A couple of days ago we put together our list of the worst college football uniforms and ever since college football fashionistas from across the land have bombarded our inbox with nominations for the best uniforms. And while the photos of football players were nice most of the fashion commentary was over my head.

So without further delay here’s the SportsFags list of the Top 5 Best College Football Uniforms.

#5 UCLA - There’s something about UCLA Blue and California Gold that works well for the Bruins. And although the school’s official blue is darker than what appears on their uniforms we think they made the right decision. And besides, sports bears love the cuddly lil’ Bruin mascot.ucla_uniforms1

#4 SMU – After 20+ years of exile the Mustangs, or Ponies as they are known around Dallas, are finally in the Top 5 again. Too bad it’s for fashion and not football. The Ponies combination of Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue looks awesome at night when they play in front of 400 people at the new Gerald Ford stadium. Plus, they got a black Shetland Pony named Peruna.smu_uniform1

Here’s where it gets really tough.

#3 University of Georgia – No one does Bulldogs like Georgia. Their official colors are Red and Black and when the Dawgs go all black at night between the hedges those Southern boys get crazy. A full day of drinking may have something to do with that as well. ‘UGA’, their feisty bulldog, roams the sidelines, pissing and pooping all over the place. georgia_uniform1

#2 Penn State – The Nittany Lions are named after mountain lions that used to populate nearby Mount Nittany. Their uniforms are simple blue and white, classic and understated which reflects the work man like approach they take to football and life in Western PA.Penn State1

#1 Notre Dame – Whether you love them or hate them as a football team the Navy Blue and Gold of Notre Dame is synonomous with college football. Their nickname is the Fighting Irish and they got an angry ass Leprechaun as their mascot. notre_dame_uniform1

Plus, who can forget that Brady Quinn used to be in that uniform, although he looks pretty good with it off. OK, I know that was just an excuse to put a shirtless photo of Brady Quinn in the post.
