It was around this same time a year ago that the Maryland football program unveiled its new uniforms for the 2011 season.  The new design was met with an array of opinions and comments, including one titled “Maryland’s Uniforms Are Ugliest in College Football, Hands Down.” [LarryBrownSports.com]

So, how would Maryland respond to the criticism of its new uniform design?  Well, without totally abandoning the overall concept of the 2011 design, the Terps have a new 2012 uniform that is not quite as obnoxious as its 2011 counterpart.

Here is  a quick shot of the new home (red jersey) and away (white jersey) uniforms as tweeted by @WNST on 6 August 2012.

As for the helmet; while the 2011 helmet was starting to grow on me, I think the new one is better.
