Not to kiss anybody’s butt, but great post, Chas. I don’t know how you ran across that website, but I couldn’t agree more with 90% of what they said (the main thing that I disagreed with them about being the coolness of Penn State’s uniforms).

The weird thing is that when Pitt first changed its unis, I remember mostly being happy about it. I mean, I definitely liked the old colors better (Vegas gold? What, are we in Nevada or something?). But I used to think that the old script Pitt was so gay looking that the new unis were positive in the balance. Now, I love the old script Pitt. I don’t know what changed. Maybe I just got old.

Incidentally, as the self-appointed Fashion Critic of College Football, I will hand out my first annual “Oregon Award” for the worst dressed team in Division I-A later this year. My only nominations so far are Penn State, Pitt, Purdue, and, of course, Oregon (Has anybody seen their new home unis yet? They’re even worse than last year’s. The jersey is a shocking, bright yellow with John Deere green trim. It’s appalling.). Any other nominations?

Also, I will be handing out a “Princeton Award” for the best unis. Nominations are, once again, welcome. So far, we have Oregon State and Princeton (keep in mind that you can’t be nominated for just copying somebody else’s uniform, Michigan).

And damn, I wish that I had bought a Billy West jersey before it was too late.
