The 5 Worst College Football Uniforms

After watching the opening weekend of college football and seeing Maryland's new uniforms, I began thinking about other schools with terrible uniforms.

While the Terrapins new uniforms (and i use that term loosely) are far and away the worst thing I have ever seen, there are a few other teams who jog onto the field each Saturday looking pretty disgraceful.

Without further ado, I give the you the five worst uniforms in college football...

 5.  Oregon Ducks: Multiple versions

Which is the ugliest duckling?

Many people hate the Ducks variety of uniform combinations. I, on the other hand, have a love/hate relationship with Oregon's uniform choices. Some weeks they come out looking great, while other weeks they take the field looking down right absurd. It's really 50/50 on what you are going to get.

There is not much in between though, and given the volume of different uniforms they don during the season, you are likely to see at least four or five hideous displays of fashion per season. So for that, Oregon makes the list at number five.

4.  Syracuse Orangemen: Melon Orange

Mmm... Melon

I'm not sure that "melon orange" is the technical name for this jersey, but it sure is the functional term for this specific uniform combination. The regular bright orange jerseys they wear aren't great, but at least they pop out at you a little more.

The melon orange would be a great color for painting the walls of an opponents locker room; soft, calming and sure to provoke anything but excitement and competitive spirits.

3.  Wyoming Cowboys: Brown tops with Yellow pants

Uhhh... Shanked uniform

The Wyoming Cowboys haven't had a relevant football season in who knows how many years. Showing up on game day so poorly dressed, only makes matters worse. The players can't feel good about themselves while they are dressing in the locker room before each game. My guess is they are super excited though, to rip those jerseys off the second the game is over.

To make matters worse, the jerseys the Cowboys will be wearing in 2011, are a brand new design. Translation: Wyoming is going to look this bad for several years to come. Even if the unis aren't received well, Wyoming's athletic department can't have that much wiggle room to spring for a whole new set in 2012.

2. Florida A&M: Orange and Green

Carrots anyone?

Plain and simple, taking the field looking like a carrot is never a good idea. A&M would have been number one on this list had Maryland not hired some Project Runway drop out to design their newest uniforms.

When a team like Oregon takes the field looking so terrible, at least they offset their fashion woes by putting 50+ points on the scoreboard, causing fans to forget about the uniforms.  However, Florida A&M suffers from extreme fashionitus, as well as poor play.

Like Wyoming, a poor team wearing hideous jerseys is a sure fire way to land on a list like this one.

1. Maryland Terrapins: No explanation

Not a scene from Any Given Sunday. Seriously.

After watching Georgia unveil their new helmets against Boise State I thought nothing could get much worse. Then I turned on the Maryland versus Miami game. Uh, not exactly sure where to go from here. Twitter just about shut down after being overloaded with so many comments.

Maryland's uniforms looked like something out of a cheap Hollywood movie.

The Terrapins took the field wearing uniforms that can only be described as a Travashammockery! I'm not even sure what they were going for. Rumor is, the uniform is paying some form of homage to the state flag.

I've never seen Maryland's state flag, but for the sake of all Marylanders, I hope it looks nothing like these uniforms.
