Notre Dame's uniforms are important, historic, and symbolic. This is especially true for the home blue uniforms that the program has worn for a majority of their games in South Bend. I am going to embark on a journey to rank the best home Notre Dame uniforms of all-time. A few caveats that will be [...]
Why do NFL teams change their uniforms? From the current franchises Baltimore, Carolina, Chicago, Dallas, Green Bay, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas (this feels weird to type), New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Washington have all kept a consistent aesthetic for a considerable amount of time.

I originally had a list of 5 but decided to spare Mississippi State as they've made some solid improvements in recent years. The others here today, not so much. Write in the comments [...]
The 2018 season was quietly one of the best in recent memory for college football uniforms. No, not because of Notre Dame's Yankee-inspired offering from the Syracuse game which we can confirm caused Under Armour stock to plunge 4%* for being so absurd. Sure, we're still in the throes of Black for Black's Sake, random [...]
