The Yellow Jackets have a very underrated and solid uniform. They keep it simple and it works. NC State could take a page from their book when it comes to the sleeve and collar stripe. This is how you do a double stripe for all of them and make it look good.

The only thing that might be a little bit better look is if they put Georgia on top of the number and Tech under it. I think just having Tech on the jersey is not bad, but with having Virginia Tech also in your conference it takes a little bit of the uniqueness away from using Tech. Even though I would use the whole name it still looks good. It is a simple font and having a different color is a good mix. I still might have kept them the same color but it is not a bad look.

The shorts look great also as they kept it simple with the double stripe on the bottom and the GT logo on the bottom of both sides. The only complaint from me is that they stopped the stripe for just a little bit on the inside of the leg. I am not sure the point of that and it would look so much better going all the way around.

Overall this is a great looking uniform but not quite enough to get it into the top five. I like simple and this definitely has that. A few tweaks would make it look even better and in turn, help them climb up the list.
