College football teams continue to get more creative -- some for the better, ?some for the worse -- with their uniforms. The first half of the 2016 season saw Oregon bring its mascot to life, a handful of throwbacks?and much more. Which new threads stood out above the rest?Pittsburgh Panthers?-- throwbacks in Week 6 win over Georgia TechThe reaction to Pitts throwbacks, which looked something like the threads Tony Dorsett wore in the mid-1970s (as well as a certain fictional team of Panthers), was so positive, it left many wondering why the Panthers dont switch to the look full time.Oregon Ducks?-- Once a Duck in Week 4 loss to ColoradoIts not often that a uniform combination makes spectators laugh audibly after turning on a game, but thats the reaction most people had when the Ducks sported orange face masks and footwear to model their web-footed mascot. Very few Oregon fans were laughing after their team lost at home.?Louisville Cardinals?-- chrome red helmets in win over Florida StateThe Cardinals debuted the sharp new helmets in their dismantling of Florida State and stuck with them until they lost at Clemson. Last weeks win over Duke came in an all-black combo, so where does Louisville go from here?LSU Tigers?-- Gridiron Gold in win over Mississippi StateRarely does a traditional team like LSU switch things up, but the Tigers did it by calling on their history with gold uniforms that look similar to the unis they wore in the 1940s, complete with the old-school Sailor Mike logo. LSU showed that blue-blood programs can wear alternates without getting too crazy.?Texas A&M Aggies?-- Junction Made in Week 5 win over South CarolinaSometimes simplicity is a positive for uniforms, and that was the case for the Aggies when they wore a throwback look that was inspired by Paul Bear Bryants days leading the program in the 1950s. Adidas took its time and paid attention to every detail.?Virginia Tech Hokies?-- Hokie Stone in Week 2 loss to TennesseeRadical alternate uniforms can look better on paper than in practice, and that was the case with Virginia Techs gray/black combo in the Battle at Bristol. The gray didnt exactly jump off the screen, but it was nice to see the Hokies take a chance on a huge stage.TCU Horned Frogs?-- Liquid Steel in loss to OklahomaIf your team is going to wear black, as several teams have lately, its better to go all the way, and thats what TCU did by introducing a new Liquid Steel helmet with an oversize Frog logo on either side.?Indiana Hoosiers?-- Candy Stripe in Week 7 loss to NebraskaThe candy-stripe pattern has more often been associated with Indianas basketball program and its signature warm-up pants. The Hoosiers deserve credit for bringing the look to the football field, but they may not have gone far enough with just the shoulder striping. Why not go all-out and extend it to the pants?Miami Hurricanes?-- Legend of the U in Week 6 loss to Florida StateMiami would like to be restored to the place in the championship conversation it held in the 1980s, so perhaps the throwback uniforms were wishful thinking.?Air Force Falcons?-- Shark Teeth in Week 2 win over Georgia StateIt goes without saying that slapping a shark on your helmet is going to get some attention, especially when it pays respect to the Air Forces aircraft. The only problem? The Falcons wore the helmets against Georgia State in front of fewer than 25,000 fans. Cheap Under Armour Authentic .

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Stan Kroenke had dreamed of turning over this particular ceremonial shovelful of dirt ever since his first pre-dawn glimpse of this corner of Inglewood several years ago.The real estate tycoon relished the thought of filling the largest block of contiguous unused land in the Los Angeles area with a lavish, career-defining stadium for his Rams. Under a brilliant Southern California sun Thursday, the team owner officially broke ground on the project with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts at his side.This was so impressive, Kroenke said, recalling his initial late-night clandestine visit to the site. Honestly, I couldnt believe it existed. From my perspective, this should not exist. From our perspective at the NFL, (the situation) probably shouldnt have existed, either. There should not have been a market like the greater Los Angeles area with no NFL team. But both of them existed, and we were very excited, so we started working.The groundbreaking was merely ceremonial: Work has already begun on the estimated $2.6 billion stadium and surrounding entertainment district on the former site of the Hollywood Park racetrack, next door to the famed Forum.The huge construction site is buzzing with crews working toward the scheduled August 2019 opening. The first stadium to be built specifically for an NFL team in Los Angeles is already booked to host the Super Bowl in February 2021.The 69-year-old Kroenke, a billionaire developer married to a Walmart heiress, clearly sees the project as a centerpiece of his legacy from a career spent building less-glamorous projects around the nation.Its our goal to build the most unique and fan-friendly stadium in the world, Kroenke said. Were going to give you something to be proud of. Were going to build a global destination ... in the entertainment capital of the world. We think people from all over the world will seek this location out.While Kroenke finessed the Rams move back home from St. Louis over the past few years, his building plan eventually grew to the dimensions of a small city. The estimated 80,000-seat stadium will have 275 luxury suites and innumerable amenities, but its only the centerpiece of a 300-acre complex featuring 1.5 million square feet of retail and office space, 2,500 residential units, a smaller performance arena, a hotel and 25 acres of parkland.ddddddddddddThe NFL made several aborted attempts to return to LA during Goodells tenure in the league office, but the plans never gathered momentum until Kroenke presented a sound financial plan to build a stadium complex that could become the West Coast hub for the NFLs operations.We are confident that this is going to be the place to be in 2019 and beyond, Goodell said. Not just for football, but for entertainment, for events, for eating, for living, for working. Thats whats going to come to Inglewood and the Hollywood Park area, and we couldnt be more excited to have the NFL be a part of that.Kroenke has returned the Rams to the market after a 21-year absence, moving them out of his native Missouri and back into LA, where he lives for most of the year. The NFL bought into Kroenkes relocation plan in January largely due to his solid stadium plan, but also required the Rams to prepare for the possibility of an AFC team joining them.The Rams are still waiting to find out whether theyll have roommates in Inglewood. The San Diego Chargers are contemplating their future after their latest failed stadium ballot measure, with a January deadline to announce their plans.Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff said Kroenke speaks to Chargers President Dean Spanos regularly, but the Rams dont know the Chargers intentions.If the Chargers elect to take yet another shot at San Diego, the Oakland Raiders could have the opportunity to return to Los Angeles, where they were based from 1982-94. The Raiders are expected to file for relocation to Las Vegas in January, but the Chargers decision could clear the way for a more lucrative move back to Los Angeles.If they get their issues resolved in San Diego and the issues in Oakland, I think thats an ideal solution, frankly, Goodell said. Thats what we would all like to see have happen. Theres a lot that has to get done in those two communities to get there.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
