Even Colleges make Stupid Decisions

After a week long hiatus due to a broken computer Hard Knox Sports is back. Sorry to keep all waiting but this hiatus produced great topics.

Regarding the previous post on the Oregon Duck new uniforms many debates were created regarding whether or not those are the worst. After many debates, arguments, and shoving matches it became obvious this topic had to be broken up into several leagues. Today starts with college football.

Hard Knox Sports presents the ten worst college football jerseys ever. For the record Oregon is just too good to be on here.

10.) The Florida Gators Orange Shoulder-They may be champs now, but they were chumps in these jerseys. The University of Florida looks like they ran out of blue fabric to make all their jerseys so they settled on using spare orange pieces of orange fabric to finish a jersey. Not even Tim Tebow can make these good.

9.) Oregon State "bib" jerseys-People complain about Oregon University but at least they did not have horrible random areas of color like the bibs on Oregon State. Unless the nickname of the team is the Rugrats no one should look like they are wearing a bib on the football field.

8.) Notre Dame alternate-The Irish green uniform should be a classic for the Fighting Irish, but it never is. Maybe it is that the jersey seems to go along with big losses. No matter what the jerseys leave Irish fans wanting to upchuck something of a similar color.

7.) Minnesota M shoulders-The Golden Gophers laid a golden egg with these duds. It looks like a heartrate that should be flatlined. The only bright spot of these is it got me to ignore these golden beauties.

6. tie) Cal and West Virginia yellow jerseys-Speaking of Golden. Both teams have a decent blue jersey and choose to wear these cheery canary yellow alternates. Especially Cal. If you are the golden bears, wear gold...not sun yellow.

5.) Clemson-No matter how many ways they wear their uniforms, Clemson can not find a good way to mix orange and purple. Orange helmets with purple pants and jerseys, all orange with purple outlines, nothing fits. It is like comparing grapes to oranges, just too different.

4.) Syracuse-Another jersey with a case of identity crisis. Is it supposed to be old time kind of look, or a new age version. Either way it is just plain awful, like the performance of the Orange. When I see this all I think is road construction on 495.

3.) Idaho-While the jersey may not be that bad, they need to be high up on the list for the idea of a butt logo. All jokes are far too easy to make on this one. Hard Knox Sports will leave it at this. Gives their opponents an easy target to kick when they lose horribly.

2.) Florida A&M-Terrible on so many different levels. The only thing orange goes with less than purple is pea soup/puke green. The FAMU spread out across the jersey looks like a horrible attempt to try to spell famous on their chest. Poor spelling or not these jerseys are some famously bad ones.

1.) Iowa State-Rated worst jerseys not just because they look bad, but they are a horrible attempt at ripping of the football jerseys at USC. the excessive amount of stripes and gold MC Hammer pants should make the Trojans want to beat the Cyclones by 50 every year on week one in college football. The only way Iowa State could be worse is if they kept the idea to replace the helmets with facepaint and a red wig. Of course that idea was already taken.

That is all for now. Stay tuned for the next list of horrible sports jerseys.
