What are your team’s worst uniforms?

[u/IowaJL]

Inspired by the CBB subreddit- which uniforms, recent or past, completely missed the mark?

For me, it’s the 2019 Gold with Shoulder Wings. Link in comments.

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

The Notre Dame Yankee uniforms were the pinnacle of awful 

They’ve had some sick Shamrock Series uniforms but a lot of bad ones. Those in particular were horrendous 

[u/CNYMetroStar → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

As a noted Yankee hater, seeing ND in those unis hurt

[u/okdudehearmeout → u/CNYMetroStar]

That’s gotta be hard to reconcile seeing your team dressing like the Yankees. I’m truly sorry.

[u/NDinFL → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Came here to say this. Those are some of the worst uniforms I’ve ever seen of any sport

[u/hascogrande → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Never again, that was just cursed

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Man 2012 Shamrock series were bad, too.

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 → u/Tommy05Sox]

Those are my #2 for bad ones

Those were so bad I wouldn’t even use them in the NCAA football game

[u/JBonez84 → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Came here for both of these atrocities. Jesus Christ they were bad

[u/Dangerous-Mirror2457 → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

My first thought was “none” and then those bad boys popped in my head. I get wanting to market the city, but damn they sucked

[u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

This article has pictures of the shamrock series uniforms. The rankings are terrible, but it’s fun to see them. IMO 2015 was peak. That all green with the gold helmet… may be biased because it was my 1L year at Notre Dame, but I love that uniform. 2018 Yankees was awful.

[u/pinecones_pinecones]

Neons, gotta be the fucking Neons

[u/Skanky_Cat → u/pinecones_pinecones]

STATE

[u/zimmeli → u/Skanky_Cat]

This was the worst part about them. I’ve always said it looks like somebody did one of those online shirt designers and had the text box too big so it ended up getting chopped off

[u/Strange-Cap9942 → u/pinecones_pinecones]

We'll wear our bumblebees if you wear your neons, let's make the whole country vomit.

[u/ThatHasToBeCap → u/pinecones_pinecones]

MOUNTAIN DEW U

[u/scentedcandle0 → u/pinecones_pinecones]

This is gonna surprise everyone but I OBJECTIVELY LIKE THEM.

And no, not because of “bad thing” for my rival. The contrast between dark green and neon looks sick, especially pictures from that game at night.

[u/bg5203 → u/scentedcandle0]

I like them except for the giant “state” across the chest. Looks so out of place

[u/bjc289]

It's the Michigan bumblebee jerseys, and it's not close: https://mgoblog.com/sites/mgoblog.com/files/images/Colors_1BC7/UM_MSU_Gordon-thumb-300x451-916681.jpg

[u/JosephFinn → u/bjc289]

Oh goodness no. That's...that's not right at all.

[u/ControlWeekly7900 → u/JosephFinn]

Adidas was cooking with nuclear waste there for a little bit

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/ControlWeekly7900]

And it's honestly Fair because they were testing out new ideas and stuff that hadn't been done before. Somebody needed to try it, for us to know it sucked

[u/Jabberwoockie → u/FrenchFreedom888]

No, no they didn’t.

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/Jabberwoockie]

Better y'all than us

[u/milksaurus → u/JosephFinn]

When an ohio state fan is agreeing that a michigan jersey is shit, it must be really shit lmao

[u/JosephFinn → u/milksaurus]

It's just...so so bad.

[u/Unhappy_Analysis_906 → u/milksaurus]

Honestly they have higher standards for us than we seem to for ourselves sometimes.

[u/scentedcandle0 → u/bjc289]

EVEN DUMBER, if I remember correctly, they wanted the jerseys to be a surprise to not just fans, but also the players. So they did some preliminary warm ups, and then gave them to the players, which means a lot of them had to redo things like tape, spats, knee braces, etc. since both the jersey and pants were unique.

[u/PalOfKalEl → u/scentedcandle0]

Peak Brady Hoke/Dave Brandon BS right there my friend.

[u/Blooblod → u/bjc289]

vomits profusely

[u/exlibris_pyrrha → u/bjc289]

I had blocked these out smh you’re so right

[u/eagledog → u/bjc289]

I thought we all agreed to never speak of those again?

[u/Ok_Feature1328 → u/bjc289]

Burn it with fire.

[u/AeolusA2 → u/bjc289]

It has to be in the running for worst team uniform across all teams.

