As I often say, great uniforms are one of the reasons why college football is so awesome. Some programs stay away from alternate uniforms, but others completely and totally embrace switching things up.
Usually, I’m against flashy stuff, but I’m 100% not against anything that involves honoring our great and beautiful military.

If you’re going to honor the military with some alternate uniforms, I can pretty much guarantee they will always earn my stamp of approval.
Not only do these Utah uniforms honor the military, but they’re also incredibly badass. The color pattern and all the small symbols paying homage to the USS Salt Lake City are great.
