Big 12 Basketball: Oklahoma and Oklahoma State among best uniforms

1. Oklahoma Sooners

Kansas should be in this spot, maybe even Texas if they would just stick with the basics, but instead, the Sooners grab the top spot for having a great clean looking uniform. The only thing that almost kept them from the top spot was the BFBS (black for black sake, uni-watch acronym) uniform they wore against Texas in January (see Texas slide).

Their red and white uniforms both look the same except for the colors being switched and it is a great look. The whole uniform is clean and simple. But don’t let the simplicity fool you, it is a great uniform.

Starting with the jersey they do about everything they need to do to make it a great look. Oklahoma across the chest is just about the right size for it to fit, but not feel cramped. The number is bigger and a normal font but looks great also. They have the collar and sleeves outlined in the opposite color which makes it pop and then has two stripes down the side that match up with the shorts.

The shorts continue the two stripes down the side and then cross over at the bottom to wrap around the leg. Too often teams have jerseys and shorts that don’t seem to fit together, but not with this one. It makes it look uniform which what the whole thing should be all about. They do add the iconic OU logo on the front right leg and while I’d rather it be on the side this one actually looks like it belongs there.

Overall this is a great looking uniform and without a doubt the best in the conference. Kansas and Texas have the classic looks that could be better, but they just messed around too much. The Sooners rule the Big 12 when it comes to uniforms.
