College Basketball: Top 10 Jerseys
February 26th, 2009
by Dan Daitchman
With conference play in the thick of things, it’s time to break up the tension with a different topic, jerseys. Here’s the 10 best college basketball jerseys as I see them. No doubt you have a favorite of your own, so let the debates begin!
10. Oregon – Nike founder and Oregon alum Phil Knight pours tons of money into the school, so it’s only fitting that he has slick high-tech jerseys made for his alma mater.
9. Indiana – The Hoosiers have one of the best classic-looking jerseys out there, and that’s about all they have going for them right now. On a side note, their warm-ups with the candy-stripe pants aren’t too shabby, but a lot of people disagree about that.
8. Michigan State home jersey – There’s only one school who can put the word “State” alone on a uniform and get away with it, and it’s none other than Michigan State.
7. Oklahoma State black jerseys – Like Duke, these black jerseys are pretty slick too.
6. Kansas red jerseys – Arizona’s red jerseys would be in this spot if it didn’t hurt to look at them.
5. Florida– Florida dominates in just about every sport these days, so it’s only fitting they put the time and effort into cool-looking jerseys.
4. MU home gold jerseys – I’ve always been a fan of teams that wear non-white colors at home. At first I disliked the stripes on the sides, but they’ve grown on me over time.
3. Duke black jerseys – Of the teams that sport the black jerseys, these look the coolest in my mind.
2. Kentucky– Kentucky blue is one of the more well-known colors in college basketball. You’ll see a lot of this color in the seats during the SEC tournament.
1. UNC– Go to any pickup basketball game and you’re almost guaranteed to see someone with powder blue attire.
Agree? Disagree? Post some of your favorite jerseys in the comments section below!

Good list...

I'd add Michigan's Yellow Uni to the list too, always brings back Fab Five memories. Just looks cool.
Also maybe add UCLA's Blue Jersey with Gold Letters. Classic and very classy looking.

I have plenty of that in my closet, that's for sure (lol)

Low rent teams like Duke & Florida add black jerseys to sell more merchandise and dupe anti-traditionalists like Dan The Man...

Whoever said the U-M home yellow jersey should be on this list is clueless. By the way, the Fab Five were only a figment of your imagination, since all of their records have been expunged... kind of like SMU football in the '90's.

I like the classic look of Indiana, it still speaks volumes even though they suck right now.
I also like the Florida styling.
Illinois

Dude, the Illini orange jerseys are Top 5. Michigan State's green jerseys are better than their whites. The "State" script is awesome, whether you like them or not. How about UCLA's blues? You mentioned Arizona. I like both their reds and blues.
Top 5 may be pushing it, but

Top 5 may be pushing it, but they're definitely up there. If not top 10, top 15.
UCLA
Submitted by Dan Daitchman on Sun, 2009-03-01 18:56.
Yeah, their blue jerseys with the gold lettering are pretty solid too. Might be interchangeable with one or two of the jerseys in the list.
Why not Syracuse???

Jersey's
Looking at that Tarhole jersey will make your tung crap in your mouth. I can't imagine actually wearing one.
