Ross in Hutchinson, Kan.: What team has the worst looking college football jersey?
answer.gif

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask. The lovely Mrs. Buchanan – a slave to fashion – frequently reminds me that I have absolutely no fashion sense.
She would tell you the most unsightly jerseys are those worn by Stanford. But that would have nothing to do with the look and everything to do with the fact that she's a Cal grad. So I couldn't even go there for help.
I can tell you I think UCLA, LSU and Texas have great uniforms. I also like Oregon's green-on-green scheme and Syracuse's old-school look. In fact, I like almost all of them.
The worst ensemble I've seen this year is a gold-on-gold look that Wyoming broke out. In fact, any gold-on-gold look is bad, including that worn by Cal earlier this season. They look like flying bananas.
But you asked for worst-looking jersey, and we don't duck questions here. So, my pick would be Tennessee, but purely for selfish purposes. Even with binoculars, white numbers on Creamsicle-orange jerseys are hard to pick up from a press box.

He's right. It is hard to pick up names and numbers on our uniforms if you are up high.

oregon? seriously? those are the freaking worst and LSU purple and gold. Barf.

Tennessee and Texas are the two best IMO. Im partial to orange though.

I can think of much worse, even if I wasn't a UT fan.

And for the record they are not creamsicle anymore. That was the 80's

So? Who cares what he thinks? Opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one.

Let's change schol colors and tradition so that the guys in the press box can read the numbers. :thumbsup:

Or better yet, this will give us an excuse to use black as an accent color.

Worst looking is not the same thing as hardest to read. But if he thinks a jersey the color of dirt (TX) is appealing, then his opinion doesn't mean much.

GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!!

Why are the old farts so against black in the uniforms? It's not the flippin' 60's or 70's anymore. Black is an "in" color now. If you think that TB Arena doesn't look a hundred times more appealing, let alone, professional with the black seats, then you are a _____. I am sure the same people that said, "Keep the orange seats" are screaming NO to the black in the uni's.

I never found the jerseys hard to read from the press box.

You guys may be on to something with the black jersey conspiracy.
