Week 10 was overall a pretty tame week of college football, with all 5 undefeated teams leaving the week with their goose egg still intact. Even the biggest game of the week, Alabama v. LSU, ended up being a defensive slugfest that didn’t provide much entertainment. But there were some interesting uniforms, so let’s dive in. In honor of Election Day this week, the uniforms will be rated as either Thomas Jefferson’s furs (good), or the shoe that someone threw at George W. Bush (bad)
The Best of the Best
Ohio State Cannonball Lids
Now, let me be clear. I HATE Ohio State. Like I’d even cheer for Purdon’t over OSU. But these uniforms, much like the Buckeyes usual uniforms, were gorgeous. They are throwbacks to the 1916 team, and feature a simple but awesome cannonball-style helmet, and they really put the boom on Nebraska (please clap).
5/5 Thomas Jefferson Furs
Clemson Purple People Eaters
Clemson wears this alternate look at least once a year, and I LOVE it. The deep purple just looks great with their bright orange helmets, and they always seem to play super well in these digs. Make these permanent please @dabo
4.5/5 Thomas Jefferson Furs
Duke Throwback Helmets
Duke unveiled these great lids a few weeks back, and they are sweeeeet! They feature an old-school blue devil logo, and Duke paired them with an all-black uniform that looked surprisingly great together! Nothin like a good uniform to help you forget that your sport is purely a stand-in until basketball season!
4/5 Thomas Jefferson Furs
The Ugly…..
North Carolina Hate
These are hideous. The drab gray would be okay if it was the helmet alone, but, once again, adidas went waaaay overboard. The end result is a uniform that looks like the clothing form of sadness. Sad.
3/5 Bush Shoe Ducks
Appalachian State Urine Color Rush
App. State is an oft-forgotten FBS school, and these uniforms might be a reason why. The combination of yellow with more yellow is heinous, and may be a reference to the equally hideous hair of Donald Trump. All yellow uniforms should hereby be banned forever.
4/5 Bush Shoe Ducks
IdaHell No
Thes uniforms require little explanation. My guess is that the designer was color-blind, because there is no other explanation for putting light gray and light tan together in a uniform. Luckily for Idaho, they are the most irrelevant team in the FBS, so many eyes were spared of these monstrosities. YUUUUUUCK
6/5 Bush Shoe Ducks
