Our look at the uniforms of 2019 continues with four CAA teams. The eight Ivy League schools were reviewed here.
Delaware (5-7 overall, 3-5 CAA, tied for ninth) keep the exact same look from last year, right down to the exact same combinations. The only difference was the addition of the College Football 150 patch, worn by all four teams profiled here.
Maine (6-6, 4-4, tied for fifth) took a tumble after 2018's dream season, when the Black Bears destroyed UNH, beat an FBS team, won the CAA outright and reached the FCS final four. This year, it was return to the usual .500 or so season capped with a loss to UNH. Maine kept last year's terrific uniform and, for one game, wore the classic winged helmet of yore. (Read more about the greatest helmet ever here, here and here.) Maine joined Penn and Princeton in adding throwback elements for college football's 150th birthday season.
New Hampshire (6-5, 5-3, tied for third) climbed back above .500 after 2018's disaster ended the Wildcats' 14-year NCAA FCS tournament run with a thud, but failed to return to the tourney this year. The one difference from last year's uniform was a change in the blue alternate helmet, which changed to a Wildcat mascot head on each side after having a throwback logo on one side and a number on the other. The blue lid ended up seeing more playing time than the traditional sliver versions -- I have blue appearing in seven games to silver's four.
Rhode Island (2-10, 0-8, 12th and dead last) achieved a dubious distinction on the field, when the Rams had more HERO FCS All-Americans (three) than wins (two). Rhody modified its light blue and white jerseys while keeping the navy shirts from last year. The Rams trotted out four different sets of pants, including those gray camo pants that just won't go away.
