Swag Watch Round Up: South Carolina goes cool white in Stormtrooper unis
Welcome to Swag Watch, a weekly round up of the hottest and lamest looks in U.S. college football. Whether the team changes the entire outfit or just acquires a new face mask, all looks are not created equal.
Hit: South Carolina wears Stormtrooper uniforms vs. Clemson
Results aside, South Carolina killed it in the all-white outfits worn during its 35-17 loss against Clemson on Saturday.
The Gamecocks kept true to themselves by using maroon and black in the uniforms, but the "Star Wars" effect was definitely felt when they hit the field.

Honorable mention: Oregon goes green for senior night
Oregon always makes sure to supply its players with the proper dose of swag when taking the field, and it was no different for the seniors playing in their final game.
The Ducks went with a familiar combination of green and yellow for their final home game of the season, beating Oregon State 47-19 last Saturday. The uniform only gets an honorable mention since it's not a rare look for the team, but it's beautiful nonetheless.

Miss: Colorado's black-and-white uniforms for game vs. Oregon
Colorado's uniforms get the miss this week for being overly simple. The team countered Oregon with a plain black-and-white scheme before losing 44-10.
Having a minimalist look doesn't hurt in most situations, but when the biggest change appears to be a different-colored helmet decal, it's hard to applaud the Buffaloes.
