Week 7's top college football uniforms
Week 7 of the college football slate has teams rocking a number of stellar uniform combinations.
The East Carolina Pirates fuse decades of football history into their game-day threads, while the Oklahoma Sooners honor a trailblazing alum with their uniform set. The UCF Knights have an out-of-this-world uniform concept, and a few teams unveiled exceptional helmet designs.
Here's a look at some of the best gear from Week 7 across the college gridiron.
On Saturday, Oklahoma will debut its «Unity» uniform against the Kansas Jayhawks. According to the school's website, the threads were designed by a group of students to «emphasize the importance of togetherness and building relationships to better society.»
The gear also pays tribute to OU alumni Prentice Gautt. Gautt was the first Black scholarship player on the Sooners, starring as a running back from 1957 to '59. He played in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Cardinals from 1960 to '67.
Anthracite is the primary color and crimson is the accent hue. The word «unity» is placed across the jersey nameplate and «together» is sewn on the collar.

The Pirates will rock their «Modern Throwback» set against the Memphis Tigers on Saturday. Senior student Will Treadway designed the ensemble combining multiple eras of ECU uniforms.
According to the school's website, the white block numbers with a gold drop shadow on the jersey pay homage to the Pirates teams of the 1980s. The striping patterns used for the sleeves, pants and helmets is reminiscent of the ECU squads from the '90s.
