The college football season keeps rolling on, and another week means another batch of fresh uniforms from programs across the country. Week 11 delivered no shortage of eye-catching looks, with Oregon and Houston leading the way.
One constant in the college football uniform game is Oregon bringing the heat. The Ducks are back on the charge this season, having notched back-to-back wins following a mid-season skid, and their uniforms for the Week 11 test against Michigan match the program's restored swagger.
Oregon's threads for the week take on a grayscale theme, setting aside the bright neon green and yellow colors in favor of a look that leans into black and grey. Green still appears in small supply on the jersey, outlining the metallic grey numbers on a jet black background.
Staring down the home stretch of a crowded race for the Big 12 title game, Houston is bringing out strong uniforms to add extra momentum. The Cougars will wear a clean set of icy whites against Colorado on Friday night, with the all-white base complemented by light blue and red accents.
Houston is not the only team in H-Town bringing the heat on the field. Fellow Space City resident Rice is also styling, with the Owls' look centered on their helmet. Instead of the school's traditional R logo, the helmet will feature a lone owl wing for a simple yet elegant design.
Virginia will also go with an alternate helmet for its game against Cal, taking up a patriotic theme. The Cavaliers' usual logo features the letter V above a pair of swords. On this helmet the V stays, but in a different font, and while the swords are gone, the letter takes on a red, white and blue colorway.
Some of the most underrated uniforms in the game belong to Wake Forest, whose gold and black color scheme can produce a variety of aesthetically excellent results. This week the Demon Deacons are leaning into a white base for their jerseys, but their helmets will catch the eye most of all: chrome gold lids with a sleek black Deacs wordmark as the team brings its look to Dallas.
Gold will also be a theme for Charlotte, which is leaning into the color for its game against East Carolina. The 49ers' helmet and jersey gold is a lighter shade than Wake Forest's chrome helmets, but it mixes with white and green elements elsewhere on the uniform for a strong look. Charlotte showcased the set at Charlotte Motor Speedway, tying the reveal to the city's racing roots.