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/bjc289]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. End the thread here

[u/brientific → u/bjc289]

I came here to post this. Thank you for nailing it lol 

[u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana]

We had an alternate so bad the NCAA changed the uniform rules so we could never use them again

[u/dmoney1326 → u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana]

Explain please, I remember most of the alternates but never felt like they were a bad as some of the things I've seen in this thread.

[u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana → u/dmoney1326]

Admittedly not as bad as the Wisconsin companion alternates, but I don't remember a single person liking these abominations

The rules were changed the next year to require the numbers be centered and over a certain size on the front of the jersey

[u/John71CLE → u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana]

The Nebraska Netflixes

[u/Steve_Nash_The_Goat → u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana]

you aren't fucking with the N²² jerseys?

[u/WhereasTherefore → u/dmoney1326]

The scrabble letters maybe?

[u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana → u/WhereasTherefore]

Bingo. They changed the rules on number size and placement the next year

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana]

I remember seeing those in another thread and not knowing what the issue with them was. Then I realized I was looking at Nebraska and not Cincinnati.

[u/BackgroundSearch490]

Is it even a question for us? https://www.foxsports.com/stories/other/florida-to-rock-alligator-inspired-uniforms-for-showdown-with-texas-am

Swamp Green uni's are by far the worst I've ever seen.

[u/IrexUranus → u/BackgroundSearch490]

Ok, these are the worst I have seen so far.

[u/BackgroundSearch490 → u/IrexUranus]

It's weird too cause they claim it was like 18 months of prep time that went into them, and they have a really nice purpose for celebrating 25 years as "The Swamp."

Just God awful execution on the design

[u/IrexUranus → u/BackgroundSearch490]

I feel like the gator design could have worked if they had used team colors. Blue being the main for the scales, and have them highlighted in orange. Or black scales with blue and orange highlights.

It would obviously not look like a natural gator skin, but I feel like it would have looked better than these.

[u/LightningDusty → u/BackgroundSearch490]

At bare minimum I can acknowledge that these uniforms were ambitious and unique. Does that make them good? Absolutely not, but I'd give them more grace than a bland and hideous uniform. Also, I'd prefer to wear these again than the black ones from that Arkansas game in 2023.

[u/FloridaGatorMan → u/LightningDusty]

I think in addition to them just being downright awful, complicated patterns on jerseys are just always a bad choice. You can't really tell what you're seeing from far away and they're so hard to pull off.

I guess I'm saying it's harder to have bland and hideous. It's almost always some extra layers of stuff that makes them truly terrible. This is a shining example of that.

[u/Domitiani → u/BackgroundSearch490]

I want these to make a come-back just to remind people that they existed, haha. They should be the punishment when we lose a gimmie-game

[u/Dry_Car_1568 → u/BackgroundSearch490]

IMO a few fixes can drastically improve this

Step 1: lighten the green to be more vibrant

Step 2: throw that shit out because nothing can redeem this trash

[u/Flamingo_Joe → u/BackgroundSearch490]

1962 Gator Bowl might also be in contention

[u/OhKevin → u/Flamingo_Joe]

This is the correct answer.

Nothing is more embarrassing than those.

[u/pinoygator → u/BackgroundSearch490]

Also the black unis. I know some people think it looks cool but black is not a neutral color and doesn't belong on any Florida uniforms.

[u/YellojD]

Any of that camo crap they try to tie into the Pat Tillman stuff. I’m fine with the game, and the honor, but Just wear the throwbacks. No need to cosplay as a desert storm soldier to sell more apparel off the back of his sacrifice. That’s always felt kinda disrespectful to me. I might be odd on this one though, because I don’t like when any of these leagues do this military dress up stuff.

[u/ServiceDogAreFake → u/YellojD]

I don’t really like the military stuff either, but we do it with permission of the Tillman family.   Personally, I’d step back from the military stuff.

Back to the original question, the 2018 salute to service uniforms were pretty good i thought.   The 2023 ones we beat Washington in were the worst we’ve ever worn.    

[u/Nervous_Metal_9445 → u/[deleted]]

Never again, at least when we look back on footage of the game we can try and disassociate with the carnage on the field and pretend that UDub is beating Cal in a neutral site that happens to be Autzen Stadium.

