Found myself watching a 60 min replay of Ariz-ASU and was just disgusted with how horrible both teams uniforms looked, considering they both had nice unis in the past. Got me thinking which schools need to go back to something classic, or just need something new overall.

Texas Tech, Oregon, and Georgia Tech have gone to some throwbacks for select games that looked amazing, I think they need to be full time:




Arizona, Arizona St, Syracuse amd Missouri all come to mind as teams that need to go back to a more classic look:





I'm sure there are more that didn't cross my mind, but these all seem so obvious. I like a lot of the newer uniforms, but some of these have jumped the shark with chrome, charcoal gray (wtf ASU?), and unnecessary piping all over the place (GT is the worst offender).

Pitt used to fall in this category, but they are going back retro.

I agree on Cuse. I saw Oregon State wearing some ugly threads recently but I don't know if that's their new uniform or was a one off.

ASU's sparky logo is fantastic. And they replaced it with a stupid looking fork.

Really the only unis that should go back are ASUs. Really don't have a problem with any of the others. Even ASUs current unis look good, it's just they used to have tGOAT

I've never liked Washington State's unis. They could do something different/better and remain with the colors.

GT needs to drop Russell when the contract is up in 2018.

What about the old Cal...





Personally I always loved just the Bear paw on the helmet from the 1980's.

Outside of Mizzou I believe aTm and Mississippi State are due for some consistency. Both Adidas go figure

But Adidas did get the Miami rebrand correct for this year so that's cool.

Missouri's uniforms look pretty damn good to me. Yes, Arizona State and Oregon's old uniforms look much better. Louisville is another school that needs to go back to their old uniforms.

Most of those are hideous.

I'll never understand the mindset that just because a uniform is old or vintage, it's somehow always objectively better. It's insane.

Oregon's old uniforms were truly awful. Mizzou's new uniforms are excellent. Arizona State's rebrand was perfectly executed.

UCLA. Wtf did they do to their numbers? And BLACK???

Missouri tries too hard, they have the colors to be really good, but they've ruined them by removing the classic "M" from their helmets and trying to be the Oregon of the middle of the country.

The A on the new (last few years) arizona helmet is too small

As a Georgia Tech fan, I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. These need to be the 3 staples (with Nike or UA taking over for a higher quality uniform):

The classic looks are ALWAYS better than the new crap.
