Poll on the best uniforms in the B10
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?

... posting a bunch of pro-OSU comments was a good use of an MGoBlog account, now I'm thinking it's a "tired look."
August 24th, 2016 at 2:11 PM ^
You have to make a game out of it to try and figure out which previously banned poster it is. For instance, is Dapainufeel truthbetold or the recently outed Heywood_Jablowme? I'm going with Jablowme considering the tired old "I'm a Michigan fan, but look how great OSU is comment."

We shouldn't be allowed to wear the best uniforms until we beat MSU and OSU
August 24th, 2016 at 1:07 PM ^
Who's to say we even have the best uniforms?
Personally, I think that Illinois has the best helmets. It even says their name on the side, which is very practical.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:16 PM ^
Just in case they forget, they can can look at their teammates helmets and remember what team they're on. It's pretty handy
August 24th, 2016 at 1:25 PM ^
Tim Beckman got the most use out of this praticality.

they say absolutely everything you need or want to know about PSU, nothing.
August 24th, 2016 at 3:05 PM ^
Maybe that's why they've been so bad lately - since they changed their helmet, they have to stop and remember what the letter stands for.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:09 PM ^
I think we should root for MSU and OSU to have the best uniforms until we play them.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:37 PM ^
bring back the adidas unis!
/s
August 24th, 2016 at 12:37 PM ^
This should be who has the second best uniformz. We know who's got the best.

But after ours I think OSU's are pretty good. Especially their road uni's.

I'll bet you hate their helmets. It is either a love/hate on those. Not much middle ground.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
August 24th, 2016 at 10:11 PM ^
I really don't understand the Penn St love. They have the most boring uniforms in the entire NCAA, with the possible exception of the Texas all-whites. The color combo is ehh. Everyone says "it's a clean look" but to me it looks like they basically just punted on designing a uniform. What am I missing?
August 24th, 2016 at 12:41 PM ^
Iowa second.
Yeah, I don't care if they are Steelers' rip-offs...the color combo is pretty sweet.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:43 PM ^
Iowa is easily next, very mean-but-classic look. Expecially their home blacks.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
Then maybe Penn St
August 24th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
Not really sure I like the design that much, but I'm a big fan of the colors. So they would probably get my vote.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:43 PM ^
I think they have this poll about once a month.

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.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:17 PM ^
Or, remember the replay of Jabril Peppers burning the entire Rutgers defense in the classic beatdown last year?
August 24th, 2016 at 1:03 PM ^
August 24th, 2016 at 1:29 PM ^
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.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:02 PM ^
They have it for the ACC (FSU, although UNC and UVA are also good) and Big 12 (Texas, although I kinda like K-State for some reason)

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.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:14 PM ^
No one CAN rip it off or no one WANTS TO rip it off?

Nebraska is going to be wearing alternate road jerseys for the Northwestern game this year. I actually like the chrome/white look from adidas.
.@HuskerFBNation’s special look for September 24.

That adidas gear is awesome! We made a huge mistake going to Nike/Jumpman! We must return to adidas stat! adidas are t3h rox0rs

Rutgers is in last place at 1%
August 24th, 2016 at 1:23 PM ^
And we're winning! Portent of excellent things to come.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:25 PM ^
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.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:27 PM ^
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
August 24th, 2016 at 1:28 PM ^
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?
