I can't argue with the list but I'll add this. What the frick do they mean by iconic? I know pretty much every Div I schools jersey. I guess they're all iconic by my definition. Now if you're going based on staying the same then I disagree with that list.

Florida State and Miami have much more iconic uniforms than Florida.

I agree that UF's uniforms haven't been as consistent over the years, we pretty much didn't stick to a style until '79 onward, however I would consider them 'iconic'. They are certainly among the most easily recognizable in college football.

Florida State and Miami's are more recognizable, IMO.

Too many uniforms/combos to be "iconic"

I guess you have to have a distinctive look, largely unchanged over the years, that a lot of people would know. Something that if copied, you might mistake for the "real thing"-
What do you see?

It's Joe Flacco at Delaware

I'm not sure why Florida St is left out; very distinctive helmets, basically the same unis over the years, and a prominent program from at least the early 80's on. Maybe they haven't been "good" long enough, or maybe the helmet fades away too easily from the stands/TV pics, and you just have a team in gold and white/garnet. Or maybe if you mute it and don't hear the Seminole chant, they become more obscure.
But I'd be able to pick them out pretty quickly.
Auburn's is interesting to me; in my case, I recognize them quickly, but for some reason they just don't draw my eye. It's not a matter of favoritism, I don't know if the color scheme is faded or what... but even when I'm rooting for them (it does happen), they're usually the 2nd team I notice. Same thing with Ole Miss, while LSU or Georgia jump out at me.
I think Penn St has that issue too, but their look is SO minimalist that it becomes works in the other direction.

I can't tell you what UF's "normal" home and away unis are. White helmet? Orange helmet? No clue.

When I think of UW, I see the 4th uni- gold helmets and pants, purple jerseys. Might recognize the 2nd- gold helmets, purple clothing. The rest- I'd need to see it listed to know who they are

If I was just channel surfing, Illinois would definitely fool me for a couple seconds.
