2 SEC programs named in ESPN's 10 greatest CFB uniforms
As part of the 150th anniversary of college football, ESPN panels have been voting on various “best of all-time lists.” This week, the topic is uniforms.
On Thursday, ESPN shared a list of “The Greatest Uniforms.” The list doesn’t appear to follow any strict set of rules, as some teams are listed (indicating full uniforms), while for other programs, some iconic pieces of the uniform are on the list. Two SEC programs – Alabama and LSU – make the 11-item list:
What team has the best college football uniforms?

As with most lists, there is sure to be plenty of debate and a number of CFB fans left feeling that their team was unfairly snubbed.
While Oregon’s numerous combinations have become a big part of the Ducks’ “brand,” it’s clear that the ESPN panel preferred more traditional looks.
ESPN is high. Alabama has ugly, boring, and plain uniforms. They are the worst in the SEC and maybe all of CFB
Where’s your team on the list? And in the rankings. That probably tells the whole story.
Dumbest comment in the history of social media…GTFOH…
Odd list. “The Greatest Uniforms” includes a coach’s hat and a helmet sticker. Ok then.
Yeah, the hat seems like a stretch for a “unform” list. Presumably, Spurrier’s visor was eligible as well.
Nice one. That made me laugh.
Butthurt much? Spurriers visor is iconic. Dont be mad cause ya’lls coaches are known for leaving for bammer, eating grass, and speaking unintelligibly.
Sensitive much? A visor isn’t part of a uniform. We have never had a coach leave for Alabama. Our coach beat your coach. Have a nice day.
The hat is iconic…Much better than your trashy ass “white jerseys”…
Ohio State’s stickers???
USC is terrible too. Nothing like a little mustard and ketchup.
Sounds to me like you’re a little envious. “Boring” is the same uniform pattern we see with 99.9% of every collegiate team in America with the team name blasting across the front of the jersey, numbers on the shoulder pads and stripes across the sleeves.
I’ll always take the originality of Alabama and Penn State’s uniforms over the similarity of nearly every other cfb uniform in America – as will most others who don’t play Alabama regularly and thus have no problems giving them credit where it’s due.
OSU players get a sticker for tying their cleats in two tries and participating in a positive play.
I’m an Auburn guy, but the list was invalid the moment I saw that it didn’t mention those Ole Miss light blue uniforms. That are some good looking unis. Personally, Auburn and Florida’s uniforms both look better than trying to mesh yellow and purple or that plain jane bama uniform, but to each their own.
This is the same group of people that listed the greatest walk-ons of all time, and never mentioned Kevin Greene. SEC Defensive Player of the Year and NFL Hall of Famer. Their opinion means less than two cents.
Penn State? For the love of god, those are the worst uni’s around (Ok better than Tulane but seriously boring). Penn State has the blank slate uniforms that every other team uses as a palet to design their uniforms on. You know how they call older women that like young men cougars? Well they call older men that like young men Nittany Lions. That’s for all you Auburn fans who have to travel to College Station in a few years. Good luck up there.
This list is retarded
If we are going to list helmets and not include Louisville Angry Bird, then the list is invalid.
Stickers, hats, just helmets? Go home ESPN. You’re drunk.
