Arkansas finally unveiled their new uniforms today after weeks of speculation. Surprise, they look exactly like the leaked photos from weeks ago.
Another surprise, they look just as ugly as we thought.

Thankfully the helmets look better than the jerseys.

The grey helmet Eastern Michigan will wear with their new grey uniforms this season
Eastern Michigan will be debuting new grey uniforms this season at an unknown game. According to the schools website, the uniforms are from the Adidas Techfit line.
The 2012 Eastern Michigan Football team will feature new state of the art football Techfit uniforms. These uniforms are seamless and 30 percent lighter than the normal stretch mesh jerseys. Adidas outfits the Eagles with top of the line products including the new 6.9 oz Adizero Cleats, which are the lightest football cleats ever made on the market. We feel if you look good, you will feel good and play good!
If you click on the photo, you will see the laminated info cards and a small picture of the grey uniforms. They appear to be the same design as the regular uniforms, with green stripes on the shoulders and green numbers with white trim.
I’m never a fan of going outside of your school colors for a uniform change, and grey is the new overplayed black. Then again, they could be worse.

Here is the uniform of the week for Maryland. I enjoy the fact that they are sticking with the black helmet.

Today’s Best is going to be real short because the first article is so good.
If you only read one of these links all week, maybe even all month, it needs to be this article from Kristi Dosh on why the Perryman article about the economic impact on the state of Texas if Texas A&M moves to the SEC is nothing but a scare tactic.
Then again, if you want to read more, try the following:
You can debate Lane Kiffin, who I refer to as the “worst coach in FBS” with the guys at Crystal Ball Run.
Matthew Elder has the opposite opinion of me on the Roger Goodell ruling on Terrell Pryor and I think it is always worth reading the opposing sides point of view. Don’t worry, I still believe Goodell was 100% correct in what he did.
A link via Brian Grummell again with more about how bad the USC ruling by Paul Dee and company was. In fact, the ruling was so bad that USC and AD Pat Haden are still considering suing the NCAA.
An idea for commissioners for NCAA sports.
Finally, I leave you with what I thought was a joke of a picture, the Cy-Hawk trophy which will be awarded to the winner of the Iowa State-Iowa football game each year. Yikes!
