Columbia (2017), Cornell (2017), Dartmouth (2017)

Continuing our look back at the uniforms of 2017 with three Ivy League schools ...

Columbia (8-2 overall, 5-2 Ivy League, best record in 21 years). In addition to showing that coach Al Bagnoli can raise the dead, Columbia continued to phase out the black uniforms, ditching the pants entirely and wearing the jerseys but once. Now it's time to complete the process, guys and return to the classic light blue shirts!

One other note: the Bill Campbell No. 67 memorial patch from 2016 remained. 

Other Lions unis that'll make you roar: 2015-16, 2014, 2013, 2003-05, 1996, 1984, 1983, 1978-82, 1974-76, 1971-73, 1970, 1965-67, 1961, 1955-56, 1952-54, 1941-45.

Cornell (3-7 overall, 3-4 Ivy League) wore a Frankenstein uniform this year. The Big Red tweaked their helmets (again), changed their red pants and added a new red jersey that's reminiscent of the 1980s jersey. I don't care for the white "sleeves," however; they should have stuck with the red versions with the two white stripes. As we'll see later on, Penn used ht e exact same pattern on its new home jerseys. The white jerseys and pants from 2016 remained. 

Can't get enough from the Big Red? Check out these uniforms: 2016, 2015, 2013-14, 1999-2001, 1994, 1985-89, 1987, 1983-84, 1977-82, 1967-75,  1966, 1965, 1961-64, 1952, 1950-51, 1931-35. Rivalry week: Cornell-Penn. Inside the Jersey: 1977-79. 

Dartmouth (8-3 overall, 5-2 Ivy League) wore "only" six combinations after wearing nine each of the last two seasons. Best of all, the traditional white helmet-green jersey-white pants combo was worn three times after it was used only once each of the last two seasons. Also note the Big Green's sense of continuity -- the helmet and pants were same color for every game, giving each combo a clean, streamlined look. Nice touch. My suggestion for 2018: Ditch the black combo and add green helmets and pants if Dartmouth feels the need to play mix 'n match.

Some other unis from the Green Machine: 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2005-06, 2003-04, 1978-86, 1970, 1957-61, 1955-56, 1951-54, 1946-47, 1944, 1936-38, 1929. Rivalry week: Dartmouth-Princeton. Inside the jersey: 1999-2002.
