The Alternate Uniform.

The gem of the Bronco Throwbacks

The big craze, at least in the NFL, the last few years has been using throwbacks or weird old alternate jersey's once or twice a year and for the most part, I like it. It's fun to see some different takes on your team's uni and It's always interesting to see a 50 year old design on today's players, especially when it is eons from what anyone would dream of proposing to a team today. And actually, on the rare occasion I'm a bigger fan of the alternates than what the team actually uses; even more so on throwbacks...

Well in college, it seems teams, or at least maryland, are jumping on the Oregon bandwagon and instead of just using throwbacks or alternate jerseys, they are using entire alternate uniforms. From black to red to yellow to orange, Maryland unveiled a slew of new jerseys for the upcoming season at a recent "fashion show."

I have to admit, they aren't quite as conceptual as Oregon's, but it does keep you guessing on saturdays. I'm all for it. As long as the jerseys don't stray ridiculously far from the color scheme of the team, I don't think using multiple uni's is that big of a deal, even if you didn't like the design. It's a chance to see something new and gives work to people like me...and it gives all of us one more thing to look at on the internet...
