Nike’s provided the Ducks with several pink-inspired looks over the last few years, but Thursday’s matte black helmets with a pink primary logo on the back of the shell along with matching mach speed uniforms was one of the best. Oregon’s ensuing loss to Arizona was just the start of a record-setting Week 6 filled with upsets in the Top 10.
Texas A&M debuted an all-black with maroon accents uniform at Mississippi State two years ago and unveiled its inverse Saturday, an all-white Adidas set. The Aggies’ chrome to white gradient helmets were fantastic, but silver numerals on white jerseys were lost in the sun — as were the wide receivers’ ability to catch passes from Kenny Hill.

Kentucky’s chrome helmets with a chrome primary logo against South Carolina were the perfect touch with all black threads during the Wildcats’ come-from-behind victory. We’ll see these again.
During a victory over Pitt, Virginia donned carbon fiber helmets for the first time under Mike London. They looked sharp with the Cavaliers’ all-white jersey-pants set.
