Best Uniforms: Part I

This is the first two-parter in Every Game Counts history. I know, we haven’t been around that long but it’s still a big deal. Why now you ask, well this issue deserves to be broken down in two days. So check back Thursday for the conclusion.

Uniforms. We have yet to touch on one of the most fun aspects of NCAA Football and that is the team uniforms. Honestly, looking forward to the new season and wondering if your team is going to “spice up” their uniforms is one of those things that keeps you going in the long off season.


And unless your uniform hasn’t changed since it was matched with leather helmets, it is good to mix it up every once in a while. Some teams go retro, some go futuristic, and many teams paired up with Nike try to break in something no one has ever seen before.

Here’s the rundown of my favorite NCAA Football uniforms. Here are the top six best looking uniforms in NCAA Football.

6. Notre Dame home uniform. I really didn’t want to put them in here but the uniform has so much history for the game and well, it just looks really good. The true test in my eyes is the Irish are the only team with absolutely nothing on the helmets, and they make it look good. Usually, I need something on the helmets so it’s not so boring, but they make it work.

5. Texas Longhorns away uniform, white on white. Vince Young could have been scampering downfield last year in a garbage bag and it would have looked sick, but the Longhorns away unis are simple and sharp. Yes, white is the only color to match with burnt orange, but this mono-color match is a classic. And usually the home uniform is the best but in Texas’ case, they should wear this one as much as possible.

4. Georgia Bulldogs home uniform. This is one of the most underrated uniforms in all of college football. No one ever talks about this one and why? It’s not overly flashy or dull. It’s the perfect mix of old school traditionalism and new school style. The colors are not an instant match, meaning red and silver don’t naturally go together. But the red, white and black with the silver pants is just an awesome look.

The top three will be here on Thursday. See if you can figure out which ones will rank highest, you may be surprised.
