COLLEGE FOOTBALL FASHION REVIEW 2010 WEEK 4
by Mr. Coloredwell, sports fashion critic for The Duck Pond

MIAMI FL (Nike) AT PITTSBURGH (Nike)
'Canes in white jerseys and orange pants with green and white spooge. Pitt in blue jerseys and gold pants. Miami does orange wrong.
WINNER: PITTSBURGH

TCU (Nike) AT SMU (Adidas)
FU. Anyhoo... Frogs in all white with purple numbers and helmets. 'Stangs in red jerseys and white pants, again looking like Patriots throwbacks. Nothing wrong with that.
WINNER: SMU

CENTRAL FLORIDA (Nike) AT KANSAS STATE (Nike)
UCF in white jerseys with gold pants, numbers and spooge. White/light gold a bad color combo, numbers are hard to read, and the spooge doesn't help. K-State in purple jerseys and silver pants. Purple/silver a great color combo, and they have it all to themselves. Why?
WINNER: KANSAS STATE

NORTH CAROLINA STATE (Adidas) AT GEORGIA TECH (Russell)
NC State in all white with red numbers. Yawn. GT in gold jerseys with white trim and dark blue numbers, and white pants with a gold stripe. GT makes white/light gold combo work with a dark 3rd color for the numbers. Hey UCF, it's called contrast!
WINNER: GEORGIA TECH

NORTHERN COLORADO [FCS] (New Balance) AT MICHIGAN STATE (Nike)
NC in all white with navy blue numbers, gold trim and helmets. MSU in green jerseys and white pants. Spartans, please pluck your eyelashes!
WINNER: NORTHERN COLORADO

BOWLING GREEN (Adidas) AT MICHIGAN (Adidas)
BG in all white with orange helmets and numbers and brown pant stripe. Number font is a little strange and there's a bit of brown spooge on the jersey, but they're playing UM (in their home blue), so Falcons get a gift.
WINNER: BOWLING GREEN

FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL (Adidas) AT MARYLAND (Under Armour)
FIU in all white with dark blue numbers and deformed pant stripe, and blue and gold spooge on the jersey. Terps in red jerseys and white pants, with black spooge from armpit to knee and hint of yellow trim. Terps have better looking numbers and a nice shade of red.
WINNER: MARYLAND

AUSTIN PEAY [FCS] (Nike) AT WISCONSIN (Adidas)
AP in white jerseys and bright red pants, numbers and helmets. A nice red, but the overall design has a cheap feel. Badgers in home red jerseys and white pants. Solid, clean, classic look. Badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom SNAKE!
WINNER: WISCONSIN

EASTERN MICHIGAN (Adidas) AT OHIO STATE (Nike)
EMU in all white with green trim, a bit boring but no errors. Buckeyes in home scarlet jerseys and sparkling helmets are simply unbeatable.
WINNER: OHIO STATE

ALABAMA (Nike) AT ARKANSAS (Nike)
Tide in all white with crimson trim. Arkansas in red jerseys and white pants. Arky uni better than last year, but they need to lose the white armpits and the tacky 'Razorbacks' down the leg.
WINNER: ALABAMA

STANFORD (Nike) AT NOTRE DAME (Adidas)
Stan in all white with cardinal trim. Irish in blue jerseys and gold pants. No surprises in South Bend (except for that billboard). Color decides it. Besides Stan needs to pay for their 'blackout' last week.
WINNER: NOTRE DAME

FLORIDA A&M [FCS] (Russell) VS TENNESSEE STATE [FCS] (Adidas) at Atlanta
FAMU in all white with goofy green numbers and orange trim. Fugly numbers can ruin an entire uniform. TSU in blue jerseys with white block numbers and red trim, and white pants with some blue spooge. Numbers decide it.
WINNER: TENNESSEE STATE
BTW, kudos to Versus for airing this game in HD. I had to toss out the Grambling-Prairie View game. Why is it ESPN never airs black college games in HD? Hmm?? Anyone???

