OT: Favorite Uniform ... of Another School

Submitted by Swayze Howell Sheen on March 16th, 2023 at 11:14 AM

The last thread was about which UM color combo you liked best. This thread: which other team's uniform do you like the most?

This stupid site put the Oregon Ducks first, but we all know UM is #1 when it comes to the overall uniform. So, who is #2?

I almost want to say the Fighting Irish in home blue with gold helmets, but to hell with Notre Dame. What do you say?

I thought the girls at Red Bank Catholic had pretty good ones when I was a kid. As a student at Red Bank High, they pretty much drove my young glandular self bananas. When Cathy Tierney agreed to go out with me I was in heaven.

I have always been partial to the University of Washington color palette of gold and purple. I was more fond of their older helmets that just had the big purple 'W' on the gold helmet.

The Huskies are my 'unofficial' second favorite team (great uniforms, great stadium location right on the Sound, great school location in Seattle and I love Siberian Husky dogs for good measure), I wish that they were joining the Big 10 rather than USC and UCLA, two programs I dislike.

Tulane white helmet and white jersey on blue pants is probably my second favorite uniform right now. 
Their helmet with the angry wave is definitely the second best helmet in college football im my opinion.

I'll vote for ND for the second best classic uniforms, I'll vote for Illinois for the best alternates, whoever designs their custom helmets always crushes it. I, for one, cannot stand USC colors. They look like ketchup and mustard to me, and when they do red shoes and yellow socks they look like a team of Ronald McDonalds.

i prefer simplicity.  penn states uniforms are top tier.  bama too though psu colors are better.  ive always liked georgetowns hoops uniforms, particularly the older grey ones

Texas all whites

and as a rule, any uniform that limits itself to two colors and does not for e a third and fourth cooler in there, is going to look good.

For home football Texas is my favorite classic home uniform aside from ours. A new favorite though is Tulane - they look great in all sky blue with green stripes, but they change it up and have some other good combos of those colors too

Miami (YTM) orange jerseys. Looks great with whatever shade of green that is they use, and I like how the colors evoke the school's location. They feel like sunshine.

In-state honorable mention to the now-defunct Central Michigan maroon jersey/gold pants/spear logo helmet combo. MAC daddies make you jump, jump!

"Michigan...manage a difficult color scheme (navy blue with bright yellow) so well you don't even notice it's an objectively bad combination."

 

WTF?
Blue and yellow a bad combination? Objectively?
Because they are primary colors? Certainly a better combination than blue or black and orange, etc. 
What could they possibly mean by that?

Does Delaware count?

Personally, I like two-color schemes better than single color and white.

Off-hand, besides Florida State and San Diego State (and I have to admit admiring ND's green uniforms with the plain gold helmet), I like Iowa and Kansas State's football uniforms: copies of pro teams, yes, but with the helmet logos, I think they look better than the uniforms of the pro teams they are are copying [and I say this as Steelers and an apostate Cowboys fan].
