Those Maryland Uniforms were just ugly. Although they have like a dozen combinations to work with so they might get it right as the season goes on. Good stuff as always Chris w/. the recap....have a great weekend.

Haha, they were pretty ugly.  Definitely pushing the envelope with those uniforms and I hope that they do get it right.  But I think overall it's definitely a good thing for the university and Under Armour to have a uniform style playground. 

 

Getting lots of attention from it.  And I'm sure recruits are paying attention.

I suppose you are right there. I think the Under Armour founder is alumni right? Loved Rachel's article and hope folks check it out. Kinda cool to see a fresh take on things.
