There has never been a good looking gray jersey in football.

Especially not when paired with white helmets and pants.

It’s a callback to the diamond plate uniforms and also a nod to the “Flying Ducks” display in their football facility that represents the program’s NFL alumni:

 

I get what they're going for but that looks less like the display and more like the Mercedes Benz logo.

Yeah I can see that, but I personally don’t mind it. Again, it’s more of a simplified interpretation of the display and the designer said it’s also meant as a callback to the diamond plate uniforms.

I would say this is as close to 'good' as possible:

Putting aside my bias, no it’s not. ASU shouldn’t be in gray. GFGS doesn’t look good.

The closest thing to good being very bad really sells me on my own take.

ISU wearing black against Iowa of all teams, in front of a red-and-gold crowd, is so stupid.

I tend to agree.  For me it's only ok if grey is ...you know... one of your colors.  Maybe if it's light enough to be a "white" jersey it could work...surely there are examples of that?  IMO the dark ones look bad with colored numbers.  IMO a dark grey could be passable if you had other elements with colors.  For instance Washington State could use this combo:

WV wearing gray against LIU, looks ok to me

After a thorough investigation, I have found this to be false. Never lie to me again. Or have different opinions about subjective things.

Can't find any pics of it online, so I will just describe the uniforms Tennessee State is wearing right now on ESPN3/app

• royal blue helmets; light gray  facemasks; single red stripe; white decals
• white jerseys; royal blue numbers (no outline); royal blue letters on nameplates; Northwestern stripes on sleeves (red-white-blue-white-red)
• white pants; Northwestern stripes down leg (red-white-blue-white-red)

Somebody show this to the New York Giants and tell them this  would be a million times better than the road uniforms they've chosen for 2021

For those curious, here's a better look at TSU's new sets--and specifically those pants @4_tattoos mentioned--for this season, as seen last week vs Grambling:

 

 

 

 

Looks pretty dang good, I'd say. (Well except for the whole logo on one side/number on the other thing.)

[Ted Cunningham]

Yeah, that TSU/Grambling match up is very nice.

 

Also, this is essentially what Kansas should look like (with the obvious exception of details to make it more "Kansas" like the logos, etc.).

 

Also also, I can't tell definitively, but is red one of Grambling's official colors? Or have they just used it unofficially as an accent at times? When I think of Grambling, I think of black, gold, and red (simply because that's what they were wearing the first time I watched a Bayou Classic in the 1990s as a kid).  While that black-gold-white uniform is nice, it looks a little incomplete as far as Grambling goes.

Checked Google and the colors were mentioned being black and gold. With that said, I believe red has always been around. I've definitely seen pictures from the Eddie Robinson days of Grambling teams wearing red pants.

Some pics of released of the Jackson St/TN State game I mentioned earlier. Best I've seen at least.

 

 

 

Seriously though, Tennessee State is showing the Giants what could have been.

 

SN: don't get me started on Jackson State smh

I think this is a bit of an overreaction. I can think of a few good looking examples, if you put GFGS aside. As long as its paired with a sufficiently dark/light enough compliment color, gray can work.

You are just further proving how bad grey uniforms are. These all look bad, that pitt uniform is disgusting to look at.

No. No. No. Oh dear God one thousand times no.

The one team I can think of that used Gray in a very cool way (when it was not their school colors), was the late Brandon Weeden era Oklahoma State Cowboys. Might be a little nostalgic for me just being the era that I REALLY got into college football, but truly every Gray combo they used actually looked really cohesive. In my head they wore a Black/Gray/Black combo once that I really enjoyed, but the internet seems to disagree that ever happened. Perhaps a strange fever dream

[oldschoolvikings]

Arkansas current look is perfect. One of the best uniform currently in CFB. Yes, they look a lot like Oklahoma, but that's fine, the Sooners look good too. 

 

 

Basically the Razorbacks look like Oklahoma with the OU and TV numbers replaced with an amazing classic logo. What's not to like?
