10. Chicago Bears (NFL)

The history behind the Bears uniforms is wicked interesting. The team founder, George Halas, borrowed the navy blue and orange from his alma mater, University of Illinois. The jerseys have stayed the same ever since, and they have been worn for around 95 years, including one Super Bowl victory.

9. Green Bay Packers (NFL)

Haha, this is ironic because the Packers and Bears are rivals, but anyways. The green and gold have been the staple of success and consistency from Bart Starr to Brett Farve to now Aaron Rodgers.

8. New England Patriots (NFL)

Okay, the Patriots were the laughing stock of the NFL up until the Tom Brady era in the early 2000's. But, since 2000, the classic red, white and blue has won four Super Bowls and been home to 10 AFC Championship games (probably 11 in two weeks).

7. Chicago Cubs (MLB)

The most beloved losers? No more! The classic pinstripes with the red C inside a blue circle is so iconic. Those jerseys have seen some serious tears. Tears of sadness, and, of course, joy.

6. Boston Celtics (NBA)

Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Bob Cousey, John Havlicek, Paul Pierce... 17 NBA Championships! There is no way that 'greatness' is not the first thing you think of when you see the green and white.

5. Boston Red Sox (MLB)

This uniform may be my personal favorite. The simplicity of just a white jersey with the red lettering really is so iconic. From players like Ted Williams and Jim Rice to the new star of Mookie Betts and the beloved David 'Big Papi' Ortiz. That uniform will always be known.

4. Detroit Red Wings (NHL)

The Red Wings adopted their name in 1932 along with the logo of wings attached to a tire. The red jersey with white trim is known all around the world. The simplicity along with the cultural history is really what makes this jersey crack the top five.

3. Oakland Raiders (NFL)

The silver and black! The Raiders uniforms really were part of the west-cost culture. Rap groups like NWA all wore Raider gear because, well, it was intimidating. Nevertheless, the uniforms have never changed, anytime you see the black jersey with silver lettering, you know what it is.

2. Dallas Cowboys (NFL)

I do not know how to explain this one. Just, the white and blue is so simple and basic, but the star is what makes them stand out. The star on the helmet signifies the art of winning.

1. New York Yankees (MLB)

Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Derek Jetter... Come on. The pinstripe at number one is a no-brainer. 27 World Series and 40 AL Pennants... Geez, that uniform has seen a lot!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
