9. Miami Hurricanes

There’s just something about the Miami logo that draws people in. The U is one of the most iconic logos in college football and when you see it on a helmet, you have no choice but to love the look.

Is it because orange and green on a white background just looks clean? Maybe, but it’s probably something to do with the fact that Miami was one of the coolest teams in the 1990s and early 2000s, and that made a lot of people fall in love with the Hurricanes’ uniforms.

I do think that Miami could afford to try more alternate looks with the helmet, but you really can’t go wrong with the “U” on the white helmet with an orange stripe outlined by green right down the middle.

When you think of Miami, you think of swag, and when you see the white pants with an orange jersey and the white helmet, that meets the description.
