While everyone else is concerned with new coaches in new places, strength of schedule, and teams losing their former quarterback, it’s time to break down what’s truly important – the new uniforms.

Let’s start with the winners.

TCU

Call ‘em busy. Call ‘em too much. I’ll be over here callin ‘em COOL. Camo prints are completely on trend and this blends a fatigue style with that of a scaly Horned Frog. I love the concept, and while I’m not normally a fan of the ‘groufit’ – google the term if you don’t follow along – these grey duds are accessorized by the purple and white gloves and headwear. It’s all good.

UNLV

Sound the alarm…these unis are HOT. I dig the all red, all white, and all black mock-ups for this college football season. They’re slick and edgy, and what else would you expect from a school that practices a mere mile from Sin City’s strip? As these guys run into the end zone, the opposing defender can read “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” across the back of the Rebel’s helmets. Alarm is ringing.

Nebraska

So, I confess, I’m into solid colors, but Husker fans will be, too, when they see these black alternate uniforms for their October tilt against Northwestern. I dig the oversized ‘N’ and the matte helmet. Strong and slick from the men in Lincoln. Well done.

And the not so good…

Tennessee

Something about all orange just doesn’t have the same growl as a red, grey, black, white, purple, blue… it just doesn’t. I know you have to deal with the hand you’re dealt, but Vols, you are doin’ too much. As I said, the all orange resembles that of Lloyd Christmas’ suit from one of my favorite movies of all time. I can’t shake the image. I just can’t.

Cincinnati

And we have the example of when the all black and bold just doesn’t strike the same chord. Exhibit A: Bearcats. I ride and die with Cincy’s basketball unis all day long but this all black number just doesn’t make me want to fist pump – I’m kidding, I don’t ever do that … well usually -like Nebraska and UNLV. And to be honest, I don’t get the stripe, or are those zig zags, or wait is that a design? My point exactly.

And the emoji with the lines as a face – you know what I’m talking about – that is how I describe this next uniform …

Louisville

Because I really can’t tell if they are forward-thinking and sharp, or downright scary? I think it depends on if you’re a bird person, which I’m really not – pigeons invade my nightmares – so I’m torn. A 3-D Cardinal? On your brain? Seems strange. I’ll keep an open mind, though. Perhaps I’ll dig a super realistic, pecking, flying thing in October?
