The 11 Ugliest College Football Uniforms


No one really cares what their favorite team looks like as long as they are winning games.  But that's ok, because no one likes EVERY team, so let's hate on some teams who decided to completely neglect color scheme in favor of creating the ugliest possible uniforms you could imagine.

Oregon Ducks

You really can't make an ugly uniforms list without tossing these guys on there.  You wouldn't expect any team with "Ducks" as their mascot to miraculously follow through with a cool uniform, but couldn't they at least throw something together that doesn't look like a Sierra Mist advertisement? 

 

Clemson

Nothing rhymes with Clemson.  Could that be how they chose their colors?  

 

Texas Christian University

 Purple isn't a cool color, not even when people attempt to add some bad ass points to it by throwing some black in there.

 

Brigham Young University

Mormons.  They're a weird group, so it should really be no surprise that their football uniforms aren't cool.

 

Boise State

These uniforms are what your vomit would look like if you ate a bowl of froot loops and a box of crayons.

 

Northwestern

Again, purple isn't cool, especially when it is the dominant color on your helmet, jersey and pants.

 

Florida A&M

It's difficult to pinpoint the worst part of these uniforms, but there's just something awful about it.  Maybe it's the bright green and vibrant orange. 

 

Utah

Any uniform that reminds you of Ben Affleck in Daredevil is a bad one.

 

West Virginia

If you walked along the highway with this on, everyone would think you were a yield sign.

 

Iowa State

The last person to wear gold pants was MC Hammer.  Perhaps you should take his unbelievable failure into consideration when you design a uniform.

 

Wyoming

Mmmmm.  This looks like a delicious chocolate yellow layer cake.

I can't believe this meaningless shit made the front page of digg. The majority of those uniforms looked fine, and just about every single description was ridiculously stupid.
-Ducks? So what? There are plenty of teams with ridiculous mascots (many being much more ridiculous). I don't see how that carries over to their uniforms, either.
-Rhyming? wtf?
-I guess you have a problem with the color purple...
-I don't see how BYU's affiliation with the Mormon church would have any effect on the "coolness" of their uniforms.
-Boise States' really aren't bad. Also, vomit looks a lot more disgusting, regardless of what you ate.
-Purple, again?
-Florida A&M is the closest to actually belonging on this list.
-That did not remind me of Daredevil even remotely.
-Yield signs are red.
-IMO, gold pants are pretty cool.
-Interesting combination again, but I don't see how that design relates at all to a cake.

I never could understand the desire to watch a bunch of overpaid men running around in tights chasing a stupid ball. I just dont get it.

I never could understand how people like you are allowed to comment. What are you half a fag or something? First off these teams are college, the "men" don't get paid.

Second point, your post is so ghey! A bunch of men chasing a ball? I mean cmon. I never could understand how people like you can take it in the ass and like it.

There is so much that is so terribly stupid about this article that it is difficult to find a good starting point. Thanks, Cliff for getting the ball rolling. I'll just add to the "gold pants" comments:

"The last person to wear gold pants was MC Hammer. Perhaps you should take his unbelievable failure into consideration when you design a uniform." REALLY? So I guess MC Hammer and his gold pants outweigh a two-time BCS national championship team in the "unbleievable failure" category of gold pants. As a matter of fact, Iowa State's uniforms bear a strong resemblance to that of SoCal... why aren't the trojans on this list? ...writer is a fukcing idiot.

terrible article

This article is terrible. It could have been funny, but it is instead an epic failure. Off the top of my head:
Wyoming - The only major college football team to wear predominantly brown. There's a reason.
Florida A&M - That shade of green is found only in their uniforms and Aunt Milly's Jello salad at Thanksgiving.
Oregon - It's The University of Nike, but it looks like they only get uniforms that they couldn't even sell at an outlet store.
West Virginia, Minnesota, and Cal - their all yellow uniforms are actually painful to watch onscreen and can cause seizures.
Clemson - the all purple uni with the orange helmets are somehow reminiscent of Solid Gold dancers from the '70's. (What's with you and purple? Umm, ever noticed the Vikings?)
BYU - should only make the list because their old Blue and Whites were cool and iconic & it was moronic to change them to some lame Rams ripoff.
Failures
Boise State is always cool, no matter what: the Statue of Liberty and the blue field. Best left alone.
Iowa State, as noted, looks almost identical to USC. Teams have been wearing gold panst almost as long as their has been college football - see: Notre Dame and Georgia Tech.
You missed the most hideous uniform in college football:
Syracuse's all orange: two words: baby aspirin

I whole-heartedly agree with the selection of Oregon (Phil Knight has obviously slipped back into the 60's!!!)But Utah over Virginia Tech? VT looks like the Waterboy's SCLSU "Mud Dogs" Maroon and Orange with White trim? Damn!!!

All I can say is wow about this list. First of all, half of the list is stupid to even have the teams on it. Secondly, I love the bashing people do on Oregons unis when recruits have come out and said it was helped them pick Oregon over other schools. Oregon continues to push the limits because it separates themselves from other schools and make them unique. Talk to most college football fans and a lot of them actually like most of the Oregon uniforms. This list lacked creativity and any actual thought

you suck

Poorly executed. First of all, a lot of those uniforms are actually pretty decent. If you had taken more than 10 minutes on this, and had looked outside Division 1 (or even the top 30 teams) you could have done a lot better.

The commentary sucked too. Daredevil? A yield sign?! More intelligent would have been something along the lines of "I generally dislike the monochromatic look," since you definitely seem to. Then again, I wouldn't assume right away that you know what "monochromatic" means.

To comment on uniforms/colors, etc., you shouldn't be color blind or stupid. Shame on your bosses for allowing this drivel.

This list pisses me off on so many levels. What the fuck is the issue with PURPLE. And by the way dick wad TCU has some badass uniforms. And honestly what is wrong with Utah's jerseys?????? They look basically identical to Louisville or Rutgers and several more. Oregon is ugly jerseys but leave them alone for gods sake.....everyone automatically picks them and atleast their jerseys are different. I can't believe you put TCU on here?????? WTF
