6. Indiana Hoosiers

The Indiana Hoosiers are another college hoops brand that you don’t need to do too much with. Indiana’s iconic home white and away red uniforms are some of the most impeccable and consistent in college hoops in recent memory.

Indiana hasn’t updated the uniform design much in the last few decades, keeping the infamous “Indiana” lettering atop the number. The IU logo and red stripes on the pants are nice touches to some of the best Adidas sponsored uniforms in college hoops.

5. Kansas Jayhawks

A true blue blood in college hoops, the Kansas Jayhawks are one of the country’s most recognizable and valuable programs. The emblematic home white and away blue uniforms are part of the Kansas brand.

In the last decade, Kansas updated the curved “Kansas” lettering atop the accented numbers to be bigger and more basic. It works with the consistent red accent around the blue letters, numbers on the white uniforms, and the blue trim around the jersey and pants. There is a similar design with the blue away uniforms, with a red accent around the white letters and numbers and the red trim on the outside.

4. UCLA Bruins

A clean and effective uniform that needs no major changes or tweaks belongs to the UCLA Bruins. With the simple blue logo, numbers, and font, UCLA’s white uniforms are sharp and straightforward. Meanwhile, UCLA’s iconic road blues have the elegant gold lettering and numbers with white and gold accents on the stripes and stitching.

3. Duke Blue Devils

Among college basketball’s most iconic and recognizable brands and uniforms, the Duke Blue Devils have become well known for their home whites and bold road blues. Duke also has the road black uniforms that serve as a more modern and sleek alternative to their traditional home whites and road blues.

There is a strong case to be made that Duke is Nike’s most iconic sponsored brand in college hoops.
