OT - CFB Uni Watch Preview

Submitted by mgowild on

One of my favorite things about college football is the uniforms and I love the Uni Watch preview, which looks at logo/uniform related changes amongst college football teams.

Unfortunately it offers no details about a Michigan alternate uniform, only stating that there are whispers one will be worn this season. 
 

Some notables: We are no longer the only school with a basketball player on a football jersey as UNC has added the Jumpman logo, for obvious reasons.

 

Michigan State introduced a white helmet, which I begrudgingly admit looks very nice

 

Nebraska unveiled mesh throwback uniforms in honor of their 1997 National Championship Runner Up Season.

 

The rest of the article is worth reading for all the apparel aficionados out there.

Also notable, Pitt thinking about changing their uniform colors to yellow and blue. Hmm.

And UCF has a Power 6 "P6" sticker on their helmet, haha.

And check out these comically large numbers from Oregon:

Please no alternate uniforms for Michigan. Or for Nebraska. Or for any of the following teams with great uniforms...

Ohio State

Penn State

Alabama

LSU

Texas

USC

UCLA

Washington

I'm sure there are more

I'm amused by the dig at Rutgers:

 

In addition, the Scarlet Knights have a new black alternate uniform. No, that doesn't make much sense. Yes, they're wearing it anyway, on Nov. 4 against Maryland (additional info here).

The white MSU helmet really does look good. Also, I LOVE UNC's uniforms and colors. The baby blue is really nice looking and their black uniform is sick.

ND's throwback is cool. Love the brown shoes. The raised letters on helmets are awesome. I think the Hurricanes need to don green more often. They have worn the orange jerseys far too often - not a fan of those. NC State's black looks great. I usually love all black alternate uniforms. One more thing - LSU needs to wear their purple jersey more often.

Regarding logos on fields - I feel that every field should have the team's logo in the center.

to see the different uniforms, but on the underhand it's kind of crazy how much teams change their uniforms every year. It's to a point you turn on a game and you don't even know who is playing anymore. Stick to your school colors at least and basic design.

I like the mention of Minnesota's anthracite uniforms that they debuted against us in 2015. Unfortunately for them, anthracite doesn't do too well against a wall of blue steel...
