At this point, the emotions that one feels on observing Maryland's football uniforms come very close to ennui.

The high-topped cleats are an interesting touch. Sort of puts us in mind of the apparel donned by the New York Football Giants (as they were then known) in the 1934 NFL Championship Game, aka The Sneaker Game. Thankfully, the weather forecast for Saturday in College Park doesn't call for conditions to be quite so extreme.

Cue the wags saying that Maryland's black uniforms are a gesture of mourning for their fallen quarterbacks now.
