Ranking the 50 most visually-appealing college football uniforms
By Zach Bigalke
College football is obviously bigger than just the FBS or even than the two tiers of Division I. Beyond the top level of the sport, there are still plenty of spectacular uniforms to witness on gridirons across the country each Saturday.
One school that proves that dictum each weekend is the Colorado School of Mines. The Orediggers, bedecked in silver and blue, have been one of the most dominant Division II teams of the 21st century under Bob Stitt and now Gregg Brandon. They have benefitted from some great uniform combinations over that run of dominance.
The all-navy look seen above is clean and sleek, a timeless outfit for football. Under Armour has started to put a hammer and pick at the right shoulder to offset the corporate logo, a nice touch to differentiate a simple style. One of the best moves of recent years, though, has been the use of the school logo in place of the M on the helmet:

That braying quadruped takes these uniforms up an extra notch, making Colorado School of Mines perhaps the most stylish team at the Division II level. Honorable mentions go out to the Northwest Oklahoma State Rangers and their all-black and all-red options.
