9.Kansas State Wildcats

Kansas State like a lot of teams could have a great uniform. But then they try and get fancy with it. First I really like the K-State on the front of the jersey. A lot of people call them that and to embrace it and put it on the jersey looks really nice.

I like the font of the numbers and the letters and it is a good size for the jersey. I also like the color around the collar and just like some others, they should do it around the sleeve also, but again not a deal breaker.

The shorts start to look good with the colored waistline and the Wildcats logo on the side of the shorts, but then you turn around and oh my what did they do there. It looks like they dipped the bottom of their shorts in paint but just the back side. It isn’t even a straight stripe. If they would have done that it would have even looked as bad. I honestly can’t believe anyway designed that and then looked at it on the actual uniform and thought it looked good. It is just such a bad look that I can’t even do it justice by criticizing it.

Then you look back up at what appeared to be a great looking jersey and notice that they have shoulder stripes. Please stop with the shoulder stripes. Nike, Adidas, Under Armour or whoever else thinks that is a good look, just stop. You can make great looking uniforms and have without that stripe.

Unfortunately, the Wildcats are the victim of the stripe and someone who doesn’t know how to design pants, because somehow the rest of the uniform looks great.
