Wyoming’s, Kent State’s Potato Bowl uniforms resembled potatoes, and fans had so many thoughts

College football bowl season means unlikely and exciting matchups, spikes in some players’ NFL Draft stocks and ample Gatorade (or other edible item) baths. It also means fun and wild color schemes that can look awesome or be a total disaster — depending on who you ask.

Enter the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

After Kent State and Wyoming kicked off Tuesday afternoon in Boise, college football fans couldn’t help but notice all the bold colors on the field. While Wyoming wore its brown jerseys and deep yellow pants, Kent State was all golden and in a shade that was very similar to that of the Cowboys pants.

It’s almost like the two teams took the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl name to heart and purposely dressed up like potatoes as much as they could. Couple the uniform combos with Albertsons Stadium’s all-blue field, and there was a lot going on.

As far as the uniforms go, some fans loved the teams’ combined look, some hated it and some loved to hate it — as with pretty much anything in college football.

And, of course, they had so many thoughts. And a lot of jokes.
