[QUOTE="mattcoldagelli, post: 1473620, member: 11524"] I think contrast and consistency are the key to a good football look. Sticking with Auburn and UCF above, a dark jersey is always going to look better with white pants. The reverse is obviously also true - look at how much better this UCF combo looks: [IMG]https://www.ucf.edu/news/files/2018/08/ucf-football-vs-uconn.jpg[/IMG] When I say "consistency" I mean things like striping - look at the stripes on the Auburn uniform above. Now, they can't be the exact same because they're appearing on different base colors, but the orange is always the most prominent and in the center, whether it is on the helmet, the sleeves, or the pants. UCF, on the other hand, has some sort of abbreviated black/vanishing gold stripe that is not replicated anywhere else on that uniform. The annoying thing is, we had this right and got away from it. The eternal bummer of the Slant Illinois Era is that a bad helmet logo undid an otherwise really solid, classic look: [IMG]http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/nov-2001-quarterback-kurt-kittner-of-the-illinois-fighting-illini-picture-id605022[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
