30 best jerseys in college football

1. North Carolina (Carolina Blue)

In a twist shocking to some, a non-Nike jersey takes the top spot. Instead, the number one spot belongs to a team sponsored by Jordan Brand — Michael Jordan’s own alma mater —  the North Carolina Tar Heels. While many teams on this list have featured green or gold on their uniforms, the Carolina Blue stands alone. It’s a unique color, different than the royal and navy used seemingly too often around the country. When executed right, uniforms featuring the powder blue of North Carolina are gorgeous. Jordan’s modern spin on the Tar Heels’ traditional jerseys takes the top spot on this list for that reason alone.

In reality, there isn’t much to the North Carolina blue jerseys. That’s what makes them so brilliant. A Carolina Blue thread complete with neutral colors to compliment it. All numbering is given a clean, classic look as the white numbers are bordered by a black frame. The numbers are repeated on the sleeve with no sleeve or shoulder pattern present on the uniform. The ACC logo has a white background, black outline and Carolina Blue lettering.

This is the only other instance of Carolina Blue on the top, other than the color of the jersey itself. The aspect of this jersey that ties everything together is the collar. The design on the collar is a classic diamond pattern. This pattern sticks with the theme of the rest of the uniform as the black-outlined diamonds intertwine with the white, solid diamonds.

The stunning aspects of this jersey are surely the consistency and simplicity. Of course, the Carolina Blue is always a nice touch. However, the way the theme remains consistent throughout the entire uniform — not just the jersey — is what lands the North Carolina Tar Heels the top spot.
