USA TODAY Names 'Worst' Road Uniform In The NFL

The 2025 NFL season is just weeks away and everyone is coming up with rankings and predictions for the coming season. So where do the NFL teams rank in terms of their road uniforms?

USA Today's Christian D'Andrea did a ranking of the 32 road uniforms, ranking them from worst to best. While D'Andrea was more than happy to rank the Buffalo Bills' classic white helmet, white jerseys and blue pants as the best, the worst road uniform in the league went to the last year's worst team.

The Tennessee Titan's blue helmet, white jerseys and blue pants combination came in last place, with D'Andrea apparently taking issue with the uniform looking "bland."

"The two-tone shoulder panels are an improvement over the old yokes the team wore early in its Nashville days. Still, rolling with the old Oilers uniforms on an annual basis only shines a spotlight on how bland these unis are."

But while the Titans may have been the worst in D'Andrea's opinion, they weren't the only one that got a very negative review from him. He clearly doesn't think very highly of the AFC South's uniforms in general, as two others from the division finished in the bottom 10.

Of the Jacksonville Jaguars, ranked 31st, he wrote, "Behold, the NFL's most generic away uniforms."

D'Andrea then accused the Washington Commanders' away uniform of feeling "like it was plucked from a template."

As for the Atlanta Falcons, he clearly wasn't a fan of their "big, clunky numbers."

"The big, clunky numbers and red drop shadows feel a little more like a high school redesign than a kit from one of the NFL's best dressed teams. Again, I say bring back the red helmets full time," he wrote.

Further offering evidence that D'Andrea hates the AFC South in particular, was this scathing review of the No. 28 Houston Texans.

"The contrast of Houston's road whites make this a cleaner kit than their home uniforms -- we'll tackle the H-Town variants somewhere down the line, but hooo buddy. The tapered bull horn shoulder stripe feels tacky in theory but looks good in execution."

Jeez.
