Indiana Basketball: Top 5 Basketball Uniforms in the Big Ten

#5 Rutgers

Perhaps a surprise to some, Rutgers has some excellent uniforms. They are simple yet elegant. The lettering on these jerseys is what makes them so likable. The medieval esque font on the numbers and letters is so perfect. It gives off vibes that associate it with the school’s nickname, but it doesn’t cross the line by looking too ancient. It somehow manages to look both medieval and modern at the same time.

The uniforms used to have a simple black shoulder stripe, but they abandoned it for a look with no stripes whatsoever. The only feature on the jersey is the Rutgers “R” on the shorts. It’s a clean look, but it could have used something a little extra. Some sleeve or shoulder outlines could have been a nice accent. Perhaps a subtle waistband line would have been nice. Their previous iteration of uniforms had these touches but they chose to abandon them altogether.

The knock on these uniforms is their lack of anything that makes them stand out (aside from the font). They are a solid “B” jersey but need something more to take them to that “A” level. Still, Rutgers has the foundations of a very nice jersey, which is better than a lot of teams can say.
