Big Ten Basketball: Indiana, Michigan, and Iowa top uniforms in league
By Adam Childs
There is a lot to like about Purdue’s uniforms. They have a great color combination in the gold (not quite real gold) and black. I really like the shape of Purdue on their chest that is supposed to resemble the front of a train. It is a neat touch and looks good on the front of the jersey. The collar brings a nice pop of color and so does the design on the side of the shorts.
The problem is the design just looks bad. Why do they have it separated and it does not line up? Again it looks like they were trying to be fancy with their shorts and I think it misses the mark. I am also impartial to the design going all the way up on the jerseys also and it doesn’t
The other thing this uniform is plagued with is the random stripe on the top of the shoulder. It is just a black stripe or gold on the black jersey. What is the point of that stripe except to just make a mark? I am not sure what they are trying to do with it but it just doesn’t work. They would be better off just leaving is the same color all the way through the jersey.
The throwback they like to wear also is just a mess with the striping coming around the uniform. I know fans like it, but that seems to more tied with the Glenn Robinson days than the actual jersey. They could do a lot better with this uniform and it has potential. Just fix a few things and this could be one of the best looking ones in the conference.
