On ESPN Recruiting Nation on Thursday, colleagues Dave Hooker and Tom VanHaaren are discussing the impact the increasingly jazzed up jerseys in college football have on recruiting.Maryland sent Twitter into a frenzy Monday night with its, um interesting, jersey and helmet combination, and Boise State and Georgia followed Oregon's footsteps by bringing out new jerseys and helmets for their primetime showdown. This week, Michigan will change up its jerseys for its night game against Notre Dame, and, for the first time since the late 1960s, will have player numbers on the famous winged helmets.Not every team is going the route of Oregon and Maryland during college football's fashionista era. In fact, Penn State has even made its jerseys more dull and more plain, eliminating colors and design instead of adding them.The Nittany Lions got rid of the secondary color at the end of the sleeve on its jersey before the start of the season. So now their home and away jerseys showcase just a single color with blue or white numbers depending on the jersey color.Talking with a few Penn State commits and Penn State targets, the consensus was the Lions' jerseys, which would be considered "retro" in today's game, don't hurt the Lions' recruiting efforts, but it doesn't help either.Catholic Memorial (West Roxbury, Mass.) cornerback Armani Reeves said he's a "flashy, crazy" guy so he loves Oregon's colorful uniforms, but Reeves committed to Penn State this summer.Camren Williams, Reeves' teammate at Catholic Memorial and soon-to-be teammate at Penn State, wrote in a text message that he really likes both."I love Penn State's history of the jerseys and obviously Oregon's or Maryland's jersey designs are really cool," read Williams' text message. "So I'd say both."When Penn State was removed from the equation and he had to pick between a plain jersey like Alabama or a jersey such as Oregon's, Williams sided with his teammate Reeves and went with the Ducks.Austintown-Fitch (Youngstown, Ohio) four-star running back William Mahone has the Lions in his final four. He said Maryland's uniforms are cool but the best uniforms are the ones the winning team is wearing.Four-star Jeannette, Pa., safety Demetrious Cox said jersey designs won't matter in his recruitment. He is down to 10 teams with the Lions being one of those 10.All four will be attending Penn State's game against Alabama this weekend, which showcases the two team's with arguably the plainest jerseys in all of college football. A total of three jersey colors -- blue, white and crimson -- will be on display.
