Akron Helmets make the list

Agreed that Penn St is the best, could care less about the rest of the list.

The gold helmets, and the black uniforms they're going with, are terrible.

The matte blue helmets that were teased in April are night-and-day better.

That's a lame article - just some guy's opinions. It's probably based on whatever publicity photos came across his desk in the prior week.

"Head coach Terry Bowden has been tweeting out photos of the Zips' new prototype uniforms this summer, and the look is fairly simple when it comes to the uniform design. But that would be leaving one important part out: the extremely polished and shiny gold helmet the players could be wearing if Akron debuts this sleek uniform in the fall. Those things are seriously reflective, but the engraved "Z" on the side is pretty slick."

So looking at this journalistically -

- you focus on the engragaved "Z" on the side - why cain't you show that in the picture? You got me wanting to see that, if you can't show the thing, how do I know it's as purty as you say it is?

- "if Akron debuts this sleek uniform in the fall" - IF! You're telling me about the best uniforms for 2014, but this one is just a 'could be'?

You're really getting to the bottom of the barrel if you're writing articles about uniforms. That's as bad as a lot of what you get with the Super Bowl - TV coverage about the TV coverage.

Look like my back in the day HS practice jerseys.

I don't care for Penn State's uniforms. They're okay, but there are lots that I like better.

I sort of like them, not nearly as much as UCLA's but definitely more than Stanford's bland black and white numerals. At least they aren't Tennessee hideous.

I don't believe that people actually like the Penn State uniforms.

I think it's just something that everyone has heard and regurgitates because people are stupid and lazy and don't think for themselves.

This list is a joke. There is nothing special about Mississippi State's Anniversary Uniforms, Arky's uniforms and BYU's uniforms. The NC State helmet posted is also nothing special-- there have been 20-25 teams who have done better alternate looks with their helmets.

As for the Penn State uni's people just say they like they for nostalgia purposes.

This, my MAC friends, is a damn good looking uniform:

I definitely like it when Kent wears blue for the jersey rather than the yellow.
