While the colors are historically driven, Nike claims the new Pro Combat uniforms are 37% lighter than the tradition college garb and our first impression is they look like they are straight from a video game.

Alabama’s Nike uniforms have a Bear Bryant inspired hounds tooth pattern on the numbers with an Alabama A with double piping on the legs. The American flag is backwards like the they wear in the military.

Boise State’s Nike uniform is straight from an Electronic Arts game, they have a huge Bronco head on the helmet with mismatched sleeves and a B on the pants knee. They are Loud and obnoxious but what would you expect to see on the blue field.

Florida is very similar to their regular uniforms except with a lot of gator patters on the numbers.

Miami is orange all over, the jerseys are orange, the pants are orange and there is a huge U on the buttocks, not a good look.

Ohio State looks very traditional; their uniform is an inspired 1942 throwback with all red pants and jersey with grey socks. A bronze star adorns the helmet. It’s one of the best of the new uniforms.

Oregon State is a simple grey with orange numbers and piping on the pants, this is a very good look especially from a state that hasn’t been know for good uniforms.

Pittsburgh is another video game look, the uniform is very dark with piping on the helmet with a non-traditional font on the side of the helmet.

TCU’s Nike Pro Combat uniform is an abomination, the pants are frog skinned, the Helmet is frog skinned and the sleeves are frog skinned. Ish

Virginia Tech could be the worst of a bad bunch; they have orange shoes, Orange VT logos throughout the numbers on a black jersey. A huge VT adorns the teams helmet.

West Virginia is rather plain when you consider the other Nike Pro Combat uniforms. It’s a traditional grey as a call the states coal mining tradition with a Grey helmet.

The uniforms are different, they have a few winners and some definite losers but the NCAA and Nike should be able to sell a ton of these and make a few bucks.
