College Football Uniform Playoffs (Part VI- The American)

Some of the schools playing in the American Conference this year have already been covered. At least I think they’re playing in that conference this year. I don’t know. But it won’t affect the playoffs in any way. So let’s get into it.

7. University of Tulsa Golden Hurricanes

This is a good uniform, but Tulsa’s got a few things going against it: they play in Tulsa and the American is pretty strong uniform wise. The blue is strong but the gold mutes some of the boldness.

6. Tulane University Green Wave

Design-wise, it’s actually pretty good. The colors are nice, just not together. Besides, you’re the “green wave”. I’m sure there’s a good story behind it but why they fuck are you wearing Tar Heel blue?

5. East Carolina Pirates

Maybe in another universe I’d love this uniform. But this is where boldness starts to work against you. It’s not a good uniform to watch while you’re nursing a Saturday morning hangover.

4. Temple University Owls

It hurts me to put this one this low. The ‘T’ logo kicks ass and I have a soft spot for their alternates. But it’s just not strong enough to move forward.

3. University of Memphis Tigers

So sue me, I love the tiger stripes. I’d prefer it if they just used white full time to accentuate the blue as the grey kinda mutes it. But whatever. It’s serviceable.

2. South Florida Bulls

Too bad they perpetually suck, because the Bulls have a great uniform. At least their standard uniform is good. If it weren’t for some of their shitty alternates, they might’ve won the conference.

1. Southern Methodist University Mustangs

Maybe I spoke too soon when I announced Louisiana Tech as the best team to wear red, white, and blue. Sure they look like the Buffalo Bills, but I like the Bills uniform. And mustangs are cool. Plus I LOVE it when they put ‘Dallas’ on the front of the jersey. So put SMU in the Big 12!

SMU advances!
