The whole article doesn't make sense; the writer has Iowa's rip-off of the Pittsburgh Steelers No.1 of B1G football uniforms.

One could argue that Oregon has four or five uniform combinations worthy of a top spot on this list. That person wouldn't be entirely incorrect. The question is, if a team wears a different uniform every week, does it even have one? I'd rather a team find a simple, consistent week-to-week look than release a new headline-grabbing kit every Friday afternoon.

 

 

 

That's like a Midwesterner's opinion, Man. Lovin' 50 shades of grey.

No. 9??? 

 

Well that's a minority opinion for sure. They are welcome to it... But as we all know they're wrong. For many in the B1G, tradition outweighs everything else. Maryland is pretty low on their list and they are similar to Oregon on their more recent approach to uniforms... Though less successful.  I love how Oregon isn't anti tradition but so much of the Oregon tradition now is innovation and ever changing.

The writer's sole reason for putting Oregon at No.9 is that Oregon has too many great uniforms.  I don't see a difference between Rutgers and Indiana, or Wisconsin for that matter. But Iowa No.1 makes no sense at all.

Midwest is simple meat and potatoes for the most part. Thats their heritage meat and potatoes and a cloud of dust.

Wisconsin No. 3? The second most boring uniform in college football is Penn State, and he has them at No. 4? Traditional and iconic, yes, but only Alabama has more boring of uniforms. PSU is not No. 3 or even No. 18; there has to be a lower grade...

 

I kinda thought the black and gold presented by Purdue was much cooler than most listed.

 

How do you NOT love this...

Hey... Alabama put numbers ON the helmets and names on the BACKS! 

 

That's just downright crazy by traditionalist standards. 

 

PSU stopped with the stripe down the middle and I think even when they did that the designers were like "I think this is a little much, better not put player names on the back."

I'm an old guy.  When I was a kid, the only visualizations I ever had of the Ducks' uniforms was black and white newspaper photos  One of the things I remember vividly was my first visit to an actual Oregon game in 1963 and how the bright green and yellow jumped out at me.  It was like electricity.  

 

I think the Ducks should wear some combination of green and yellow every week.  They're the only team in the Big 10 with those colors.  When they wear them, people notice.  I remember Booger McFarland commenting favorably on a green and yellow kit the team wore one Saturday.  It is truly electric and needs no enhancement.

 

I would mention uniform colors I don't like, but for the Men (and Women!) of Oregon, nothing will ever beat green and yellow.  It pops.  No sense in trying any harder than that.

One single instance of the Big 10 Championship Game unis with the green helmets should have been enough to set them at the top of the pack. Frequent uniform changes or not, those ones were
