Baylor uniforms not actually sponsored by French’s classic mustard

It was all yellow, as in the Baylor Bears football uniforms on Saturday afternoon vs. the Texans Longhorns. No, they do not have a mustard sponsorship.

Only a week after blowing a 28-3 lead at home vs. the Oklahoma Sooners, the Baylor Bears decided to blind the Texas Longhorns with their uniforms. They went entirely yellow and looked like they were sponsored by French’s classic mustard. Mustard is an excellent condiment, but it shouldn’t be the hue you’re going for on a college football uniform.

Baylor has tried to be the Oregon Ducks of the Big 12 with their uniforms in recent years. I mean, their head coach Matt Rhule rocks a signature sleeveless gray hoodie, that he never pulls up, over a white t-shirt. So we wouldn’t expect anything less from Baylor, the same football team that blew a 28-3 lead at home when College GameDay was in the house.

Pat McAfee essentially belly-flopped into the Brazos River for nothing. And if any Baylor football player echoed his sentiment, they would still be 100 percent mustard yellow. Do the Bears want an official mustard sponsorship? Should they start a bidding war between French’s and Heinz? The answer is 100 percent yes.

Of course, Twitter absolutely hated these uniforms. It’s not as boring of a mustard yellow as what the Iowa Hawkeyes had a few weeks ago, nor is it as putrid of a hue of the spicy mustard the Jacksonville Jaguars once wore on Thursday Night Football. They were so bad that even Blake Bortles said those jerseys were disgusting. How does Charlie Brewer feel about these threads?

So yes, few people like Baylor’s football fashion statement. Then again, this is the same school that dresses like highlighters during Big 12 basketball games, so we shouldn’t have expected anything less. They love yellow, the more egregious, the better, or the worse. However, you want to look at that, or don’t look at that. My eyes. Our eyes, collectively. They burn.

And that is what Baylor should do to these uniforms this evening, burn them. Nobody has ever said in life that more yellow makes something better. In fact, it only makes things worse. Baylor needed some more green, just like the Bears needed a new game plan after blowing a 28-3 lead at home last week vs. Oklahoma to lose and to certainly miss out on the College Football Playoff.