NORTH CAROLINA (Nike) AT RUTGERS (Nike)
Heels in all white with light blue helmets, numbers and trim. The Nevada-shaped spooge still bugs me, otherwise a great uni. Rutgers in scarlet jerseys and white pants. They do scarlet wrong, due to goofy numbers.
WINNER: NORTH CAROLINA

TEMPLE (Under Armour) AT PENN STATE (Nike)
Owls in all white with dark red helmets, numbers, and that annoying crosswalk down the leg. Lions in home blue. PSU uni strategy is simple: do nothing wrong by doing nothing, and get a win only because other team does something stupid like a crosswalk down their leg.
WINNER: PENN STATE

UAB (Nike) AT TENNESSEE (Adidas)
Blazers in white jerseys with gold sides and green numbers, and gold pants and helmets. Vols in the juicy orange jerseys with white pants. Oh so quenching! Can't beat the creamsicles.
WINNER: TENNESSEE

WAKE FOREST (Nike) AT FLORIDA STATE (Nike)
Wake in white jerseys and black pants and we can just stop right there and give this one to the red and gold.
WINNER: FLORIDA STATE

AIR FORCE (Nike) AT WYOMING (Nike)
Farce in all white with blue trim. Wyoming in brown jerseys, yellow pants, and white helmets and numbers. We'll just ignore the brown spooge on the pants, because this color scheme works for the Hawthorn Hawks, it worked for the Broncos throwbacks, and it works for the Cowboys.
WINNER: WYOMING

UCLA (Adidas) AT TEXAS (Nike)
Bruins in white jerseys with dark blue numbers and dark blue and gold trim, and shiny gold pants. Shorthorns in patchy, ugly shade of orange jerseys and white pants. Would prefer light blue instead of dark, but it sure beats Texas orange, which looks like Tennessee orange if it were left to soak in Swan Creek. A disturbing thought.
WINNER: UCLA

OKLAHOMA (Nike) AT CINCINNATI (Adidas)
Sooners in all white with red trim. Cinci...and we can just stop right there.
WINNER: OKLAHOMA

NEVADA (Nike) AT BYU (Nike)
Nevada in all white with dark blue spooge all over and ugly numbers. BYU in blue jerseys and white pants. They're just Penn State slightly gussied up.
WINNER: BYU

AKRON (Adidas) AT INDIANA (Adidas)
Zips in white jerseys with dark blue pants, spooge and ugly numbers. Hoosiers in red jerseys and white pants. Indy would be just fine if not for those huge blotches of spooge on their sides. But they steal another win thanks to an uglier opponent.
WINNER: INDIANA

KENTUCKY (Nike) AT FLORIDA (Nike)
KY (two of my favorite letters!) in all white with blue trim. Gay Tebows...er, I mean, Gators in blue jerseys and white pants, orange helmets and trim. No big mistakes. Color decides it.
WINNER: FLORIDA

SOUTH CAROLINA (Under Armour) AT AUBURN (Under Armour)
Gamecocks in all white with red and black trim including spooge. Auburn in blue jerseys, white pants and orange trim. The only uni Under Armour hasn't totally fucked up.
WINNER: AUBURN

OREGON STATE (Nike) AT BOISE STATE (Nike)
Beavers in all white, Broncos in all blue. The rest of the details don't matter because I cannot look at that barf-inducing blue rug another second.
WINNER: OREGON STATE

WEST VIRGINIA (Nike) AT LSU (Nike)
WVU in all dark blue with yellow spooge and ugly numbers. LSU in white jerseys, yellow pants and purple trim. Total mismatch.
WINNER: LSU

NORTHERN ILLINOIS (Adidas) AT MINNESOTA (Nike)
NIU in white jerseys with red numbers and black armpits, and black pants, Gophers in all maroon with yellow numbers and spooge. Both teams are putrid. NIU has better numbers and less spooge.
WINNER: NORTHERN ILLINOIS

OREGON (Nike) AT ARIZONA STATE (Nike)
...and we can just stop right there.
WINNER: ARIZONA STATE

BALL STATE (Nike) AT IOWA (Nike)
Hawkeyes in throwbacks! Game over! Black jerseys with Steeler gold block numbers, similar to Steelers throwbacks, but paired with gold pants and numbered helmets. Cards in all white with black spooge and...who cares? They got owned!
WINNER: IOWA

CENTRAL MICHIGAN (Adidas) AT NORTHWESTERN (Adidas)
Chips in all white with maroon spooge. NU in dark purple jerseys and black pants with white and purple stripes. What's this? Black pants that don't look like garbage? Go fig!
WINNER: NORTHWESTERN

TOLEDO (Under Armour) AT PURDUE (Nike)
Rockets in all white with disgusting numbers and blue and gold spooge. Purdue in all black. Toledo's new unis are the ugliest fuckin' things to come down the pike in years. Whoever designed these should be waterboarded...with AIDS-infected piss.
WINNER: PURDUE
