Brown (2018), Columbia (2018), Cornell (2018)

Time to get some of these 2018 uniforms out of the way, starting with a trio of Ivy League schools. I'll bypass teams that are still playing (Boston College, Maine) for now, and will likely save the NEC guys for the end.

Brown (1-9 overall, 0-7 Ivy, second straight winless Ivy season) crashed and burned in Phil Estes' final season as coach. The Bears kept the same uniforms as last year, with the exception of the "JM" patch, which was removed. 

More unis from the sons of Bruno: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012-13, 2004-08, 2001-03, 1997-2000, 1984-89, 1981-83, 1978, 1975-77, 1973-74, 1972, 1967-71, 1959-65, 1957-58, 1951-56, 1914.

Columbia (6-4 overall, 3-4 Ivy) achieved back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1961-62. As I mentioned last year, Al Bagnoli can, indeed, raise the dead. Considering how ashamed the New York Times was at Columbia's turnaround last year, those folks must be foaming at the mouth now. 

But back to the uniforms. The Lions wore four different jerseys this season ... and none of them were Columbia blue -- which is, y'know, only their primary color. In addition to navy, black and white tops, a gray jersey was added to mix this year. The numbers, oddly enough, were done in a traditional font while everything else was rendered in the style of the other three jerseys. For the third straight season, the Bill Campbell No. 67 memorial patch from 2016 was worn, even on the new gray shirts.

Other Lions unis that'll make you roar: 2017, 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, 2-5 Ivy) is our first recipient of a KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Award for using only two styles -- home and road, with no alternates, no mixing and matching, nothing else. The red pants from 2017 were ditched after one season, and a new set of white pants debuted, without the "CORNELL" up the side. The home and road jerseys from last year remained. The roads STILL have that NCAA/Ivy League patch that everyone else ditched at about the turn of the decade. A few more years, and it'll qualify as a throwback jersey. 

Can't get enough from the Big Red? Check out these uniforms: 2017, 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.
