When it comes to college football teams there are several aspects that are easily recognizable – the name (college and/or nickname), mascot and, of course, the uniforms. Whether it’s in person or watching on TV, one thing that always stands out – whether that ends up being a good thing or bad – is what a particular team is wearing.

Uniform rankings are nothing new, as AthlonSports.com contributors tackled each of the Power 5 conferences earlier this offseason, but what about an overall top 25 for all FBS teams? Athlon decided to pose this question to a collection of editors and contributors with each participant coming up with their own list of their favorite 25 unis. Once the votes were tabulated, this was the end result. Plenty of familiar names and looks on here, but there may be a surprise or two as well.


25. TCU
24. Auburn
23. Nebraska
22. Navy
21. Miami
20. Tennessee
19. Florida
18. North Carolina
17. Colorado
16. Boise State
15. Washington
14. Oklahoma
13. Georgia
12. Oregon
11. UCLA
10. Clemson
9. Florida State
8. Alabama
7. Texas
6. Ohio State
5. LSU
4. USC
3. Penn State
2. Notre Dame
1. Michigan


5. LSU
College Football Uniforms: LSU TIgers - When you look on the field and see the familiar purple and gold of the Tigers, those uniforms only add to the familiar, special scene. The colors fit in perfectly with the unique state and create an identity for the Bayou Bengals that few can match.

We should be in the top 3, if not, number 1. Michigans uniforms are nothing too spectacular, in my opinion. Neither are Notre Dame, Penn State, or USC's.

The one that really doesn't belong is Penn State. Sorry, but there is nothing special about navy and white. Those unis are what you'd expect a prison team to wear.

Florida State
Clemson
Oregon
Boise State
North Carolina
TCU

It's nothing more than a practice uniform, and they have no helmet to show off since they can't agree on a number.

Stop being a homer. ND navy, Penn St. all white are definitely top 5 along with Auburn's, Texas all white
Ole Miss red with powder blue helmets is up there too.

I'm just glad we have a unique color scheme that isn't unoriginal like the other 100 cfb teams with a form of red in their unis.

The shoulder stripe being fixed this year should bump us a few spots. It's SO much cleaner now.

They don't give a basis for creating the list. Just that they asked an unknown number of editors and contributors to come up with their top 25 uniforms. If it was based on uniqueness I think LSU would definitely be higher on the list. You can just glance at the TV for a second during an LSU game and instantly know it is either LSU or the Green Bay Packers playing. If the list was based on "best looking" LSU would be higher also.

Top 5:

5. LSU


4. USC
Like Yankees pinstripes in MLB or the Lakers’ purple-and-gold for the NBA, USC’s uniform is embedded in the fabric of college football. The classic look that has reigned throughout the decades at USC is one of the best in all of sports.


3. Penn State
The most iconic uniform in college football. White pants, no stripes. Navy blue jerseys, plain white numbers. And speaking of helmets, let's talk about the cleanest, whitest, brightest helmet in college football.


2. Notre Dame
Like pretty much every other team, Notre Dame has changed things up on the uniform front in recent seasons, especially for the “Shamrock Series.” But unlike most teams, the Fighting Irish don’t need a splashy, colorful alternate to attract attention because their standard look is already one of the best in the nation. It may be a simplistic look when compared to some other teams, but the gold and blue combination has withstood the test of time, and the same can be said for the team that wears it.


1. Michigan
The solid maize pants against the navy blue jersey is a timeless combination that will never go out of style. But let's be honest here: it's all about that helmet when it comes to Michigan's uniforms. The Wolverines may not have coined the design, but they've made it famous, and there is not a better looking helmet in all of football – college or pro, American or Canadian.



Yeah, I really don't get the Michigan thing at all. It is unique, but they stress how the helmet is the best in "all of football". I happen to think it is the ugliest helmet in "all of football". LSU's practice helmets look better. Michigan is just an ugly uniform to me.

As much as I hate Auburn, they should be much, much higher on the list.
