Ugly Uniform of the Day


Today's UUOTD was unveiled Monday night for the second time this season. The Pittsburgh Steelers broke out their 60's throwbacks for a celebration of their 75th anniversary. These do not match. The mustard-colored helmets do not go with the white pants. The Steelers did well to do away with these uniforms in time for the dynasty of the 70's. The team was as bad as the uniforms when they wore them regularly.

Speaking of their dynasty: If the franchise is celebrating their past, why didn't they just wear their 70's uniforms? They're not that different from what they wear today, except for the fonts of the names and numbers.

The Steelers need to get back to their modern uniforms quickly.

You didn't take my suggestion for this category and put the girly OU uniforms on here, with the cute little flared cutout in the back.

He won't dare say anything negative about his beloved Sooners' unis. ;)

Okay ... I knew, as soon as I saw this game, that this uni was going to make it here. First of all, let me say that I love this jersey. I think they should go with the jersey much more often. In fact, I wouldn't mind owning one, that's how much I love it. Next, the pants and the helmet with this jersey are so very unstable ... especially that helmet. Also, white pants with the black jersey are not right. Bleah. Anyway, they need to come up with a different combo while keeping that awesome jersey! :)

The jersey is not bad at all. It's those stupid pants with that mustard helmet. If they would get yellow-gold pants to match the helmet, the uni would improve ten-fold.

And, as I explained the other night, that is a belt showing on the back of the OU home uniform. It has an extra-wide belt loop on the back of the pants, making it look like there are towels hanging from the back of it. It is not girly.

A bit defensive, are we? ;)
