Uniforms haven’t always been a hot item for the CSU football team.

Outside of the classic green helmets with gold horns, Colorado State University’s uniforms were pretty basic under the school’s contract with Russell Athletic. That became a point of contention considering schools such as Oregon, Air Force and even Wyoming started using a variety of looks to help market their programs.

That’s no longer the case for CSU, which switched to UnderArmour in 2013. The Rams have worn green, white, gray and orange jerseys this year with a variety of pant combinations. That made me wonder: How successful is CSU on the field based on its uniform?

I’ve gone back and looked at photos of games from the past 10 seasons and broken down CSU’s record by jersey/pant color combination. It may come as no surprise, but with six victories in seven games, the orange-on-white combination gives the Rams their best winning percentage at .857.

The following table breaks down everything in detail. This chart will be updated throughout the remainder of the 2016 season.

Note that alternate orange was worn for the 2014 Las Vegas Bowl and alternate green is designated for the throwback uniforms CSU wore vs. Cal at Hughes Stadium in 2007.
