Bama’s unis are generally considered to be the most iconic of all time, or at least top 5. There is simply nothing more terrifying to opponents than to see the crimson and white coming out of the tunnel. To me they are the ultimate blend of class, respect for tradition, and general awesomeness. Nothing else can compare.

Bama doesn't even have the best uniform it its own state.


True. They’re a classic, don’t get me wrong, but several other great uniforms in the state.

I'm going with Bama. I hate helmet stickers.

Why not throw Penn State in there if you're judging plain-as-shite unis?

Bama's unis are as traditional as you can get. Nothing flashy. Stanford's traditional unis have a little more "personality". They have the S on the helmets and their shades of white and red are a little more bright than Bamas.

But I like this Stanford unis.

If Stanford would get rid of helmet stickers they would win. But given that no real team will have helmet stickers, I must go with Bama.

Stanford. The number on the side of the helmet is stupid


Bama has the old Penn State Unis.

So many teams did this in the olden days, Bama is the only one that stuck with the segregation era unis.

This is PSU's 60's throwback uniform:

There is no more iconic uniform in college football than Bama’s all whites.

If anyone but Bama had those uniforms they’d be universally considered the worst in college football. I get tradition, but strictly fashion-wise they’re terrible.

Being iconic doesn't mean it looks good.

The Toronto Sharaton is "iconic" it's still hideous.

Dodgers stadium is iconic. It's still a shithole.

Lady Gaga is iconic, yet, she's objectively pretty ugly.

Being iconic has nothing to do with aesthetics.

This

LA Coliseum is maybe the most iconic stadium outside of the Rose Bowl...but it's a dump.

Like I said, lots of teams had those old high school helmets that Bama still wears but they grew out of them.

In fact Penn State grew more iconic by dumping the stupid high school numbers on the helmet.

And just going all white.

Which looks better.

I applaud Alabama with sticking with the same unis but they weren't unique then and they aren't unique now. Just looks like old high schools.
