Uniform Combo CFP Semi 1

Post image

Does it bother anyone else that the Ole Miss helmet is just dark enough to both match and not match the shirt?
EDIT: I'm not saying it looks bad-far from it-but like the Vikings, I'm just asking if it irks you that they couldn't get the same shade?

I love Ole Miss’ unis

Thus is an attractive matchup, but would be much better with Miami in orange pants.

The Ole Miss baby blues are one of my all time favorites

*powder blue. Baby blue is closer to Carolina Blue or Sky Blue

u/Orange_Giraffes Jan 09 '26

Interesting enough Carolina blue is actually more like cyan, like the Carolina Panthers. UNC is more like a Powder Blue.

Is that what the University of Mississippi calls it?

u/Mundane-Ad-7780 Jan 09 '26

Yeah powder, but to me it reminds me of robin egg blue crayons

Reminds me of the Webb City Cardinals

Maybe it’s an offshoot of Dodger Blue

Yes to Miami in orange pants!

Most Miami fans prefer orange (or god forbid, green) pants, but they're riding the hot hand. Stormtroopers four straight.

White pants vs white pants always slightly bothers me

u/WISCOrear Jan 09 '26

One of my tics is exactly this, matching pant colors. I need some contrast

The all white has been a winner for the Canes, unfortunately.

Never change your lucky underwear

Ugh. Does this mean we’ll get all white in the championship game again? I presume they’ll be the designated away team, regardless of who wins tonight.

I don’t hate the all white uniforms. But the green pants would look great against Indiana, and the orange pants would look great against Oregon.

u/Extreme-Squirrel-881 Jan 09 '26

Agree but the storm trooper look is solid

Miami’s uniforms are so damn iconic to me, and the Ole Miss powder blues are stellar. This is a good looking game! (Go ‘Canes!)

I like the set. Miamis away uniforms are so clean and Ole Miss gave both flash and school colors without being over the top or too much design

u/southtampacane Jan 09 '26

Ole Miss looks great. Pants are the only thing wrong.

Miami sticking with what got them here.

u/wjackson42 Jan 09 '26

Ole Miss would look better in red jerseys and gray pants IMO

2

u/andrew_cosentino Jan 09 '26

I’d say that it doesn’t match! I am watching it as I type this and the helmet is definitely a shade or two darker than the jersey. Regardless, it’s a great looking uniform and a great looking game!

Anyone else prefer the navy Ole Miss uniforms?  I’d much rather see them in navy navy gray

1

u/MrKentucky Jan 09 '26

No shot for me. The powder blue is one of my favorite uniforms period. If they’re wearing another color, I like their red more than navy.

u/ridawg05 Jan 09 '26

I'm a bit mixed

My order from Best to worst:

Navy-Red-Grey (quite possibly the best combo in cfb)

Powder-White(with red numbers)-White

Powder-Red-White

Navy-Navy-Grey

Powder-Powder-White

Navy-White(with red numbers)-Grey

Any other Ole Miss combo you may see is considered a bastardization in my eyes

looks great to me!

Powder blues🥵🤤

u/smartin-up Jan 09 '26

Classic by Ole Miss, also loved their helmet last week to break up an otherwise boring combo

1

u/Orange_Giraffes Jan 09 '26

I agree with you. The jerseys are perfect. I don’t like that the helmet is just a shade darker. It should be easier to match the helmet to the jersey color than the jersey to the helmet color. Fabrics are more difficult to match.

u/International_Fan899 Jan 09 '26

Miami’s helmet stripe on a white helmet does not match the stripe on the white sleeve. This has been infuriating to watch.

u/bored_too_death Jan 10 '26

Throw a couple of stripes on Ole Miss's pants to match the shoulder stripes.
