ACC Football Rx: ACC's Best / Worst Jerseys (accfootballrx.com; HM)

...
7. Syracuse (Grey)
Usually, when one thinks of the Syracuse Orange, they think one of two things: basketball or the orange helmets with the white “S” on them. However, Syracuse has jumped on board (and been on for a few years) with the rest of the nation. The Orange have scrapped their traditional uniforms in favor of more stylish, up-to-speed jerseys by Nike. The three Syracuse jerseys and the seemingly endless uniform combinations are all very good-looking. However, it’s the grey alternates that take the cake when it comes to the best.

The grey Syracuse uniforms have a unique style to them. Whereas many teams base their uniforms around their school’s main color, Syracuse does the opposite. And instead of going with a white or black neutral jersey, the Orange go with a grey instead. By doing so, the jerseys take on a darker shade, which gives Nike room to play with Syracuse football’s unofficial secondary color, navy.

The grey jersey features a majority navy, with all lettering and numbering being done in the dark blue shade. Further, the navy blue lines on the shoulder and arm give the jersey a fading look on the side, a pattern unseen throughout the rest of the list. As opposed to using the typical Syracuse orange color, it seems as if Nike went with a neon-tinted orange for these alternate uniforms. The neon orange pops and stands out above the rest of the colors, which are fairly dark. For this reason, the numbering and conference logo is outlined in the neon color. The alternate logo at the center of the collar is also painted in neon orange.

At first glance, these uniforms do not look like they’d belong to Syracuse. However, I’m sure the Orange are glad to have them as they are some of the coolest uniforms in the country.

Get ready to rock, Central New York.

The package includes admission to the following shows:

  • July 21: K-Rockathon (Day 1): Avenged Sevenfold and Rise Against
  • July 22: K-Rockathon (Day 2): Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson
  • Aug. 4: Slayer with Lamb of God, Anthrax, Testament and Napalm Death
  • Aug. 22: Breaking Benjamin and Five Finger Death Punch with Nothing More and Bad Wolves
  • Aug. 29: Godsmack and Shinedown with Red Sun Rising
The "Ticket to Rock" is available for a limited time only, while supplies last, at LiveNation.com. The package includes admission to all five rock shows; prices for each concert's standard tickets individually currently range from $25 to $99.50, plus fees.

Currently there are 26 concerts scheduled at the amphitheater, previously known as the Lakeview Amphitheater. The venue was renamed earlier this year when St. Joseph's Health bought the naming rights for $1.5 million.

From the CBS article:
Potential dominance -- the Atlantic Division:
Not only is Clemson's status as a heavy favorite a bit jarring on first glance, but there's also the fact that six of the top eight teams listed are from the Atlantic Division. So the oddsmakers believe that Clemson not only is much, much better than the rest of the entire conference, but that the balance of power favors more than half of the division against an undetermined Costal Division foe. Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh, Virginia and Duke are all given the same odds as the last Atlantic Division team listed (Boston College), with North Carolina listed last. Oddsmakers think it's not only Atlantic over Costal, but in the Coastal it's Miami, Virginia Tech and everyone else.

Based on this, the writer doesn't know we and Wake are in the Atlantic Division? Ultimately this is a mistake and they meant us, but that's what proof reading is for.
