Michigan Basketball: Wolverines lead the way in Big Ten uniform rankings

A couple of years ago Rutgers uniforms were a complete and utter mess. They had black stripes on the shoulders and everything just looked bad. They decided to make an adjustment and it is better, but still not great.

So instead of making a good uniform they basically went with the blandest possible look out there. There are no stripes anywhere, literally just a red/white jersey with Rutgers and the number on the chest. The font is fine and it doesn’t look bad, but it lacks any personality.

The pants are even worse. Plain like the jersey but then they put the R on the front. I have never understood putting the logo on the front. Keep it on the side of the pants where it belongs. This is enough to make it a bad set of shorts, but then for whatever reason, they have a black waistband. I get that they use black a lot in their uniforms and that is fine but it doesn’t show up anywhere else on the uniform. Just a weird color choice.

This uniform could be a lot worse, but it just looks like they ran out of time and thought let’s make this as easy as possible. The only reason this is above Penn State’s uniform is because of the stupid one stripe the Nittany Lions have.
