Alternate uniforms

This is the Golden Age of Alternate Uniforms....especially in football.  I have never seen so many alternate uniforms in one year as I have in college football.  The Oregon Ducks have been doing it for years but now it seems a lot of teams are finding some way to turn their uniforms inside out.  Some look pretty good.  Some are awful.  If you can stomach it, look at the University of Indiana's or University of Maryland's

The NFL seems to fixate more on throwback uniforms and to be honest, most of them deserve to be called "throwaway."  My Steelers have the worst looking one but Michelle likes their socks, so we may be stuck with them for a while.  The only problem is that sometimes I cannot tell who is playing.

"Black out" uniforms are a failure.  Sorry, they just are.  Although they remind me of the Northmarcher elite Demon Division, the problem is that they all look the same.  No distinctiveness.  I don't know about the psycobabble about all black causing fear but anyone who steps out onto the field with 300 plus pound linemen is out of his mind anyway.

East Carolina has suddenly started wearing black pants with black helmets and purple jerseys.  Looks too much like the Baltimore Ravens....definitely need to change that!  Better to go to all purple but then you end up getting Minnesota Viking comparisons....

And so it goes on.....:-P
