You kids stay off my lawn!
Oregon has had this contest in a headlock for the last decade but the Hokies of Va Tech went right at the reigning champions on Saturday with their bold new look. The jersey is best described as an Apron of bright orange with maroon sleeves and side vents. Looked like a group photo for the sales folks at Home Depot. Here's a URL: Virginia Tech Football Photo Gallery

Then go to #32 for a good look.
 
Bullshit.

There has never been, nor will there ever be, a uniform more offensive to the senses than:

Here we go again. There was a survey among Big 10 fans to rank helmets first to last and the silver bullet came in second -- by something like 7 or 8 percentage points. While we may love to see the Buckeyes beat the Wolverines, claerly from a design point of view the wings work. Likewise the maize and blue uniform has remained stable since some time in the 20's and is instantly recognizable. That folks, like it or not, is product identification, i.e. something you want your uniform to do.

On the other hand the Oregon and Va Tech uniforms lead only to wondering just what the hell the AD was thinking. While the diamond pattern on the Oregon uniforms adds to the overall ugly factor, you ave to see the Va Tech jersey in action. Remember the Monty Python bit about a soccer match between the Bourne Gynocologists and the Long John Silver Impersonators? Well this looks like eleven Home Depot sales gerbils playing Georgia Tech. Hilarious.

Im just getting tired of every damn team attempting a new stripe pattern on the sleeves and the sides. Oregon IMO has always been known for their "innovative" designs and constant change. So I eliminated them (and also Miami for the same reason). Besides, I think the all white jersey and white pants of Oregon look pretty bad ass together.

Top 3 for this year:

Georgia Tech - WTF? Thanking you for toning down the bright yellow, but damn, the new colors make you look like your copying Washington

Michigan Away Uniform - Okay, so you got Dick Rod, now you want to be West Virginia part 2? Does nobody in that athletic department have a shred of tradition?

South Carolina - Okay, so Michigan isn't the only copy-cat this year. Say hello to Maryland part two. I guess all that"rich SEC tradition" was too much for ya and had to go new-fad ACC on em all?

Seriously, is their no pride of tradition left in college? PSU, Notre Dame, USC seem to all get it right - if it aint broke, don't effing touch it! College is older than both the NFL and the AFL, so lets quit messing with things. Same goes for OSU, only change I would add is Scarlet in the arms or scrap it all and go back to the Tatum era jersey's.
