Top 10 Best College Baseball Uniforms
College baseball takes a lot of flack for being slow and boring. While that is up to the individual to decide, one thing cannot be argued: college baseball is best watched in style. In fact, it’s best enjoyed in style as well. And with the best uniforms ever worn on a diamond now confining themselves to history books and baseball cards, we can only take solace in the fact that future players will be just as stylish. The best college baseball uniforms are not always just about how it looks but also what is on them. After much deliberation, here are the best college baseball uniforms of all time.
The Best College Baseball Uniforms
1. Arkansas’ cream
With this jersey, Arkansas hit a home run with this jersey by using two recent uniform design trends: cream color and throwbacks. For example, the Ole Miss powder blue has only been on sale for a short time, but it has quickly become a fan favorite. The best part about the cream uniforms is that, when combined with a solid color hat, they allow teams to break away from their school colors.
2. Louisiana State’s “Championship Gold”
There is so much more to the gold jerseys than just being LSU’s uniform tops. They are a tradition in and of themselves! The Tigers have worn these uniforms for series clinchers and championship games since the 1996 team that won the national championship in walk-off fashion. They were also seen in the 1996 national title game, the 2008 team’s 23-game winning streak, and the final game of the 2009 national championship series, which was the Tigers’ last game. This baseball uniform is thought to be one of the best in college baseball history.
3. Oklahoma State’s orange
Oklahoma State’s font and bat logo come in a lot of different colors, but the orange really stands out. When Pete Incaviglia and Robin Ventura played college baseball in Stillwater, they wore this top. Three decades later, it still looks good as a jersey top because it hasn’t changed.
4. Florida’s blue
For baseball jerseys, orange and blue are very strong color combinations. Florida does it very well. With the Gators’ success in these tops, they are quickly becoming one of the most famous jerseys of the modern era. The best part of the jersey is that it is simply a best seller.
5. Washington’s white pinstripe
While Washington has tried out a lot of different looks in recent years, the team has always fielded teams with visually appealing jersey tops. Purple and gold work together to create a unique look, like this pinstripe top. This isn’t a home or a road jersey, but a top that should be worn by the best college baseball players in America.
6. Ohio State’s throwback gray
While road uniforms don’t shine as much as home whites and alternates, Ohio State wore a very good road gray uniform. Like rival Michigan, Ohio State has a well-known color scheme that can really shine on a simple dish like this one.
7. Texas’ white
This is a great example of a traditional look with a modern twist, like the entry for Miami on the list. The white jersey with burnt orange letters is a good look for a program that has a lot of history. However, the Nike swoosh and a new font make it even better.
8. Michigan’s cream
Michigan has a strong overall jersey collection, in part because the maize and blue color scheme is so well-known and well-loved. A big reason they’re so popular is that they have simple jersey tops with no extra things on them. Adding a retro look to the cream jersey makes it look even better.
9. Pittsburgh’s throwback blue
In recent years, Pitt’s sports teams have started to use the colors and fonts from the football team’s best days, which has led to this amazing jersey top. It has royal blue and yellow instead of dark blue and gold, which is the school’s traditional color scheme.
10. Arizona State’s white
There aren’t many fonts on a jersey that are as well-known as “Devils” across the front of an Arizona State jersey. The Sun Devils have tried a lot of different jerseys over the years, but some variation of this top has always been around. There is also good contrast between the white top and the red-lined font.
Final thoughts
The best uniforms in college baseball are not just a matter of aesthetics. There is history and tradition that play into the best tops, as well as comparisons to iconic jerseys from years past. In fact, many college baseball jerseys have been held up as some of the best all-time over the last century.
