Dressed for Success

One of the things that I really enjoy about watching sports is the uniforms. It's something that most of y'all may not know about me, but ever since I can remember, I've been a big fan of all the colors, and styles, as well as pay attention to the smallest details; for instance, I can even tell you the facemask styles and chinstrap types of most any player I've watched. Freakish, yeah. Unsettling, i know. But still, it's how God made me. NE Wayz, I figured I'd share this little obsession with you, the reading public. This list is completely my own, biased opinion of what I think are the ten coolest uniforms in college football. There is little criteria for making this covetted list, other than me thinking, "Hmm, those unis look pretty sweet," so if you don't agree with me, sorry, make your own list. Also, bonus points are given to old-school, unchanged-through-the-years uniforms. One more thing: this is technically a list of nine teams, because if you don't know who I'm putting number one, we don't know each other very well then, do we?

Without further adieu...

10) USC Trojans: I know, I know. I don't like them either, but let's be honest, they've got some of the classic unis in college football. Besides a facemask change (from maroon to gray) and a new sleeve-strip, not much has changed for the men of Troy. On the other hand, as someone once told me, "If Abercromie made football uniforms, they'd look like USC." 'Bout sums it up.

"Moo-nies, moo-nies, moo-nies, moo-nies!!"

9) Notre Dame Fighting Irish: My least favorite team probably in all the land (ya know, after 0-u and atm) but you've gotta admit-nothing on the front, nothing on the back, glistening gold helmet. Classic.

8) Penn State Nittany Lions: See above.

7) Auburn War Eagle Tigers: Also known as the 'Austin Henley Special.' Don't really know what it is, but the navy and orange just look nice. Plus, it's always a good decision to wear all white on the road.

"Bo knows we look good."

6) Alabama Crimson Tide: It isn't easy to make maroon/crimson look decent, but the Tide pull it off in a nice, clean, classic way. The numbers on the helmet are a great touch, these babies never go out of style. And yes, I realize I just put Alabama and Auburn in the same list. Sue me.

"At least we can beat Auburn in the uniform war."

Well that'll do it for now, I'll be back tomorrow with numbers 5 through 2. Peace and love.