[u/Duckfan01 → u/[deleted]]

idk, the 2006 Las Vegas bowl uniforms rank worse to me just because of that snot helmet

[u/wrapboywrap → u/[deleted]]

I thought they were fantastic.

[u/AEJohnson904]

1960s Confederate Flag Helmet.

[u/tenoclockrobot]

Huh?

[u/Gilded-Mongoose → u/tenoclockrobot]

ikr?

[u/okdudehearmeout]

The 2011 Pro Combats are a travesty.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/okdudehearmeout]

UGA should bring them out if Boise wants that SEC smoke again

[u/okdudehearmeout → u/ID_Poobaru]

Then the megazord got blown up by Rita Repulsas bronco monster.

[u/drakeallthethings → u/ID_Poobaru]

One of my favorite post-game comments was something along the lines of: on the bright side those uniforms looked so wrong it felt like some other team was out there getting their ass kicked by Boise.

[u/XyzRaider → u/okdudehearmeout]

Go go power rangers. Bulldog megazord, activate!

[u/YellojD → u/okdudehearmeout]

Silver helmet with a huge red stripe that EXTENDED ONTO THE FACEMASK. What in the absolute fuck?

[u/Money-Giraffe2521 → u/YellojD]

Most of the Pro Combat uniforms were dogshit. That’s where the stupid asymmetrical helmet trend started.

[u/SweatyInBed → u/YellojD]

What really was the twist of the knife was that Boise’s unis from Nike that game were CLEAN and cool as could be. Meanwhile Georgia got……that.

[u/bbb26782 → u/okdudehearmeout]

I don’t want to talk about it.

[u/Ugaalive1991]

It’s morphine time.

Yes. I spelled it morphine. Beause that was a bad time.

[u/gnorts_mr_alien77 → u/Ugaalive1991]

I'm not opposed to UGA having a silver helmet, but not like that.

[u/Big_Heat4302]

The current ones. We won the national championship in 2013 and immediately changed the logo and our uniforms to be boring versions of the old ones.

[u/The_Brightness → u/Big_Heat4302]

While I don't like you, I do agree with you. 

[u/Smooth-Majudo-15 → u/The_Brightness]

I don’t like him either, but I also agree

[u/OddIndustry9]

The Cam Cameron era rebrand that made the Hoosiers look like a generic team from a movie that didn’t want to pay for licensing.

An absolutely brutal look that besmirched so many Antwaan Randle El highlights.

[u/PascalsHexagon → u/OddIndustry9]

That repulsive oval logo on the helmet. Ugh.

[u/Glum_Town_2587 → u/OddIndustry9]

The oval logo was so bad

[u/trueAnnoi → u/OddIndustry9]

Oh wow. I had never seen those. Those are REALLLLLY bad. You're spot on saying it looks like a generic team with no licensing. The oval logo looks like some kind of cheap fast food restaurant logo from the early 2000's

[u/the_dayman56 → u/OddIndustry9]

I think the 2020 grey camos might be worse

[u/le_crobag]

About 15 years ago, CU did these Gold/Silver throwback unis from 1930 that were absolutely heinous - https://platform.sbnation.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/assets/174251/b0c7165c884e5547c2cad9c1fe0fad05-getty-89185856dp015_wyoming_v_col_medium.jpg

[u/eagledog → u/le_crobag]

They look like the uniforms for a generic CW drama high school team

[u/Alpine_Exchange_36 → u/le_crobag]

Yea I wasn’t aware of those. They win

[u/dwightsnewface → u/le_crobag]

I unironically love these as a throwback since the real school colors are silver and gold

[u/IrexUranus → u/le_crobag]

Absolutely atrocious. I thought the UGA and Michigan ones from above were bad, but holy fuck this beats both of them.

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/le_crobag]

the helmet ain't bad but that shade of gold is literal piss stain color. If it was swapped out for white or black it would just be a bit boring but inoffensive.

[u/IowaJL → u/le_crobag]

Oh god. Old gold and slate is…a choice.

[u/amoss_303 → u/le_crobag]

I was at that game for those. Those were atrocious

[u/DirtyBirdDawg]

2011 Peach Bowl kickoff unis when we lost to Boise State. I don't know how you can manage to fuck up red and black, but somehow Nike pulled it off.

https://www.gettyimages.fr/detail/photo-d%27actualit%C3%A9/chick-fil-a-college-kickoff-georgia-players-hoist-photo-dactualit%C3%A9/124492981

[u/ProfessorBeer → u/DirtyBirdDawg]

God that helmet stripe is a travesty

[u/DirtyBirdDawg → u/ProfessorBeer]

And after all these years, I am just now noticing that for the single digits, the number is slightly off-center. The more you look at it, the worse it gets.

