I am definitely an uniform traditionalist. I am very biased when I say this, but I think Belfry has one of the best HS Jersey's I have found in the entire country.

There are only a handful of teams that if someone described their uniform with descriptive terms from any time over the past 30 years that you could pinpoint and say exactly... "That's __________" and Belfry is one of those. Highlands and maybe Danville are the only other two I would give that distinction to. Danville loses points for tinkering with the jersey over the past decade... the silver helmet with the state of Kentucky and the Anchor is my GOAT helmet.

The only place where I vary my opinion from yours is I prefer contrasting the pants to the jersey. I love the red jersey white pant (with red stripe) look the most because to me that is the jersey combo I think is synonomous with Belfry (along with a scuffed up helmet full of skull and crossbone stickers).

We had a similar thread last year discussing jerseys and I said that I was a huge fan of the Pikeville vintage look with the white helmets. Loved that Penn State feel and the understated confidence it ensued. When I think of Pikeville football and the height of the program that is what I see. A plain maroon jersey with big block white numbers, a muddy pair of white pants with maroon accent stripes.

I respect the alternate uniform trend and am actually a big fan of the matte black helmets. I like seeing the cool implementations being used, but changing uniforms every year and the crazy helmets and colors that woldn't even be considered secondary are not my cup of tea. Throwing out a digital camo jersey, using chromatic colors...I can dig that as a cool way to mix it up and make it fun for a kids... but some people have to learn that they don't have to try and be the Oregon of HS Football.

4. Corbin
5. Ashland
