I absolutely hate the monochromatic look unless it is the white on white look. Our red on red is horrible. We need to mix in gold and white. I also agree with making the IOWA STATE on the front larger.

Also, LSU's uniforms are great...gold pants and helmet with white (and sometimes purple) top...whoever said they hate it needs to see it in person in Saturday Night In Death Valley!

What kind of fruitcake sits around and ranks the fashion of football uniforms?

I suppose the winners of the best uniforms were wearing loafers, a matching belt and a pink tutu with accents.:rolleyes5cz:



the word is like you stated fruitcake..... the guy is a little light on the loafers.

he probably did that after memorial day or whatever day you are not suppose to wear red

The current uni's are not even our worst. The Wallace era ones with the I's all aorund the collar ( look like an H on the back) were the worst ISU ones. We should be #8 for those.

No Boise State, Uconn, Penn State, Florida, Mississippi (all) shoot the list can go on and on

Penn State? Those uniforms are awesome. Simple is the way to go.

I wish SI put a little more effort into this, like actually saying what they don't like about the uniforms. Half of the ones on there I thought looked perfectly fine.

I was that person and I believe that you and most others really don't look at the uniforms but see the tradition. Those YELLOW uniforms are ugly.

ISU had something similar and they were UGLY. Please list the teams that have cool uniforms who wear a yellow helmet.

????????????

That's what I thought. LSU yellow, wow those things are tough looking! LOL

Keep the red helmet and go from there. Hopefully look like USC or Minnesota if they will add yellow.

PS yellow with the current uniform will be the number 1 ugliest uniforms in the nation hands down. There is very little yellow anywhere else.

This is typical from SI. Even though a few of them are pretty butt ugly (Wyoming, Oregon mostly), how are Iowa State, Clemson and ND on the list? All are pretty conservative looking imo. Maybe it's the bright colors for us and Clemson, but I'm not sure.

the worst were the red and yellow tops with all white pants a few years back...we will look very similar this fall with gold pants.

The only picks this writer got right was Syracuse and maybe Wyoming. All of the other uniforms are cool, certainly better than most in college football.
SI only needs to look at the NFL to see what todays marketing is all about. I would guess that this SI writer probably thinks Nebraska, Penn St. and Alabama actually have good looking uniforms. SI-- get out of the '50s.

Oh come on, these red on red unis are as bad as the product on the field last year. We looked like rolls of cherry lifesavers running around. Then the helmets are darker red than the jerseys, whoever dressed the team that way should be fired immediately.........oh yeah.

Seriously when it comes to football unis, simpler is better. The looks over the years other than the simple Walden unis have been pretty bad. I know noone likes the Walden unis, but they were simple. That is the style that I like, personally, just make them the school colors next time.

LOL. It's really easy, simple=better.

Even I can agree, we have some of the worst uni's in cfb.

If you really want to see somebody LOL ask any recruit if they would like to play in an all white uniform with one black stripe on the helmet.

They'll tell you they've already been there-- in the 5th grade.

8th worst uniforms in college football

Did anyone see that SI.com ranked our football uniforms the 8th worst in the country. Oregon was number 1. If I had to pick anyone it would be Wyoming. Nothing like the yellow and brown combo.
