Time to present three more uniforms from 2018, with another heavy dose of the Ivy League.
Dartmouth (9-1 overall, 6-1 Ivy) had a bittersweet season: The Big Green had a record that would win the Ivy League most years (hey, it even beat Harvard for the first time since 2003!), but a loss at undefeated and eventual Ancient Eight champ Princeton forced Dartmouth to settle for second. If the Ivies participated in the NCAA FCS tourney, the Greenies almost certainly would have received an at-large bid.
After four seasons of shuffling between white, gray and black helmets, Dartmouth ditched the alternate lids and returned to one white helmet (yay!). The green home jerseys and white road models were slightly altered, as were the white pants. The older black jerseys, black pants and green pants struck around. 'Tis nice to see Dartmouth steer toward the basics.
Some other unis from the Green Machine: 2017, 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.
Delaware (7-5 overall, 5-3 CAA), on the other hand, did NOT return to the basics. After 67 consecutive years of the same basic uniform (blue or white shirts, yellow pants), the Blue Hens shook things up and added blue and white pants to the ensemble, and wore five different combinations after decades of the usual two. The jerseys were altered a bit, with swooping stripes added to the sleeves and slightly thinner numbers. I don't mind the white pants (the all-white road uniform recalls Michigan's look in the Harbaugh era), but I could go without the blue versions. Of course, they are the BLUE Hens ...
There's more from the Delaware hen house: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2011-14, 2004-06, 1997-2003, 1989-92, 1980-88, 1975-79; 1973-74, 1972, 1965, 1967-71, 1950.
Harvard (6-4 overall, 4-3 Ivy) rotated between various combos of crimson, black and tan for the fourth consecutive year. The crimson pants don't do much for me, but I'm glad the Crimson stayed traditional and kept the tan pants for The Game against Yale. A set of white pants at home would make for a sharp uniform, but Harvard probably has enough combos as it is. I don't think the black jerseys are going anywhere, seeing as so many other Harvard teams don the color.
Other Harvard unis you may have missed: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2012-14; 2008-11; 1980-83; 1975-79; 1972-73; 1972, 1967-70, 1962-63, 1950-52, 1948-49, 1937-46. Rivalry Week: Harvard-Yale.
