Fiesta Bowl is still a work in progress but it will be navy blue and purple endzones.

@29texan — any info on this?
 

Sounds to me like the white uniform/pants with potentially a new white helmet? Or it could just mean TCU is going all white with their current white helmet.

10 days late, but yeah, they're going with the all whites.

It'll be interesting... another battel of traditional vs. modern.

Totally agree, their regular set of uniforms are a modern classic

 

wonder if they could go with drop shadows on these?

I think one thing I really like about the UNC throwbacks is the contrast between the navy and columbia (carolina?) blues. And one treatment on the throwbacks that really brings that out is how thick some of the navy stripes/accents are. QB sleeve-weirdness aside, the thicker stripes and the drop shadow (as opposed to just a run-of-the-mill keyline around each number) help bring out that contrast in a way that's both pleasing and non-intrusive.

Tennessee going W/O/W, Clemson going O/W/O

 

Not the most orange possible for the meme matchup, but still a fantastic looking orange fueled game.

Almost perfect Michigan. Why the Maize socks though

It isn't ideal, but I will 100% take it over the all-navy.

Tennessee's orange makes Clemson look almost red

 

They replaced the aqua in the stadium with Capital One navy

The Arizona Bowl between Ohio and Wyoming may have been one of the best-looking games yet. The Barstool broadcast was... interesting, but the on-field appearance was nice. Not a lot of gimmicks, and two very well designed uniforms.

Tcu in all white

The hue in Clemson's orange (#FF6720) is 19.1 so it is a little bit closer to the red side than Tennessee's (#FF8200) which is 30.6

What’s your ideal? This is what most people think when looking at Michigan

Navy socks make all the difference in the world. Anything with maize pants is still a win, but navy socks make for the best and most balanced overall look.

K-State-Bama was effing beautiful.

After watching a ton of red (some orange) and white in the playoffs over the last few years, this game is refreshing. Small gripes, wish TCU went with purple helmet or pants, and Michigan navy socks, but this could've been wayyyyyyy worse.

OSU v UGA is a good looking game. 

[lahaye7]

Buckeyes need to stay with these throwback unis full time. Just looks like Ohio St should look. 

[Brave-Bird 08]

Tulane looks fantastic today. The satin finish on the green helmets keeps that color from looking drab. I say, if they win this game, let’s let them back into the SEC on worthiness from quality and aesthetics. 

 

Also, Utah-Penn State is going to look unreal today. Might be my vote for uniform matchup of the year. 

[Germanshepherd]

Really good uniform day. 
 

Mississippi State in its best combo, Purdue rocking the traditional gold lids and pants and USC/Tulane has a really nice color balance.

Watching the semifinal between Georgia and Ohio State on Saturday night, I thought both teams’ uniforms adapted really nicely onto the Vapor FUSE template. We had already gotten a glimpse at the jerseys beforehand, so it wasn’t really a surprise.

As you can see in that photo of CJ Stroud (and as we already knew beforehand), it’s unfortunate that tOSU’s B1G patch had to be applied so high up because of the chevron seam on the chest. I still think the Buckeyes would’ve been better served by going with the horizontal seam across the chest like what Oregon used on their Ohana uniforms in 2020 and what Seahawks players tested that same year. 
 

One thing I did find interesting was that, as far as I could tell, none of Georgia or tOSU’s pants had the integrated thigh, hip, knee, and tailbone padding that was highlighted back when Oregon first unveiled the template back in 2019:

There have been a couple of Oregon players use pants with the conventional pad pockets the last couple of years (namely Bo Nix this year), but a vast majority of Oregon’s players (even o-linemen) have used the pants with the integrated padding system since 2019. I haven’t heard from players directly, but I have heard second-hand accounts of how much the players have liked the pants with the lighter integrated pads.

 

Would be very curious to know if Nike even gave UGA or tOSU the option to receive pants with the integrated pads, of if it was a choice by the EQ staffs and/or players to stick with the more conventional pants.
