Poll on the best uniforms in the B10

Submitted by Eyzwidopn on

In an attempt to help pass the time until Sept. 3, ESPN continues to generate "content" to keep the fans of college football occupied.  Here's their poll on the best uniforms in the B10.  Without question it's the Maize & Blue (currently leading).  The only problem I have with the poll is that it should be for the entire NCAA football ranks... and once again the Maize & Blue would win imho.  Thoughts?

The all white uniform OSU wears with black and scarlet details, paired with that shiny silver metal looking helment, its a awesome look, tho I have only seen it a few times. I used to think UM had the best uniforms, but I feel like some of the new designs and materials have surpassed UM's tired look. I do think that UM's pattern is fantastic, but needs some more flash with the finishes.

Rutgers should go up a bit in the rankings this year, since they went back to their classic uniforms and ditched those terrible chrome uniforms they wore under Flood.

The words "classic" and "Rutgers" can never be used in any sentence unless you're describe a fuck-up of Biblical proportions.  Example:

"Did you hear about Rutgers firing their basketball coach for abusing players and then hiring an AD who was fired from another school for also abusing players?  That's classic."

Rutgers and their HUGE NYC following has managed to move the Scarlet Knights to 14th in the poll.  Don't tell them this is just for the B1G because I'm pretty sure they are proud to be ranked 14th in something.

1 thru 3 are just classics. Northwesterns uniforms are the best thing under armor has ever done imo. 

Nebraska is another classic, ranks much higher than Wisconsin due to "Skinny N" and they made the look cooler first. 

Minority here, love what they do to incorporate the state flag. Or cool turtle helmets. Or just their overall Oregoness in a conference known to be smug about not being Oregon.

7 thru 10 are all clean, decent color schemes. Indiana flair is better than when Minnesota tries, and Wisconsin is unoriginal. Penn State doesn't even try to stand out or be anything other than 2000 generic ncaa create a team base uniform.

Rutgers is Maryland in a bad way. Purdue leaves a bad taste in your mouth no matter how good you think the uniforms look. BLACK + GOLD = LOSSES. 

Michigan State is so plain and boring. Usually matches grass. And the saying isn't, I'd rather watch grass play football. When they do try and spruce things up, they add ornament helmets, or try to play into Zack Snyders 300 Spartans. A gold color that no way matches the gold found in their own history, but definitely matches this color pallate:

How original, you copied a movie every bit as sparty-bro as you are. YES! YES! YES! we understand your profession. It's looking bad in your uniforms and working at old McDonalds farm! Or just plain old McDonalds. My god this just does not look good.

And then Illinois. I know you people are here reading MGoBlog because you have nothing better to do than stalk you're made up Rival. You know we forget you're in this conference right? Let me just say, this is the best you'll ever look in a uniform, and the worst thing Rutgers could do would still top it.

I know people claim Maryland is too UNIFORMZ but all their uniforms center around the state flag. Outside of the stupid all white turtle helmet they have some of the best uniforms in CFB. You instantly know it's Maryland and no one can rip it off (i.e. Delaware with our helmet) becuase it is so specific to their identity.

LOL. This poll is out every year. I'm not faulting the OP, rather the people who do the polls. I get it - they're time killers and meant to get people talking about college football, which is fine, but it's literally every year and every year, it's Michigan, regardless of the poll results. Michigan has had and will always have the best uniforms.

If you enter the appropriate information, you can get the state-by-state breakdown too. In the state of Michigan, for example, with 1,723 people voting so far:

55% Michigan

24% Michigan State

6% Ohio State

3% Illinois

12% Other

Is it just me or do they have a poll on this every year?

 

This is the big friggin ten...with the exception of Maryland, it's not like our conference's unis change that much.  

 

I guess having the poll annually gives some other team the chance to really concentrate its efforts some year to rig the vote so that M will somehow not be #1 for once, and then the ensuing outrage would generate more clicks?
