The Worst Uniforms In College Football, Part II
Written by Caleb M., Wednesday January 13 2010
You've seen numbers 10-5 of the season's worst uniforms in college football. Now see the four worst!
4. Colorado Buffaloes 
Yes, the regular uniforms are awesome. I like the logo personally, and the all black uniform is awesome. But throwbacks usually fail big time, as proven with Ohio State among others, and is the case with Colorado. These would be higher if not for the fact these aren't "actually" Colorado's uniforms. But they are quite possibly the ugliest throwbacks I've ever seen. The helmets are just terrible, what is that black thing coming out of the facemask? The jerseys look like baby food, and the pants do them no favors either. The shade of gray doesn't even match the helmets, and it really just tops off a disgusting uniform. My apologies to any Colorado fans who had to suffer through watching this game. 3. Navy Midshipmen
Need I remind anybody of the garbage the two teams came up with at last year's matchup? While no disrespect to the men and women of the Navy, but the uniforms are downright awful. You guys need to stop coming up with stuff like this for media attention. The main thing wrong with this is the five different colors. The navy blue, the dark tan stripes, the red highlights, the beige numbers/ lettering, and then the white accents. It does not go. Never have I seen a uniform with this many colors. And there's a reason. It's ugly. Thank god the helmets are plain, who knows what would've gone up there... 2. Clemson Tigers
Orange never looks good on uniforms. Oregon State and Texas are the only ones who make it endurable to look at. Clemson's just makes my eyes burn it's such an intense orange. Clemson has a unique color combo with orange and purple, and sometimes they wear it well. Other times, as with the all orange, they don't. The all purple doesn't look good either, but at least it isn't as bright. Do I really even need to say anything else? The uniforms are just downright ugly. Frankly I hate all orange uniforms, and Oregon State, Tennessee, and Syracuse could all have made the list. And is it just me, or is it hard to look at football players as "tough" when they were things like orange and purple? Still, this isn't even the worst orange uniform... 1. Virginia Tech Hokies
...Virginia Tech's are. These things are as repulsive as they come. Virginia Tech has a stylish logo, and some unique colors with maroon and dark orange. They probably could make something good out of it. But they botched the whole thing with these uniforms. The orange jersey by itself is just ugly. The purple stripes are odd, and they look misplaced. Then the pants have their own little stripes going on, while mostly just pointing out the ugly jerseys because they're so dark. It really doesn't get any worse than this. Virginia Tech hasn't lived up to expectations this year, and they top it all off with the ugliest uniforms in college football. Better luck next year.

Yep, what TennisMan said. This was written as a slideshow on BleacherReport originally by me, but it wouldn't all fit on one page... I like the Ducks uni's usually, and the "O" is like from Oregon, not necessarily the Ducks.

Actually, Oregon Ducks are in the first part of the list: http://www.playerpress.com/articles/the-worst-uniforms-in-college-football Great Post!

Personally, I am wondering why the Oregon Ducks didn't make the list. Those green and yellow uniforms are a true eye sore and some of the ugliest uniforms I have ever seen. And the "O" on the helmets, what does that have to do with Ducks? And with three different helmet colors, gold, green and white, make up your mind!!!!

While Michigan is ugly enough, the helmet was their design so for them it's "original". I give props for that. Although, yeah, it has nothing to do with Wolverines. In the Clemson bit I mentioned I wouldn't include all orange as they would fill my top 10. Didn't include FCS schools, so no FAMU.

No mention of Michigan's impressionist horns? And what does the helmet have to do with a wolverine? If you hate orange so much, why no mention of Texas, which has the ugliest shade of any color ever invented by man? And don't forget about Miami (Fla) and FAMU, which share the exact same scheme re-arranged in different logos!
