5. Texas Tech Red Raiders

The National Runner-Up has some good uniforms but not great. They would be great with one minor adjustment that we will get to in a minute.

First, let’s start with the jersey. I like the font of the letters and numbers, it’s simple but works. Having the lettering outlined in black makes the numbers pop just a little bit more that really makes it look nice. Having Texas Tech above the numbers could get jumbled, but the font is small enough that it makes it work. It could look better if they would split it up around the number.

The jersey would look great but then they had to do the collar in two tones. It would look great if they would do it with just white or black, but for whatever reason, they decided to use both colors and it does not work. They probably did it because they used the same type of stripes on the shorts, but there it doesn’t look bad. On the collar it just makes it look like a mess.

The shorts stipes work because of the way they are placed and it is a bigger stripe. I am not saying I love the different colored stripes but it looks better than the collar. Besides that, it is a great look set of shorts. I like that they have the Texas Tech logo on the side of their shorts. The only things that seem a little off is that is about middle of the way because of the two stripes at the bottom. If they took away one of the stripes it could sit lower and look better.

Overall it is not a bad looking uniform, they just need to make the collar one color. Do that and they could jump up this list as they did during the tournament.
