A good uniform is thing of beauty (and a bad one a reminder why perhaps fashion designers are not all evil). I have a great fondness for the Alabama helmets, and Paterno's refusal to change anything, and wow, those Chargers uniforms were great, weren't they? I think just about everyone wishes they would change permanently.

I loved the old Cal uniforms, too. I'm partial to wearing the same pants both home and away, though, and I don't like single-color uniforms at all (either colored or white, and now we get both).

The real problem with WVU's new uniforms is that whenever there's a picture on one of the national sports webpages, everyone in California goes, "hey! wait, no...."

Isn't the new Maryland design a product of Friedgen? And doesn't he know a little bit about what the Terps faithful would appreciate? I also really like helmets with plain cursive writing: UCLA, Maryland, Tulsa, the old Pitt helmets, even Florida, and yes, Cal. I'm not sure what to think about the piping on the Maryland uniforms right now; it seems a bit Miami. [As for the block M: Missouri, Minnesota, Marshall, Mississippi State if you're getting picky. Didn't they want a stronger brand?]

Do you know the Helmet Project? It's a wonderful to blow a couple of hours.
