From Hustlebelt.com on MAC Media Day. Love Toledo's ranking...

I think ours are best, and everyone else is tied for last.

Can't really disagree with Top 3 but Ohio at #4 to me is a stretch. BG should be #4 or possibly even swap with Kent and be #3. BG did rank #1 in all football, deservedly so, with its tribute to military helmet.

While NIU's black matte finish is great, the logos are meh. Kent State's helmet is way overrated in that piece. Akron's Z-on-gold helmet is underrated.

I've always thought Ohio has some of the best uniforms in the conference.

Ohio has the most Penn State or Alabama look in the conference. Classic, simple.

Eastern Michigan made a list of worst uniforms ever. Seriously this is not easy on the eyes. It is so bad it looks green-screened:

EMU is hard to watch on television against that grey field, even when they don't have on that yellow.

But I like the factory concept, including the steely E on the helmets. It works for them.

Wow, that's the first time I've seen those EMU uniforms. I was about to go have lunch, but I think I'll skip it due to the feeling of nausea that has suddenly set in. I'm all for coming up with unique looks, but that's just terrible.

Hate that grey field.
Love the yellow, and the main green on those unis.
Hate having multiple shades of green on the jersey/helmet.
Really hate the "digital" font on the numbers.

I'm pretty much in step with you, Hammb. If the uni was just the yellow with that lighter green with white trim, I could work with that. It's throwing in the darker shade of green that just wrecks it and the ugly font puts it over the top.

I actually like the gray field idea, but the problem is with it in Ypsilanti is that it doesn't mesh real well with some of their uniform combos. Some ok, others not. Leaving their field green would have matched up better with their team colors. Georgia could use gray turf with red or black accents or maybe Air Force with blue accents.
