As I said on another post, in a few years people will look back on this era in college football uniforms like they look at the baseball uniforms of the late 1970s. A technological "advance" made dopey designs possible and teams outdid themselves trying to come up with new "cool" styles. Like this

Dude. Those mustard and brown padres uniforms are pure awesomeness and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. The white sox shorts, not so much.

 

[BoatShow]

You could barely tell what they looked like on TV.

 

[huskypantz]
