The College Football Uniform Playoff (Part V – Sun Belt Conference)

I don’t remember if I already did the Sun Belt Conference. So fuck it, I’ll do it again.

14. Georgia Southern Eagles

I don’t hate this uniform as much as the other navy blue/white combos. The variations on the helmet elevate it above the others. But it’s still pretty weak overall.

13. James Madison Dukes

I’ll give them props for using purple. But the purple and gold combo is not a pretty sight, especially when you’re nursing a Friday night hangover.

12. Troy University Trojans

The numerous variations make this a solid outfit overall. It’s not a bad uniform, just doesn’t do much to stand out.

11. Texas State Bobcats

Maroon is a classic college football color, but when it’s paired with gold it only reminds you of colleges that do it better. It’s no Florida State is what I’m getting at.

10. South Alabama Jaguars

The school’s acronym is USA, so it makes sense to use red, white, and blue. But if you’re going to do that, make sure that you use AMERICAN blue and not NAVY blue. But the all red alternates are pretty good.

9. Old Dominion Monarchs

The navy blue (or “monarch” blue as they call it) ain’t shit. But the “sky” blue ones are a thing of beauty.

8. Louisiana at Monroe Warhawks

I rarely ever see these guys on TV so I forgot how good of a uniform this is. But they need to ditch the white helmet to make it pop a little better.

7. Georgia State Panthers

Just a nice simple uniform. I’m not a fan of that logo though.

6. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

One word comes to mind: bold. Does it entirely work for me? No. But respect nonetheless.

5. Louisiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns

Like the simple red and white. LOVE the logo and name ‘Ragin’ Cajuns’. But they seem to be missing an opportunity to do something more interesting with the design.

4. Arkansas State Red Wolves

‘Red Wolves’ is kinda a dumb name, but the logo is solid. They should just stick with the solid red or black uniforms though.

3. Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles

I’ve said this a million times: black and yellow (or gold) are the best colors to put on a football uniform. But they should just stick to putting the “Golden Eagle” logo on the helmet and not the boring “Southern Miss” name.

2. Marshall Thundering Herd

Green is another color that’s criminally underused in football. There’s some design flaws, but they are all easily overlooked because of the strong colors.

1. Appalachian State Mountaineers

Like I said, black and gold are the best football colors. And App State let the colors speak for them. Best uniforms in the conference.

Appalachian State advances.
