Another one bites the dust...
Joining the likes of Nebraska, Notre Dame, BYU, USC and several other tradition-laden schools in the last five years, Michigan has decided to tweak its uniforms that had gone seemingly unchanged as long as most of us can remember.
Some other changes to look for this year.:
-Pittsburgh is back to "Pitt" on their logos and helmets. The colors and the scheme look very similar to last year's, though.
-BYU, mentioned above, was one of the first schools with what I would call "traditional uniforms" to make a complete overhaul. Well, I'm happy to report that they'll go back to the old Royal Blue and White uniforms worn by Ty Detmer, Robbie Bosco and Steve Young but not by Luke Staley and Brandon Doman. Whenever our kids look at the highlights of that magical 2001 season that ended in humiliation in Honolulu and Memphis, they'll ask "Daddy--were those some sort of futurisitic throw-ahead uniform as part of a promotion?" No son, those were just the ugliest uniforms (outside of Eugene, Oregon) that we tolerated during the early 2000s.
-Cincinatti's helmet will change ever so slightly. It appears that the graphic designer in charge of brainstorming toward something fresh came up with the remarkable idea of highlighting the old logo on his computer and pressing CTRL-I....and magic! A new, italicized, Bearcat logo. The licensing money will be rolling in, even if Gino Guidugli isn't coming back for his 9th year on campus.
-In a move no one but insomniacs will notice, Hawaii has switched from Green to Silver helmets as they try to incorporate silver--apparently they were told that "the rainbow" doesn't count as a secondary color.
In honor of the changes, a few lists.
Top 5 "Traditional" Uniforms (even if they have been tweaked):
1. UCLA
2. Nebraska
3. Notre Dame
4. Penn St.
5. Michigan
Top 5 "Non-Traditional" Uniforms (not that these schools don't have tradition, but these uniforms don't go back 50 years).
1. Virginia
2. Colorado St.
3. San Diego St.
4. Utah St.
5. UCONN
Worst Uniforms in the game:
1. Oregon
2. Rutgers
3. Maryland
