College Football 2012 Season

Those pics also accentuate how big the neck hole is. The MSU one looks like one of those V-neck hipster shirts.

I realize I'm in the minority,

but I absolutely love that look for Boise State. I'm also a guy that always liked the black in the Mets uniforms, if that's any indication of where I'm coming from.

It's an okay look. My main beef with it is that black is a Vandal color. It'd be like Duke wearing Carolina blue.

In Boise's defense, Idaho really isn't much of a rival, especially when you pulverize them in every sport.

Boise State looks stupid w/ matte black helmets and blue jerseys.

:censored:ing beautiful. love it

[cranium]

Seriously, what is the point of BSU wearing matte black helmets? Oh yea, BMFBMS.

[gdu]

When the actual game jersey looks like a "women's cut" and actually would look BETTER on a set of boobs than a set of pads, the jerseys are too tight.

These are being pinned back. I've seem those mannequins in person and you can see on the the pics on the lwoer armpit of the MSU jersey.

Washington looks great in purple pants.

Nothing in that boise look looks like it even comes close to belonging to each other, even the same colored helmet and pants. The helmet is black, orange, and silver, and the pants are black and blue.

Black on the jersey to tie it together would help. I do like the pants with the blue on their own.

[aawagner011]

The problem with Boise strictly on an aesthetics level (besides the act that black is not one of their colors) is that each piece feels disjointed from the next. The helmet is primarily black with silver accenting. The jersey is primarily blue with gray and orange accents. The pants are black with blue. I list the jersey accent as gray because the number gradient gives off a dirty, grungy feel while the helmet most certainly reads as silver. It's a mess and it is not thought out well. That's the problem you get when teams have a thousand combos and start piecing them together individually.

i liked the previous Boise jerseys myself, without the gradient number. if they wanted to add silver to their scheme, then that was the way to go, in the numbers.

Washington could have a classic. Base the rest of the uniform off the helmet, keep it simple.

That Boise look is seriously small time. If you want to be taken more serious as a big time CFB program, try to dress like it. This is like the teenage d-bags who show up to the prom in a top hat, tails, and a walking stick. A little kid's version of cool.

It's something Nike designers should consider.... a brand standards of uniform mixing and matching (if they haven't already). AND then design the uniforms to match well with multiple combinations. A great design problem to solve (actually gives me a good idea for a project for my students this Spring).

Washington could have a classic uniform if they have stripes on the pants, like the helmets. The same can't be said of Boise State aka Underdog State. It just looks out of place and inconsistent with the uniform. If it was all black, it would've been a lot better.

I don't get that. A small time program wouldn't be able to have that kind of uniform. They could easily get a classic look, but they wouldn't be able to get a uniform that was specifically crafted for them like that. If anything, it makes them look more big time. Whether or not it looks good is another story. But it by no means looks small time.

Surprisingly, we agree. If it wasn't for the cursed orange jerseys, any combo with black would qualify as Boise's worst look.

I do, however, think these are among the best uniforms in college football:

The enlarged logo look is beyond stupid. Not to mention the assymetric look. Boise's look is pretty far down on the crap list for me

Well, I guess that's where we just disagree. I understand that the look isn't cheap... that it isn't "off the rack" so to speak. That's not really what I'm talking about. To carry my high school prom analogy a little further, the d-bag in the top hat and tails paid a lot of money for his outfit, too.

You can't buy class.

I don't mind the enlarged logo. I hate the asymmetry, though.
