Maryland Terps Unleash New FB Unis

We’ve been giving Nike a hard time this summer for redesigning every uniform they could get their hands on but the new football uniforms Maryland and Under Armour unveiled Monday night make Nike look somewhat sane.

After months of speculation, the Terrapins unveiled their new look under first-year head coach Randy Edsall and there really are no words to describe the results.

The Terps have ditched their traditional look for 16 uniform combinations that feature black and white helmets with a matte finish on the blacks and a turtle-shell texture on the whites. There is no decal on either and a stripe down the middle that uses part of the Maryland state flag.

As you can see below, the uniforms are nearly as wild.

Reaction on Twitter seems to be mixed:

“@tcreegs University of Maryland = Oregon of the East. New football uniforms are freshhh”

“@trentacker: Crabs and ugly football uniforms, THAT’S what #maryland does. #terps http://t.co/sQDPdHS”

We’ll go a step further: These are the worst uniforms in college football, even worse than Bowling Green’s.

Actually, Maryland’s new turtle-themed helmets are supposed to look like that

    These are sick, and anyone hating on them has to be 25+ or not get the impact that uni’s like this have on recruiting. Ask Oregon how well it worked out for them.

  • kevin charters

    no problem with inventiveness or change (by the way, i’m seventy-one, which, if my math serves me exceeds 25+) but what’s up with schools changing colors at will? tradition ought to mean something!!!

    • razor von Okham

      Maryland didn’t change it’s colors. They incorporated the State Flag into it’s uniform.

  • nmonaghan

    sweet unis

  • Frederick, MD

    They are pretty good.

  • Jonny

    I always feel bad for the white guys that have to wear these things, but these are some of the most original and all-round coolest uni’s in the country

  • cb

    These look Ridiculous!

  • glb

    The white ones are U—G—L—Y

  • cw

    went from best unis to worst!

  • rp

    i”m over 25, an alum, and long time Terp fan and attendee. These uniforms are horrible. Wipes out any sense of tradition, which IS important. With all the different combos, If you’re watching on TV you’ll have to see the score window to know they are playing. Letting the players choose what combo to wear for each game, what a joke.

  • PYLrulz

    Not Oregon hideous (and, short of the number design, I actually like the red unis and black helmet), but the “Turtle shell helmet” is meh

  • robert

    oregons illegal recruiting had more to do with it than their helmets,by the way lsu spanked them

    • Maq

      Oregon uses the same guy in Tex to help recruit as LSU does, so shut your mouth! 13 points is no spank! DUH!!! Do your math straight. And Uni’s do not impact recruiting, team tradition, skill, national recognition, and things like that do! Not the fact that “hey those are cool! so lets go play for them!” I DON”T THINK SO……

  • vanessa scott

    OMG, the circus has come to College Park. Hideous, outrageous, despicable, downright ugly. As a Maryland grad I am appalled at my school selling out and this is what Under Armor comes up with. This is football, not an Italian or Parisian runway! Great look for Rupaul.

  • acPro

    everybody loves the Cincy Bengals tiger-striped helmets and unis…why not turtle shells ?

  • http://msn Ed Miller ’67

    Hideous, absolutely hideous. I guess if you are under 18 you would say they were “Sick”. Well, I’m 67 and I agree they are SICK!

  • Rob

    As a Carolina man, I’m DD-elighted. It should make it much easier to recruit against that backstabbing university, and its new, insufferably arrogant AD.
    –Can’t wait to see what effect these “handome” new unis, have on alumni contribution$.

  • Tony

    I didn’t know if they were going to play football or drive in a NASCAR race.

  • Mom90210

    They are NOT hideous, merely boring!
