The Rest of College Football

A team like Georgia is rich in tradition, im I correct? The destruction of their uniform is the first team (?) (tosu) that I didn't think needed a gimmick uniform for attention. Maryland on the other hand while watching, I couldn't remember what their old uniforms even looked like.

I was going to say that I find it difficult to believe that Spartan fans would actually like those uniforms ...

.... but then, I remembered they are Spartan fans ....

Bronze Age Civilizations

Spartan Bronze Helmet (London Museum) , most weigh a ton.
