Football...and Fashion

Every girl loves fashion. If they don't, then they should! How you dress can say a lot about who you are as a person. While watching football games, I cannot help but judge the uniforms of a team. I thought I would list (with pictures) uniforms I love and ones that need improvements.
First, the ones I love:
Ohio State Buckeyes. 
I love the red jerseys and gray pants together. It is a good color combination. I also love the shiny silver helmets with of course the famous buckeye stickers.

University of Texas Longhorns.
I usually do not like orange. Orange does not run in my blood. But I like this orange. Plus I love the white helmets with the burnt orange Longhorn logo.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
First, I love the navy and gold together. Second, I love the PLAIN gold helmets, it just makes the uniform really come together. I also love the traditional gray facemasks that they use.

University of Southern California Trojans.
I love everything about this uniform. The color combination, the yellow pants, the big stripes on the jerseys. I also love that they use the traditional gray facemasks.

University of Michigan Wolverines.
First, how can you not love those helmets? They are so unique and fun. I love the navy and bright yellow together. I love those bright yellow pants!

University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Bruins.
I love the gold and powder blue together. It is such an unusual combination. I love the solid gold pants. The gold helmets with UCLA written in script is very nice and they use the traditional gray facemasks too :)

University of Oklahoma Sooners.
I love that these uniforms only have two colors: white and burgundy. I love the white pants with the two burgundy stripes. I love the logo on the helmets. I also love that they have "SOONERS" written across the jerseys. 

Pennsylvania State University Nittany Lions.
My dad has always loved these uniforms. I like them too. I love the plain white pants, the simple navy jerseys, and the simple white helmets with the one navy stripe down the middle. Penn State proves that sometimes simple sometimes is better.

University of Alabama Crimson Tide.
I love that they also use only two colors too. I love the two crimson stripes on the pants and the simpleness of the jerseys. The thing I love most about these uniforms are the helmets. I love that they use the player number on the side of the helmet and they also use the traditional gray facemask :)

Last, but certainly not least :)
University of South Carolina Gamecocks.
I love the color combination. I love the white and black thick stripes on the jerseys. I love the white helmets with the logo on the sides with the two garnet stripes and one black stripe going  down the middle. 

Now, on to the uniforms that need some work:
Clemson University Tigers.
Orange and Purple together? Disgusting! Orange is bad anyway, but then when you mix it with the color of Barney...it goes from bad to worse in a matter of seconds. Plus, the shoes do not make the uniform any better!

Virginia Tech Hokies.
The actual uniforms are not bad for Virginia Tech. The color combination kills it. Maroon and Orange together is awful. These colors are way too dominant to be together. 

University of Oregon Ducks.
Where do I even begin with these uniforms? The awful color combination? The dreadful helmets? The weird duck wings on the shoulders? This entire uniform needs to be changed!

University of Florida Gators.
I do love Tim Tebow, but I do not love these uniforms. I do not like the shiny white pants with the thick orange stripe. I love how they have "Gators" spelled out in script, but the orange helmets ruin it for me. If the helmets were blue with orange script it would be 10x better.

Boise State University Broncos.
I guess with a name like Boise State the uniforms are expected to be ugly. This has too much blue, and I usually love blue. Mixing this much blue with the ugly blue field looks ridiculous. I guess they really felt blue after losing their game to TCU this year by missing that field goal. Find a new color for next year, Boise!

Oklahoma State Cowboys.
This much orange is blinding me! Plus mixing it with black just looks like the colors of Halloween! Chill out on the orange a little bit.

Northwestern University Wildcasts.
Hey look it's Barney! Oh wait...that's just a Northwestern player. Seriously? All purple? That needs to go!

TCU Horned Frogs.
Purple and black together look terrible for a uniform. Then when you add those purple helmets with the ugly horned frog, it looks even worse. 

Texas Tech Red Raiders.
I love red. But this is too much red. Seriously, these uniforms look like a giant blister. These are just awful all around. 

University of Maryland Terrapins.
These might go down in history as the ugliest uniforms ever! Everything about them is wrong...the helmets...the jerseys...and sometimes they even wear shoes to match the helmet. Whoever designed these uniforms should be majorly fined by the Fashion Police!