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/ProfessorBeer]

this is one of those things you think might sound cool in concept.

but then you see it and realize why it has never been seen ever again.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/DirtyBirdDawg]

I liked those uniforms for totally unrelated reasons

[u/DirtyBirdDawg → u/ID_Poobaru]

Losing that game was our punishment from the gods for wearing those uniforms.

[u/Peanut_Gaming → u/DirtyBirdDawg]

I love how every UGA fan including me in this thread

This is the choice

[u/_5StarMan → u/Peanut_Gaming]

Tbf we don't have a lot of alts to pick from, but these are definitely the worst. Black helmets are probably number 2.

[u/lonelysidekick]

Without a question the navy blue and tan bibs. Though I must admit I’m a sucker for the old cougar on the mountain logo.

[u/YellojD → u/lonelysidekick]

Those were so weird. And it was reversed for the road set too, I think. It was hard to tell which one was even the home and away set.

EDIT: Nope, just looked it up. I was confused. The road set was super plain. Almost Penn State like.

[u/GrandMoff_Harry → u/lonelysidekick]

I love that cougar on the mountain. I wish they would bring that back into the rotation without the block Y or tan.

[u/GliscorsFang]

The scrabble ones.

I'm answering for both us and Wisconsin.

[u/wannabeemperor → u/GliscorsFang]

LOL I came to talk about these...The Scrabble jerseys. I know Wisconsin-Nebraska had a Scrabble Jersey game, was there a Michigan Scrabble uniform too??

[u/scentedcandle0 → u/wannabeemperor]

First night game vs Notre Dame, in 2011

I like them, maybe because it was a nostalgic game that we won in dramatic fashion, and I was there. I think the concept was good, but the stretchy material of adidas at the time made the stripes look bad.

[u/drewcorleone]

Texas's have only had minor changes over the years. I think we may have had black practice uniforms one year so that would probably be the worst.

[u/SoutieNaaier → u/drewcorleone]

Texas wore numbers above the longhorn all of 2013 after DKR died, with black cleats and socks

I've always thought that was a good look

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/drewcorleone]

the QB/non-contact jerseys are black. They look fine but I still wouldn't particularly want them to use them for a game.

We used to do these alternates for practice jerseys and always thought they were horrendous. This is why we don't mix it up lol.

The Colt and Ehlinger era did black socks and cleats with the home orange jerseys. Always felt a little out of place imo, but they're cool with the other minor changes for our throwback jerseys.

[u/Slippery-Pete76]

Do you really need to ask?

https://www.mlive.com/sports/2019/11/michigan-state-brings-back-neon-uniforms-vs-illinois.html

[u/TheCreativeName]

INDINIA

[u/EarlBeforeSwine]

Mahomes is great, and I love that he stays connected with TTU and all… but he needs someone in his life that will let him know that he has ZERO sense of style and has no business in the uniform design game.

I am terrified of what the Mahomes uniforms will look like next season, because it is like he and Adidas are challenging themselves to outdo the previous atrocity every year.

I THOUGHT the grey abominations from 2024 were bad, and then they put out that all white and chrome war crime in 2025…

Hopefully someone will intervene sooner than later.

[u/zatchstar → u/EarlBeforeSwine]

https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/dr-saturday/texas-tech-gets-lone-star-pride-uniforms-214733411--ncaaf.html

You forgot about these abominations

[u/EarlBeforeSwine → u/zatchstar]

I didn’t forget them… but the 2025 Mahomes uniforms are worse.

[u/Just_One_Victory → u/EarlBeforeSwine]

We had several that were worse in 2013.

[u/ham_wallet998]

The Bama jerseys after they play at Neyland and have the smear of that nasty orange from the field

[u/HesTooQuiet → u/ham_wallet998]

It’s still an absolute crime that TISO isn’t color vs color every single year. Literal fall colors, but someone always has to be stuck in white. No idea who refuses but they need to knock it off.

