Athlon: CFB's Top Uniforms of 2017 (obvious)
As succor to a contentious board this past week (guilty!), here's some incontrovertible frivolity . . . I hope: https://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-footballs-top-25-uniforms-2017
You can guess the result, but a nice conclusion from the author nonetheless.

One month ago, the author ranked Penn State's uniforms ahead of Michigan in the Big Ten:

The most iconic uniform in college football. White pants, no stripes. Navy blue jerseys, plain white numbers. And speaking of helmets, let's talk about the cleanest, whitest, brightest helmet in college football. There aren't many scenes in sports quite as cool as watching those helmets bounce up and down in the tunnel before taking the field at Beaver Stadium.
I liken the Penn State uniform to a luxury sedan: clean, sleek and without a need for any after-market tweaking. It's a functional uniform beautifully designed to play football in and look good doing it.
Now, a month later, he ranks Penn State #3 and Michigan #1:
The solid maize pants against the navy blue jersey is a timeless combination that will never go out of style. But let's be honest here: it's all about that helmet when it comes to Michigan's uniforms. The Wolverines may not have coined the design, but they've made it famous, and there is not a better looking helmet in all of football – college or pro, American or Canadian.

The same text was basically used for both entries (meaning, the Big Ten rankings and then the CFB rankings). Oh, Notre Dame is #2 overall (and hopefully #1 with Independents unless Navy beat them out...)

but those weirdos really do believe their uniforms are somehow unique ,white practice uniforms? penn state is just a strange group of people. but they will call michigans ugly and harbaugh is a freak to them. do they not make mirrors in that part of the country?

We have always won the eye test, especially the home uniforms.
Any result other than that would have been fake.

A couple of years ago the Wall Street Journal evaluated football uniforms nationally, not by conference. They deemed Michigan uniforms best by far. I'll stick with the WSJ opinion.

The only thing good about the PSU helmet is that it is a surface already primed for righteous graffiti.

OSU's helmet relies on the stickers, it's dumb.

I despise slide shows too, especially when i'm surfing on my phone. At least you know who #1 is on the list.

Tops in uniforms.
Bottom in costumed mascots.
As it should be.

michigans all whites are ten times better than penn states.

I will never understand why people like Penn State's uniforms. They have to be the most boring in the entire country. This look isn't "clean", it's bland and uninteresting.
