Big 12 Basketball: Oklahoma and Oklahoma State among best uniforms
By Adam Childs
8. TCU Horned Frogs
TCU is another team that has so much potential with their uniform. The purple and black look actually looks pretty good on uniforms. The Horned Frog mascot is definitely one of a kind and the addition of it on the shorts is a good look. The font is good on the numbers and letters and I can even get behind the Horned Frogs written on the back side of the left leg. The black waistline on the purple uniforms above is also a nice look.
After that, there is so much wrong with this uniform. First, if you have read my take on the Big Ten and ACC you know I am not a big fan of the stripe on the shoulder. It is unnecessary and it makes the jersey look bad. I don’t get why teams or Nike for that matter think it is a good look. It looks out of place and doesn’t add anything to the uniform.
The next thing that sticks out to me is the poor attempt at a stripe on the side of the jersey. It is like they thought he we need a stripe, but not one that goes all the way down actually lets not even make it go halfway down. It honestly looks like there is a rip in the jersey and it just does not look good. Geometry fans might be happy because it looks like a right triangle but besides that a bad look.
The final thing about the jersey and probably the worst is that is the part that goes over the shoulder looks really skinny and something a five-year-old would wear. It might look better if they would have outlined it with an accent color, but they didn’t and it just looks bad. Overall the jersey is just a mess, but with so much promise especially after doing a pretty good job on the shorts. If it weren’t Baylor and their radioactive uniforms and Kansas State and their ridiculous excuse for a pant stripe these would be the worst in the conference.