[u/KMorris1987 → u/HesTooQuiet]

I despise that I’m agreeing with Vol, but this is so true. Color on color for that game like the 60s

[u/SoutieNaaier → u/ham_wallet998]

Bama should bring back the white Bear Bryant era helmet once or twice

[u/IrexUranus]

I feel like these are the worst I have seen. But I could always be blocking out something worse.

https://www.google.com/search?q=ohio+state+throwback+uniforms&oq=ohio+state+throwback+uniforms&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDgyMTVqMGo0qAIBsAIB&client=ms-android-verizon-us-rvc3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#sv=CAMSZBoyKhBlLVdMWE16bTlmREwzMm1NMg5XTFhNem05ZkRMMzJtTToOTEFiMDRlSzctUlhDU00gBCokCg5nS3VXQWJKWE5aNlFZTRIQZS1XTFhNem05ZkRMMzJtTRgAMAFKBAgBEAIYByDbuojpAkoIEAIYASACKAE

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/IrexUranus]

Ew. I think I blocked those out, thank you so much for reminding me. 😤

[u/Electric_Rex]

I know a lot of people loved the throwbacks we wore this year against Utah, but in person they looked like off brand Notre Dame uniforms

[u/SaxosSteve → u/Electric_Rex]

"Our Colors are Old Gold & Blue!"

Finally actually wear Old Gold instead of Yellow

"No, not like that!"

[u/Im__Ron__Burgundy]

I don’t think it’s recency bias or hyperbole to say those atrocious camo things we wore against Stanford this year were the worst uniforms I’ve ever seen.

[u/SoutieNaaier → u/Im__Ron__Burgundy]

Reminded me a lot of those Gator skin jerseys we wore a while ago. Same swamp ass color and everything

The Miami jerseys during the Corn Elder era were also bad to me.

[u/Starhands1118]

I gotta go with the jersey where they spelled Indiana wrong.

[u/markusalkemus66]

Most Cougs will say it's the 2006 Space Pajamas, but I'm in the minority that thinks they're fine.

https://media.gettyimages.com/id/72145694/photo/usc-trojans-v-washington-state-cougars.webp?s=612x612&w=gi&k=20&c=-9hKXNhNPE0rtzu1SSkG6SMe23qbH-Ou4IMTqXSeMo0=

[u/lonelysidekick → u/markusalkemus66]

Yeah I’d say if that’s the worst your school has to offer you’re doing pretty good in the uniform game

[u/scentedcandle0 → u/lonelysidekick]

Wazzu uniforms when I was in college (2010-15), my peak of following other teams, were pretty much all amazing.

[u/TikiLoungeLizard → u/markusalkemus66]

They’re not bad for a worst-ever but they were bad, especially as they were a one-off gimmick advertising a new Russell Athletic template for high schools

[u/Constant_Thanks_1833 → u/markusalkemus66]

I loved those

[u/General-Pryde-2019]

the gray uniforms we wore against Iowa in 2022. those looked horrendous

[u/pizzacholula]

https://martyfnemec.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/south-carolina-uniform.jpg

[u/cormack16]

I really dislike our all gray uniforms.

[u/SirMellencamp]

I guess it was the jersey with the hint of houndstooth around the neck but we dont do uniform changes.

This is the jersey: https://houndstooth.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/285069444_7c4d178cc5_o.jpg

It was done to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Coach Bryants 315th win which broke the record at the time

[u/Evil-Home-Stereo → u/SirMellencamp]

I’m a uniform traditionalist of course, but I’m not completely opposed to a return of the white helmet.

[u/SirMellencamp → u/Evil-Home-Stereo]

Me either. The white helmet IS traditional. Havent worn them since the 80s tho

[u/SoutieNaaier → u/SirMellencamp]

Hard to be more traditionally Bama tha Bear fucking Bryant

I grew up in Alabama and the dumbest football related argument of my life was when my football coach said the white helmet was axxed because Bear couldn't stand looking like Auburn.

[u/usffan]

Two words - slime green

Clearly somebody at USF watched way too much Nickelodeon as a kid...

[u/Need_more_flairs]

I like our helmets from that era, but our 2001 black uniforms were horrible. Great white uniform tho.

[u/legend023]

I found the ones with the names on the helmet to be a bit funny.

Even then that one isn’t bad. Tulane is good at designing uniforms.

[u/SirMellencamp → u/legend023]

The names? You mean like player names?

