OT - CFB Uni Watch Preview
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.

the mesh looks sweet

I used to love the mesh tear-away jerseys in college football in the late '70s and early '80s.
By the end of the game some guys, especially running backs, were basically left in just t-shirts.

Michigan State is wearing all white uniforms at home against Western Michigan in week 2.

UNC having a dark navy blue jersey seems weird to me. Have they always done that?
August 24th, 2017 at 9:52 AM ^
They have done it for a while.
It's hard to recruit football players when your primary color is the same powder blue your grandma has in her bathroom.

I thought it was black.

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:

Pitt did go through a yellow/blue phase 30-40 years ago.

Those Wisconsin retro tickets are great
August 24th, 2017 at 10:20 AM ^
I'm hoping to make it to Camp Randall this year. I might have to try and snag a physical ticket this time.
August 24th, 2017 at 10:44 AM ^
I really wanted to make it to Wisconsin this year because I've never been to Camp Randall. Sadly, my kid is turning 7 on 11/18. Guess it's going to have to wait.

I would do the exact same thing. He'll get over it.

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
August 24th, 2017 at 1:17 PM ^
I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who thinks that UCLA's uniforms are ugly. Home and away.
August 24th, 2017 at 4:00 PM ^
There are at least two.
August 24th, 2017 at 10:03 AM ^
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).

I'd love to see what a Michigan uniform would look like in all black (with amarillo numbers) and the classing hemet.

Simple solution. Become colorblind! As a colorblind child, I had a hard time deciphering the navy of Michigan's jerseys and assumed they were black.
August 24th, 2017 at 10:09 AM ^
of the big numbers that Oregon is using
August 24th, 2017 at 10:20 AM ^
I hope they aren't ACTUALLY going to wear that.
I am not a huge uniform snob, but that's terrible.
August 24th, 2017 at 10:26 AM ^
Was my TV growing up, but when I was young, I always thought Penn St was Black and white. Those jerseys were really dark blue.
August 24th, 2017 at 10:48 AM ^
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.
August 24th, 2017 at 11:02 AM ^
The white Staeee helmet looks good. But there's not way they don't screw up the rest of the uniform into some arena league, seizure inducing kit.
August 24th, 2017 at 11:28 AM ^
Here's some pictures. It's very plain but I guess that's the point of the all white uniform.

That ND jersey will look great covered in spittle from the Purple People Eater's yelling mouth.

Everything in the OP looks good, IMO...those MSU helmets are a hell of a lot better than their Baylor specials.
