I know, I know, another patriotic helmet. But at look at this one. It's shiny. And glorious. I have no other words for it, to be honest. Except AMERICA.

Once upon a time, Eastern Michigan made it to the College World Series finals and fell to Arizona. The Eagles already had the sexiest threads in the MAC this season (let alone their hats), but now they're just showing off.

Normally, I'm not a fan of the hats that have the mesh material on four of the six panels, but these are really cool-looking. The cartoon Swoop holding a bat on the left side is a fun addition. The newer baseball logo (cursive E) is absolutely beautiful. Such a great look.
BGSU To Wear New Uni Combo Tonight in Detroit
Here is @BG_Football's full uniform combo for tomorrow night's MAC Championship! #BeatNIU pic.twitter.com/yTbqm4G9F0
— BGSU Athletics (@BGathletics) December 3, 2015
BGSU is now 13-for-13 on different uniform combos in the 2015 season. Tonight, they're the road team, so they'll wear their white jersey and will pair it with their brown helmet, facemask and pants. They tried the heavy-brown look against Toledo, and it didn't work. Will things be different against NIU?

The #ChadTough story, by and large, had been an extremely sad story to hear around the nation, let alone the state of Michigan. Lloyd Carr's grandson died of brain cancer on November 23 after a 15-month battle. Click here for information on the Chad Carr Foundation.

Are these the best helmets that Akron has worn? Abso-friggen-loutely. If voted for president, I will make sure that Akron wears these for every game (basketball too, just 'cause) and then hire somebody else to figure out your taxes. Vote for me if you want to see these worn more frequently.
BGSU Going Sans Helmet Stripe Tonight Against Ball State
#BGUniWatch Update: @BG_Football with a late uniform switch to orange pants. First time for the combo this season! pic.twitter.com/zxty4yvjou
— BGSU Athletics (@BGathletics) November 24, 2015
Bowling Green was originally going to be full Stormtrooper tonight with an all-white uniform, but they've made a last minute audible to orange pants. It'll be their first game this year with the white-white-orange combo. But did you notice something about the helmet? You've got the metallic orange face mask and the side logos -- but no center stripe! It's the first time ever BGSU's done that.

Going all-black with the uniforms has been done a thousand times before, but Northern Illinois knows how to make it look good. The seniors will play their last game at Huskie Stadium in all-black uniforms tomorrow night against the Ohio Bobcats.

The Falcons have 81 different possible combinations with their current set of uniforms, when you include their three different colors of helmet, face mask, jersey and pants. On Tuesday, they'll debut a never-before-seen combo by using brown for all four elements. It's a shame they don't have a Boise-esque all-brown field, because the look would really be complete.

Not many changes to their white road uniforms, but Northern Illinois is going to have an American flag touch to the helmets. They'll also have a patch on the uniforms which is honestly way cooler than going crazy with the jerseys.

It might not be Back To The Future Week anymore, but don't tell Kent State that. The Flashes will be giving these shirts away to the first 250 students that walk through the gates of Dix Stadium. It's a bold move. Let's see if it works.

One of the new elements of BGSU's uniform set for this season is their brown helmet. They wore it for their first two road games but not since. Tonight, they'll wear it at home for the first time and pair it with brown face masks, their orange jersey and brown pants. It's a sleek look. What do you think of BGSU embracing their school colors?
