          Homecoming season has arrived on college campuses, and that can only mean one thing as it relates to uniforms: throwbacks. In an era when equipment managers have been tasked with designing new and flashy unis, throwbacks provide a welcome respite.

          So come on back to a simpler time, browse Saturday's throwbacks and cast your vote below for your favorite.

          Miami will honor its 1991 national championship team with a look it's calling "Legend of the U" as the Hurricanes try to break a six-game losing streak against rival Florida State (8 p.m. ET, ABC). The Canes will roll out the white alternate when they travel to Virginia Tech in two weeks.

          The wait is over for Pitt fans as the Panthers announced this combination, which uses the school's former color scheme, in August. Pitt hosts Georgia Tech.

          NC State’s Carter-Finley Stadium turns 50 this year, and the Wolfpack will face Notre Dame (noon ET, ABC) a uniform that features the diamond logo they used from 1986 to 2000.

          Similarly, Utah will reintroduce its "interlocking U" logo against Arizona with a throwback combo that it debuted last season.

          Oregon will wear a uni it's calling "Webfoots" that was previewed in the Ducks' spring game. Oregon's teams were known as "Webfoots" until the late 70s. The lyrics to the fight song appear on the shoulders while the state flag appears on the helmet.