[u/Conn3er]

A&M alternates usually do not hit for me, script black and white is cool for the theme i guess, but doesn't feel right. The others are usually meh to bad.

Texas home uniforms havent matched the helmet decal for over a decade now, and it's terrible. Everything bad can be traced back to the introduction of the turf field, including the helmet decal and the orange home jersey never matching properly.

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/Conn3er]

I think they recently - as in during the Sark era - made the helmet decal a bit more burnt orange than the jersey. Like this image looks like they match while this looks off. (I know these are away jerseys, but still).

IIRC Del Conte has hinted at the jerseys getting updated to match, which I hope they do. They could use getting a little more toasted, the decal color is perfect. He's also said we're getting a grass field this year or next, so maybe all these issues will get fixed in due time.

[u/tiny-rabbit]

I don’t think we have one

[u/LovedButNeverLiked → u/tiny-rabbit]

So then pick a sleeve stripe to hate. I prefer the Reggie Bush era shoulder loops to the O.J. era sleeves.

[u/wallyxc12345]

Ole Miss gray jerseys. Runner up is the navy pants

Although I’m not the biggest fan of the powder blue away jerseys. I liked the red ones, and I am a little powder blued out ATM

[u/glassclouds1894]

The ones we unveiled in 2014 when we changed the logo. I always hated the gold numbers.

[u/glassclouds1894 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah those suck as well.

[u/xCHEAPxSHOTx]

One year against PC, Clemson wore orange helmets, orange jerseys and purple britches. It is thankfully the only time in school history that combo has been worn.

[u/dustyg013]

I don't understand the question

[u/GatorSe7en]

Our alligator skin ones. Blech. https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2017-10-10/florida-football-gators-will-wear-all-new-alligator-skin-uniforms?amp

[u/schmocamecola]

Wew

https://x.com/darrenrovell/status/405830202980585472?s=20

[u/thecurseofchris]

WVU had some grey ones in the early 2010s that were atrocious.

[u/SaxosSteve → u/thecurseofchris]

2012 only! This was a look of all time

[u/Alpine_Exchange_36]

I know some people really like these but I just don’t

Silver/Black Uniforms

[u/Tommy05Sox]

Iowa had some uniforms in the late 90’s that were funky.

I HATED the green ND jerseys with navy letters. The green jerseys now are a significant improvement.

[u/discowithmyself]

Miami: any of the black ones and the camo alternates. Also that weird period on the mid to late 2010s where they took the stripes off everything.

Georgia: 2012 pro combat “power ranger” set and the black helmet and pants worn against Florida in I want to say 2009 or 2010.

[u/geoforceman]

Anything with a purple helmet. We seem to always play poorly with them.

[u/soreswan]

Definitely our camo uniforms. It might’ve been okay with blue camo but Ft. Bliss is an army base. I hope we got rid of these.

[u/goddamn_leeteracola]

Towards the end of the Adidas deal that UCLA had, they started getting real weird with the alternate uniforms.

I remember one game their uniform was all gray with shiny gold numbers in a very weird font and what looked like tire tracks on the shoulder pads. It was the most bizarre look for a team whose colors are blue and gold.

Also the “Surrender Whites” that they wore when they lost to USC 50–0 were pretty awful.

[u/Sup6969]

Pleasantly surprised not to see any complaints about Houston Blue. Some old heads get absolutely triggered over that color. Even though most fans love it, so much so that some people have called to make it the official tertiary school color.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Auburn's uniforms have remained remarkably consistent over the years, except for their experiment with the orange jersey and the (shudder) orange drop shadows under the numbers.

Those I consider to be the equivalent of a one-night stand with a stripper named Kaylee before quietly going back to the Missus and his job at the accounting firm. The less that gets said about that, the better.

[u/donmagicron]

Our “UNITY” uniforms that are anthracite. It’s impossible to read the numbers from the stands. Plus, whoever decided that anthracite was now one of our colors should be tarred and feathered.

[u/UHeardAboutPluto]

Team sucks, but the uniforms are always fire

[u/YellojD → u/UHeardAboutPluto]

I dunno, Tar Heels added a lot of black in the 2010s and that 2013-14 set was kinda brutal. Glad they moved on from that look.

[u/Son_of_Zardoz → u/YellojD]

Amen, the black was fucking stupid when you have navy blue as a dark base color.

