Wisconsin's throwback uniforms are getting destroyed on social media
Wisconsin’s special throwback uniforms seemed like a good concept, but the execution has not been very well received.
For Saturday’s game against Northwestern, both teams are rocking throwbacks inspired by past history at the school. For the most part, the white top and purple pants combination of the Wildcats looks solid. Unfortunately, Wisconsin’s look has come across as a miss.

One of the big issues is that the Badgers decided to roll with a tan/brown color pants to go with their red uniforms. The idea was to make it look like the old-school football pants, but it comes across as a thoroughly awkward look.
It also looks like pretty much everyone on social media is not a fan. Here are a few of the responses:
There's just no way to make light brown football pants look good.

I turned over to the Wisconsin game. Did someone lose their uniforms? Haha. Looks like they're wearing sweats and per wee league helmets.

Maybe we should put our regular uniforms on at halftime so we stop playing like old Badger teams? #Badgers
