So it isn't even necessarily Michigan's design.

I see nothing wrong with the Notre Dame uniforms. If they made the top 10, how come Penn State is not on the list?

[meangreendork]

Delware could've at least made it a point to use a different uniform design. Their uniform is a set of ringer stripes away from being Michigan's uniform.

Perhaps you should bone up on the history of Delaware's helmet. UoDelaware Helmet History

Funny, they've embraced the helmet that Dave Nelson brought with him to every institution he coached at, but we're scoffing at the idea of Dodge bringing his white helmet here.

I don't see anything wrong with them, either. If anything, they're bland; just solid colors with no striping. They're in the same catagory as the Giants and Raiders jerseys; there's nothing on them except the generic athletic number font.

I think it was specifically the GREEN jersey uniform... hideous. It just isn't Navy-Notre Dame without the confusion of "Which team is which?"

Coach got me up to speed on the Michigan/Delaware/Princeton thing. Same helmets, but uniforms should be more different, different stripes, panels, something. Dunno how so, but they're awfully close. Michigan's got a darker uniform and lacks collar and sleeve stripes. Princeton has the helmet in black/orange and with quad stripes on the shoulders with side panels. It actually looks kinda cool, especially in white. Makes me think of the Bengal unis.

I also thought most of us were okay with white helmets? It's pretty close to what UNT had way back when wasn't it?
