I can’t promise they’ll play like they had Sayers in the backfield once more, but a permanent move to these bad boys would at least improve the aesthetics for beleaguered Jayhawks fans. The pièce de résistance however, are the improved numbers and the bold KANSAS emblazoned on the jersey. The bird is out and a ‘bowtie’ K logo is in on the helmet, and the colours match those worn by Kansas when Gale Sayers was strutting his stuff in Lawrence. Aided by Adidas’ ‘reverse retro’ range (which other teams have benefited from too), the Jayhawks went back in time to the 1960’s for their Homecoming game against Texas Tech in October. Despite owning one of the most iconic mascot logos in collegiate sports, I’ve never been able to get on with their traditional uniforms, almost certainly spoiled by their ornate, ‘Times New Roman’ number font. Unlike other teams in a similar predicament on the gridiron, The Jayhawks have failed to help themselves stylistically either. Kansas, as a football program, is a mess. The collection and combos they can make out of their uniform portfolio is now one of the best in college football – and they’ve even showcased some old-school decals too, including the pelican logo from 1920-24, and mascot ‘Greenie’ as pictured above. Despite the contradiction with their official nickname, the green decoration really becomes a feature of the uniform – and they can still revert back to their traditional colours when they break out their special all-green ensembles with hollow logo on the helmet. In 2021, Tulane went further, fully migrating to their retro ‘Greenies’ angry wave logo, and alternating their helmets between white and blue. The helmets stayed green, but the pants and stripes switched, with green becoming the touch colour instead. ![]() Whoever it was in the room brave enough to suggest The Green Wave changes their primary colour to blue was an absolute GENIUS. Well, it had gone stale, and back in 2020, Tulane were in need of a makeover. In previous seasons, Tulane have been religiously green and white, with the ‘T’ logo adorning the helmet. The first full re-brand to make the list. Let’s hope we see more of this kit combo in 2022. ![]() Thankfully, Kent State have now shared their new colours with their other sports teams – and the baseball jersey in particular is a knockout. Yet the helmet steals the show, with the throwback lightning bolt on the left and player number on the right.ĭustin Crum looked a vision in baby blue, but sadly succumbed to the rampant Huskies. The jerseys are a pleasant alternate to their usual darker blue colours, but the black and yellow number outline really makes it pop. The Golden Flashes sported this combo in week 9 when they hosted NIU for a spot of prime-time Thursday night #MACtion. The MAC needed some representation in this list, and this uniform is well worthy of a spot in the top 25. As a Chargers fan, I am uniquely qualified to know what a nice jersey looks like, and a blue and yellow colour scheme is always easy on the eye. If you’ve got an issue with light blue, or powder blue, or baby blue – whatever you want to call it – then we’re not going to get on.
