Ugliest college uniforms
Other than UT, what do you consider to be the ugliest college football uniforms?
Mine are:
1. Oregon. Their uniforms are gaudy and hurt my eyes to look at them. Over the past few years they’ve had a lot of different ugly uniforms. They even had a gaudy bright pink uniform once (for cancer awareness I think). Their colors always clash. I think they do it on purpose to distract opponents.
2. West Virginia. They do have gold in their uniforms, but they mix it with a bright shade of blue. The different mixtures those colors have created in their uniforms over the years have made for some gaudy ugly uniforms. And they wear gray uniforms every so often too which are hideous.
3. Clemson. They have the same ugly orange as UT but they have a dog paw on their helmets. It looks high school-ish. It’s supposed to be a tiger claw but it looks just like a dog paw to me.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for ugliest uniforms?

I have heard that they actually used a tiger's footprint to get the paw design. May be a legend but I don't know.Golddore68 wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 4:38 pm Other than UT, what do you consider to be the ugliest college football uniforms?

Re: Ugliest college uniforms
As much as I dislike ut, and the sherbet orange, at least they have stuck to a basic look and made it iconic.
I guess some would argue that Oregon has made their inconsistency iconic, in an interesting twist, but I would have to vote for their choices as the #1 offender of good taste. Maryland would be #2, if not #1a.
Clemson’s orange and purple is pretty bad, even if you ignore the cartoonish paw print. Those colors seem like an odd pairing to me. Virginia Tech’s maroon and orange sounds as bad, but they tend to pull it off a little better. A different shade of orange maybe.

Very true. I will never understand the trend toward "alternate" colors or uniforms.Golddore68 wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 7:04 pmExcept when they wear the gaudy hideous “Smokey Gray” uniforms.coachinwaiting wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 8:53 pm As much as I dislike ut, and the sherbet orange, at least they have stuck to a basic look and made it iconic.
