what college football team has the oldest unifroms?

[kg54mvp1]

mainly an FBS team, but I dont mean penn state or michigan, I just mean a college that hasnt updated their look in a while that is possibly a smaller school

[batman1211]

Well, it's not Oregon or Arizona State.

[The Mojo Maniac]

You can cross Maryland off the list now too

[Pizzaman7294]

if you subtract minor changes, notre dame is up there

[hockey week]

this is a great question. Alright, let's say now that it must be no changes except for those demanded by the equipment (from, say, long sleeves to short sleeves, or from nike to addidas, etc).

Penn State just removed its white sleeve stripes (and I think the white collar is gone too), so they're out, and Michigan has tweaked a lot.

I hope this gets a definitive answer

[winghaz]

Alabama?

[evanmaldonado]

Alabama?

[batman1211]

As recently as 1973 Alabama had numbers on their sleeves.

....Do collar logos count? I assume the addition of conference logos don't count, at least IMHO, I don't think it should.

[Claystation360]

If your really anal about it I'm sure it would be a school your least expecting.

Rutgers & Princeton (1869)

OU and Texas have had their looks for a while, though back in the 70s/80s, neither school had the team name on the front of their jerseys. Several SEC schools seem to have had their looks for a while, too. I'd guess it's probably a team like OU, Texas, Alabama, Auburn, or LSU.

Rutgers thinks it's Princeton the way their jerseys have been this past month

Eliminate Auburn. For a short period in the 1990's they had orange shadow on the numbers. And this year they changed the pants stripe ever-so-slightly.

[slapshot]

The schools I can think of that have made minimal to no changes in a long period time are the following:

USC

Texas

Oklahoma

Nebraska

Notre Dame

Penn State

Alabama

If any of these have made major changes in recent years, I can't remember. They all seem to have enduring looks.

[oddball]

Rutgers & Princeton (1869)

Oh no, Princeton has changed many times.

[Bmac]

It depends how picky you are. Nebraska has changed shoulder stripe and number placement recently, but that is due to the jersey cut. The patches have changed over time. Gray facemask changed to red in 80s. But most importantly there was that 2002 mess. Yikes.

[TaylorGangorDie]

i thought every team got new jerseys every year, how else would us Buckeyes be able to sell them...

kidding, obviously i know what you mean.

[oldschoolvikings]

Notre Dame has had tons of minor adjustments on the jersey. They've traded the sleeve "ND" for sleeve numbers a few times, dropped the number outlines, brought them back. Faust lightened the blue (to royal-ish) and added sleeve stripes in the 80's. In the 90's they had cuff stripes, and (if I'm not crazy) a road jesey side panel!

Helmet and pants have stayed relatively unchanged, though... unless you count finish and materials, which would make this whole question moot, I think.

[Lights Out]

Close. The road side panel was worn in 2001.

I might be the only person, but I liked the gold side panels. I own this jersey. I loved how it had the shamrock on the collar. I wish they'd bring that element back to the roads. Not to mention I prefer this gold to the new golden domes. I don't think it looks bad. Especially in the picture above. The new ones are so sparkly that they make the matte pants look terrible.
