Big Ten Basketball: Indiana, Michigan, and Iowa top uniforms in league

Rutgers uniforms are a mess. It is almost like they are trying to be too cool with them and they completely miss the boat. The red and black combo is a good look, but they could be doing so much more with it. The lettering and number font looks just fine and the black stripe at the bottom of the shorts doesn’t look horrible although it might be better if it wasn’t so wide. That is where good things end for this uniform.

Now we get to the bad. First off, what are they doing on the shoulders? The colored stripe and in some cases having two colors just looks bad. Not sure what they are trying to do there but it just does not look like it belongs. Throw in two colors and it makes it look even worse.

The other part that looks bad is the way the collar crosses that makes it look like they are wearing a sweater. It looks more like something you would see in an interview outfit and not a uniform. It looks like they were trying to make this uniform stand out but it just misses the mark.

They would get bonus points and climb up the list if they wore their throwback uniform they wore at home against Michigan on February 5th all the time. That uniform was great, plus it allowed us to watch a color vs color game which is always a plus in my eyes. Memo to Rutgers, make that your everyday uniform.
