10. Kentucky Wildcats

The Kentucky Wildcats are one of the legendary programs and most iconic brands in college basketball. Kentucky’s uniforms don’t do anything to take attention away from the iconic logo and brand with their traditional home whites with the checkerboard on the side. The away blues are also a nice inclusion to Kentucky’s core uniforms.

9. Syracuse Orange

The bright orange and navy color palette of the Syracuse Orange can draw mixed reviews among college sports fans as it pertains to their uniforms. But Syracuse does a nice job of incorporating the instantly-recognizable bright orange color with well-executed designs that draw attention to the brand.

Syracuse gets bonus points on this list for making the most of a bright colorway in a way that seamlessly connects the uniforms to the brand in a unique way.

8. Marquette Golden Eagles

Another commonly underrated program in terms of the current uniforms is the Marquette Golden Eagles. Marquette is a unique part of the Jordan Brand, as it has one of the more colorful palettes and diverse sets of alternative uniforms of any program they sponsor.

Marquette gold and navy uniforms are some of its best, featuring navy numbers and alternating blues checker patterns down the side.

7. Michigan Wolverines

The Michigan Wolverines have some of the sharpest uniforms you’ll ever see in college hoops from the Jordan Brand. The consistency, organization, and recognizability of Michigan’s white and maize uniforms are incredible.

Michigan is known for the simple lettering, subtle but clean accents, and block M logo on its uniforms. These uniforms are fantastic because they don’t do too much to draw attention away from the brand and tradition, but the attention to detail and cleanliness are nearly done to perfection.
