SI.com, everyone’s favorite, um, website that used to be a magazine about illustrations regarding sports, has come up with another super scientific completely made up top ten list pictorial. In fact, they’ve made two of them. Of course, being creators of fake crap ourselves, we are always intrigued. What was the subject of this bogus top 10 you ask? Why, uniforms of course.
First, SI.com issued their top ten best uniforms list. Apparently, solid jerseys with numbers is what is needed to justify a top ten ranking. That being said, the #1 team, Texas, we believe was a mistake. The guy putting up the pictures saw a placeholder that read “UT” and accidentally put up the counterfeit jerseys that someone had apparently let get kinda dirty, or “burnt” if you will.
An interesting note is that on the first picture, which features the super-well designed solid red jersey from Georgia, you might notice that the “G” on the helmet of the player in front doesn’t match the “G” on the helmet on the player behind him. Now, that’s good designing right there.
Also of interest, were SI.com’s views on the top ten worst uniforms list. Of particular interest is the fact that Notre Dame appears on both lists. Don was quick to point out that the Notre Dame unis in question on the worst list only referred to the green jerseys, but other than the color, the uniform itself (an outstanding level of creativity what with the solid color, and no decorations on the helmets and all) remains the same as the normal jerseys.
I think they could have tried harder with both lists, especially due to the fact that everyone could see where the lists were headed (read: Oregon’s beautiful unis). Is SI.com run by people from Oregon? I mean, sure it’s #1 on the worst list, but like they say, any publicity is good publicity.

Delaware AND Rhode Island have football teams? Who knew?
no kidding. I mean, if the criteria is going to be that there is an actual team, I’m sure there’s some division 12-AAAAAAA teams that have terrible uniforms.
Wow, just wow. Georgia Southern and Wofford’s uniforms look slightly better than grasscutter leage football unis.
And well, there is not enough room on this site for me to start ranting about Texas.
