My Worst of the NFL 12.11.12

My worst of the week for 12.11.2012

The Cincinnati Bengals wore their alternate orange uniforms. I usually don't prefer black uniforms, but I think I like the Bengal's regular black better than I do the alternate orange.

And the New York Jets wore their Mr. Green Jeans uni this week. The Jets may have gotten a badly needed win, but the green britches don't work for me. I definitely prefer the whites.

College Football's Worst of the Year

The FBS regular season finale provided a very nice surprise with both Army and Navy getting into the alternate uniform mix. We'll take a look at the Army-Navy game as well as review my worst college uniforms of the year.

Let's start with the Army Navy game. I commend both teams for going non-traditional without butchering the whole uniform. It was a classic game with Navy winning in the final minute, and I'm giving Navy the nod on the uniform as well. Well done on both accounts.

Excellent job by both teams, especially Navy.


On to the worst of the year. These offenders were the worst of the worst this year. Feel free to leave a comment if you agree or disagree.

You could select several of Maryland's uniform combos from this season. Here's a hint: if it looks like  three teams are on the field at once, you've gone too far.

No respectable worst-of list would be complete without Virginia Tech's Foghorn Cleghorn helmets. The Fightin' Gobblers actually wore these twice this year!!


In what some called the 'Scrabble Game'  Nebraska and Wisconsin tied for ugliest of the week earlier in season. Both uniforms deserve consideration for worst of the season.


Tube Sock. Tube Sock. Tube Sock!!

Notre Dame doesn't need to tinker with their classic uniforms. Period. Off-centered helmet designs are a sign of someone trying too hard to look cool.

Twice this season UNC wore this chrome helmet with the large Tar Heel print. I like to call it the 'Big Foot Get Up'.

Here's a closer look at the Sasquatch lid.
