Top 12 Classic College Football Uniforms

Posted on 18 May 2010 by Admin

Rivalryfootball.com’s Top 12 Classic College Football Uniforms

1. University of Michigan (Wolverines) Maize and Blue

The famous winged helmet of the maize and blue is the most recognized logo in all of college football. Maybe this is why they don’t have a mascot. Note, the University of Delaware also has the same winged helmet!

2. Notre Dame (Fighting Irish) Blue and Gold

The “gold helmet” to match the Gold Dome is very symbolic of the school. The helmets look great when they wear the “Green” jersey with historical significance. The U.S. Naval Academy also has the same gold helmet!

3. Oregon (Ducks) Green and Yellow

Oregon has set the new standard for uniform development and makes for a lot of fun for the fans at each and every game.

4. Ohio State (Buckeyes) Scarlet and Gray

Ohio State is the only school with Scarlet and Gray color uniforms. They are classics and with a “Silver” helmet covered with buckeye leaf decals…it just doesn’t get any better.

5. Texas (Longhorns) Burnt Orange and White

The all white uniforms (with player’s names on the back) of Texas look far better than the all white uniforms (without names) of Penn State. Texas also has a nice Longhorn logo on their helmet.

6. University of Hawaii (Rainbows) Green and Black

WOW! What a great job in the re-design done by Under Armour in 2008. They are unique and will change the face of uniforms for years to come.

7. University of Southern California - USC (Trojans) Cardinal and Gold

Their retro uniforms have set a new standard for “going back” and winning ball games. Watch for their continued success in the coming years.

8. Louisiana State University - LSU (Tigers) Purple and Gold

The Tigers have one of the most distinctive uniforms in all of college football.

9. Alabama (Crimson Tide) Crimson and Cream

The Bear Bryant designed helmet still stands out among the SEC teams and still warrants the respect of the “Bear.”

10. Univ. of California at Los Angeles -UCLA (Bruins) Powder Blue and Gold

They just fit with the Hollywood crowd!

11. Boise State (Broncos) Orange and Blue & Touch of Gray

NEW design for 2009 and will get a lot of conversation, good and bad!

12. (Tie) Oklahoma (Sooners) and Nebraska (Cornhuskers)

Oklahoma’s Crimson and Cream vs. Nebraska’s Scarlet and Cream colors are too close together for comfort. The helmets are also just as boring! Not the simple and stylist uniforms as some experts state!
