New college football uniforms

As the 2015-2016 college football year falls upon us, some teams have debuted some new uniforms to sport. Some are only slight changes, like the Penn State Nittany Lions removing names from the back of their jerseys, and other schools have completely revamped the brand of their football.

One of the teams that has been in the headlines is the University of Michigan. Coach Jim Harbaugh made bold moves in his first year as coach in switching the outfitter from Adidas to Nike. Michigan last wore Nike in the 2007-2008 season, and since then has worn Adidas. They plan to make the jump back starting in August 2016.

Here are some of the best (and worst) new uniforms in college football :

South Florida - The Bulls of USF are in the American Athletic Conference and have changed their Under Armour uniform to a simpler look. They have added an alternative uniform with a light-green shoulder pattern. Personally, the alternative is hideous but so is watching USF football, so....

Miami - The ‘Canes have made the switch from Nike to Adidas and have Snoop-Dogg inspired cleats. Yes, Snoop Dogg. Their uniform has mainly stayed the same from last year. I like the orange jerseys but I am not a fan of having a white helmet.

North Carolina - Staying in the ACC, North Carolina has one of the more iconic uniforms in college football with their “Carolina Blue” look. They have added an argyle trim to their helmets and football uniforms. Argyle is not a good look, and the only people that should wear argyle are people in their late 70’s or babies forced against their will.

Wake Forest - I bet you don’t even know where Wake Forest is but their new uniforms would have college football junkies ecstatic. Founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1834, the Demon Deacons have stuck with their black and gold look and have changed their number angles to an 18º and 34º, since the school was founded in 1834. Now, you have to admit that was pretty cool, but Coach Dave Clawson is going to need more than angled to have a winning season this year.

Nebraska - The Cornhuskers have not changed their home uniforms since Johnny Rodgers won the Heisman in 1972, but these new alternatives are absolutely disgusting. Almost as disgusting as the Notre Dame alternatives but still, why would they change something good? The barbed-wire-esque look is not good.

Notre Dame - Speak of the devil, these uniforms are too green. They made the switch to Under Armour and they kept the same navy blue/old gold look, but these alternatives are not working for me. They lost their starting quarterback in week two but they’ve also lost their minds with changing one of the most iconic uniforms.

Oregon - 7,280 uniform combinations. Zero national titles. But these UNCONFIRMED glow-in-the-dark uniforms do look pretty sick. I mean football isn’t played in pitch black but these uniforms are beautiful.