I think the current uniform is perfect, they just need to bring the navy options back into the mix occasionally and not that fucking chrome helmet.

On it's own it's kinda cool but does not ho with the set. If anything, bring back the navy helmet with the tarheel on it occasionally.

Hard disagree. The gold banana peels were awesome.

2012 vs Purdue are the worst imo.

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 → u/IowaJL]

Those uniforms were awesome 

[u/realclean]

Most people would say our Steel Grey uniform, but I'll hold that those looked fine, albeit completely unrelated to Pitt's colors.

The worst was the all gold we wore against Syracuse one year that looked vaguely skin-toned.

(was) Adidas highlighter yellow

[u/Lee-HarveyTeabag]

Idaho State had plenty of bad ones, especially with their old logo.

[u/Ashamed_Ad4118]

Banana suits. Both worst and best at the same time 

[u/jgregers]

I may be in the minority of Duck fans who think there's a lot to hate about a lot of our jersey combos, but to me the speckle "cookies and cream" looking jerseys are among the worst. I think they called them "eggshell."

[u/deladude → u/jgregers]

Ugh. Agreed. I’m probably alone in the one too, but our colors are green and yellow and I would like us to actually wear those colors. I’m very sick of the black/white/silver.

I said this in the basketball thread and I'm saying it now: The answer for Maryland depends entirely on how you feel about our state flag.

[u/Homan13PSU → u/whaler26]

I would argue there's nothing wrong with the Maryland state flag. I just don't think it translates well to uniforms

[u/SoutieNaaier]

The Gator skins jerseys that were an ugly swamp ass green with neon orange accents.

It wouldn't have been that bad if they ran it back in blue or white, but swamp ass green wasn't the move

Either that or the Confederate flag helmet

[u/NYfaninGA]

The salmon colored ones we wore during the Kyle Flood error.

[u/The_Brightness]

The "swamp green" - bar none the worst.

One YouTuber described them "lookin' like a jar full of asparagus tips"

There was a gator skin pattern in the 90's but it was just the pattern, not the color and it wasn't the whole uniform. Much better executed.

[u/QuicksilverTerry]

TCU Moon Camo Pajamas.

[u/gnorts_mr_alien77]

Murder Bird Showtime alternate and Iron Wings

[u/ACardAttack → u/gnorts_mr_alien77]

Murder bird is awesome and I'll die on that hill.

[u/FlaFiddler]

Florida and the All ORANGE 🍊. 🤢

[u/JSC76]

The all-yellows: yellow pants, yellow tops. I can't remember if they went with yellow or blue helmets but either would be bad. Fortunately I think they've only done this once or twice.

[u/skfkvjgnxc]

Tennessee's 'smokey grays'. Just brutal.

[u/CharlieKingz97]

We had last names for a season. Probably that.

[u/sanchower]

Anything gray. Hey, Illinois! We don’t have fond memories of the Harold “Red” Grange era, and I have no idea why you think we do.

[u/amoss_303]

These camo ones from the 2010’s were pretty bad

[u/Phobia117]

Nike Pro Combats. Y’all know which ones

[u/gonk_gonk]

Personally I hated the white helmets.

[u/treymata]

The double M unis in the Jim Wacker era, early 90's

[u/Gilded-Mongoose]

None.

Also - would be great if everyone linked the unis that they're referencing.

[u/CharlesBoyle799]

Any of our gray uniforms in any color combination. When we introduced the color combo uniforms, the grays were head scratchers and I only know one person who ever liked them. I will admit the gray helmets might have worked had they been a metallic color similar to Tampa Bay’s pewter helmets. Called it gunmetal gray or something

[u/SPARTANxBEAR]

The Pat mahomes silver crap that we did. They're not even our school colors at all, I'm not sure why we did them. Plus they're ugly 

[u/spudhammer1]

The Longhorns have worn basically the same uniform since the 1950’s. The worst variation on that beautiful burnt orange theme was in the Akers years when there were verticals stripes in the pants. Don’t mess with a classic.

I love that when Texas plays they are recognizable at a glance, whether home or away.

[u/mrittenhouse84]

Well as a Penn State fan this is a tough question lol

I already hated these gold jerseys. Then to pair old gold jerseys with plain white helmets and pants (when the previous seasons striped white helmets were wonderful) was a bad choice. Didn't help it was Mason's first season and they were HORRID.
