Experts from across the fashion business . . determine the best and worst home uniforms.

Their old uniforms were more boring than a new mother talking about her baby.

I definitely agree with you. Some of their decisions are suspect. I consider Oregon and Maryland to be the "out there" uniforms. Oregon actuallly has good execution, which Maryland clearly doesn't have. Some of their negative reviews are interesting. UCLA's uniforms are classic.

yeah, but it's not like anyone says "That's a Princeton helmet"

And the Yankees weren't the first team to wear pinstripes, but oh well.

If I'm not mistaken, Crisler was the one who brought them to Princeton, and then took them with him when he moved. Apparently you could do that sort of thing back then.

they're fashionistas, not people who are well-informed about anything

it was also his idea at Princeton and they discontinued the winged helmet the first year after he left. (They revived/reclaimed it again in 1998 (per "Helmet Project") presumably based on the reputation it has acquired at M.)

MSU apparently used a gold-and-black version of the same thing in the '30's, back when the wings were a part of the physical structure of the leather helmet. I think M was the only one to retain it after the switch to plastic helmets.

Till Ray Kroc did his thing... rather than the brothers who started the original restaurant....

Go Blue! 

That statement is absolutely true.  It provokes strong feelings, both positive and negative.  Some people obviously feel that fashion should make a statement, whether people like/understand it or not.  Also, a little disingenuous to leave out the first part of his statement.

 "And whether you like it or not, it's provocative, and uniforms should be just that."

Tell his marketing minions to stop f---ing around with a good thing.

1.Michigan          alternates 1. Oklahoma 

2.UNC                                   2. Colorado

3.Iowa                                  3. (Name redacted)

4.Miami                                 4. Maybe Wyoming

5.Illinois                                5. Texas' & MSU's all whites       

I agree about the all whites of Texas and Sparty away. The all white is a good look. I'll throw in Iowa with the Black, Yellow and White, and the classic logo. UNC has good new uniforms with the white, sky blue, and dark blue. Good classic bold helmet logo, also gunmetal/carbon fiber helmets looked great for them. I like Illinois uniforms more than the similar blue shirt, orange/white of Syracuse and I guess it's because of the white facemasks Illinois has and the Wheaties box logo on the helmets. Miami, as much as I hate to admit it, is growing on me. The white/orange/green is unique, and with enough of the white the color clash looks pretty good. Every SEC uniform is junk to me. They're either too gaudy, or too plain. Kentucky or Tennessee would look better with a third color. No good college team has the iconic Rams horn helmets (Colorado State sorta does) and that's the second most copied by high school teams (first is the winged helmet of Michigan.) Sometimes I like Wyomings unis, sometimes I dont. Needs more white, but nice helmets.

And then in no order, the tradition of Penn State and Notre Dame, with my unique look one I've always liked, the pre-Nike Combat Virginia traditional uni's.

Do they read the WSJ?

The University of Chicago used that C long before the Bears got going.

Green Bay and Cincinnati.  Cincy used the C about 25 years before Chicago.  Green Bay's G was introduced by VInce Lombardi, and UGA started using it about six years later.
