Speaker 1 (00:00):
USA Today did their list of the top twenty five
all time college football uniforms all time, all time, and
you gotta take your bias on your favorite teams out
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You just got to go pure aesthetics. Sure, we're not.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Going to mess with anything lower than the top ten,
and nobody cares. Okay, Number ten Pittsburgh Panthers. They ditched
the navy blue and gold for the more traditional blue
and yellow combination, and they've got the script pit, which
it's not a bad look.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's a clean look.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Well, it was the blue and yellow they had in
the I remember the early eighties because I saw a
young Dan Marino take on Ohio State in like nineteen
eighty two, so I remember that. It's not bad. I
guess I could see them in the top ten. It
wasn't my first thought.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's a simple look.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Sure. The last time they're in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oklahoma is at nine.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Nothing really flashy other than the interlocking ou on the helmets,
which is kind of a powerful look.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Some of the combinations with the maroon and white unis
that they've displayed the last couple of seasons are sharp.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And they're red is a good shade it's not too dark,
it's not too bright. Oregon's at eight, which that's kind
of low because Oregon is known for their uniforms. I
had them top five all of their combinations, and they
either and they've got so many crazy combinations. Yeah, they
either hit or miss. I feel like Organs when they
do the right combos, it looks really sharp.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Sometimes it looks like they've done too much and it's
just a huge miss.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I went back and looked at it, and I had
told you initially off the year two thousand, they have
over three thousand combinations.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's insane.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It is insane.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Ucla, which is one of my all time favorite looking
college football uniforms. With the powder blue. You've got the
iconic UCLA script on the helmet. That's a good looking uniform.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I would agree with that. I was a big fan
of the powder blues. I was always a Chargers fan
in the old school sixties.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Very similar.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
They remind me that looks so yeah, I'll go along
with that one.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Number six. This is a huge miss for me. Okay,
it's a personal thing. LSU. I think it looks terrible.
I'm not a fan of purple and gold.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well not onform.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The Lakers, it's a terrible right. Purple and gold just
is not it for me. And then the LSU on
the helmets it looks outdated because it's got it just
doesn't look right well.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And they always wear the white jerseys, like how often
you see them in the purple It's like every other century. So,
I mean it's it's just one. It's just white pants
and or white jersey and gold pants.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Usc At five again, nothing remarkable about that uniform. The
Trojan logo is cool, but that's about all they've got.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I think they need to change the face masks. The
face masks are gray. They need to make the face
masks gold.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Little Papa color there, yeah, and then it'll be all right.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Number four is Texas on the best list of best
looking college football uniforms.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Burnt orange jerseys are a nice combo, and you can't
go wrong with the classic white either.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I mean, it's hard to make orange look good.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I mean, exhibit that doesn't really count as it's an
exhibit A. The Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals. With
all that due respect to those teams.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Where Cincinnati is black brown and orange is just a glob.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Orange is just hard though they at least went burnt
orange for Texas.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's a different it works, and.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The longhorned logo is cool. Yep.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't want to talk to too good about Texas
here nine days out.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, but you can't. You can't. You can't ignore the
The unis.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So top three and you could probably figure it out
now where this is going. Ohio State at three sort
of controversial. I would have had them at two. You'll
hear about that at a second Ohio State. It's just
a clean look. They give credit to iiO States helmets
with the stickers on it, how cool that is.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And just a couple of the combinations.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And Scarlett with the gray pants is the most classic
of all the combinations.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
It is. I can deal with some of them. I'm
not a fan of the all black I don't. I know,
people get on me for that, but they look like
a different team. Whereas you go the whites works gray,
the gray ones are solid.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The silver Buckeye helmets, it's iconic, it is pristine, it
is clean, it is crisp. Ohio State number three. I
would have had them at number two over Notre Dame.
I'd have had them flip Notre Dame according to this list,
is two.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Again, it's iconic. It just screams college football.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, they have twenty four carried gold spray painted on
the helmet.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's actually twenty three point nine gold.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay, so there you go, which is a nice The
golden domes are are pretty good looking.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You can't ignore that. And I do kind of like
it when they pop every once in a while to
wear the green unis and those are kind of sharp.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And number one, yeah, yeah, it's the the winged helmet
from the team up north in the maze and blue look.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Don't don't hate me for this. I mean, my father's
a buck eye. I grew up a buck eye.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But you can't ignore that the winged helmet and the
a mazing blue combination is sharp.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
There's no getting around it. I don't like who's in them,
I don't like who coaches them, but I do like
you can't ignore that it's a sharp look.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's a it's all about the helmet, it is, I say,
it's all about that winged helmet decal, that logo there,
which I think they stole I think the I think
they stole it from I gotta look it up back
in the you know, eighteen hundreds. I thought that they
rip it off from like Harvard or I know.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
The Delaware Blue Hens also have the winged helmet. But
the guy who came up with it.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You're right, I think he saw it, he liked the
look and said let's do that.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He said it was it was created. I'm trying. This
is all by memory.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It was created because they needed their quarterback to be
able to recognize the receiver's downfield. So they exactly made
this distinct looking helmet so they could differentiate who was
who downfield.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Back then everybody at Brown helmets. That's it, the winged helmets.
They were able to target.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You could have a and Michigan I don't think came
up with that.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I think it was another maybe IVY League or small
East Coast school that did it first.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I'll have to double check because it might actually be Michigan,
but it maybe I thought I read that they that
they stole that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
But either way, there's your top college football uniform
USA Today did their list of the top twenty five
