30 best jerseys in college football

26. Kentucky (White)

Another SEC team who finds their way onto the list is the Kentucky Wildcats. Much like the others schools on the list to this point, it’s hard to go wrong with an excellent color scheme. For Kentucky, it’s royal blue and white which are the basis for the school’s uniforms. For many years, the Wildcats — just like the rest of mediocre programs in the country — enjoyed a simple uniform which hardly changed. The blue helmet with the big “UK” on the side was always the go-to, but as times have changed, so have the Wildcats’ uniforms.

Over time and at the turn of the 2010’s, Kentucky began to give Nike more freedom when designing its uniforms. The Wildcats quickly adopted black and grey alternates, along with chrome and white helmets. Luckily, along with the ‘UK’ on the helmet, one thing remains common in each new uniform release; the checkerboard sleeves. Despite being a staple of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium, the checkerboard is hardly seen anymore with Kentucky being one of the last to sport the pattern on uniforms. Although the black and grey alternates recently adopted by the Wildcats are sharp, it’s the white jerseys which find their way onto this list.

The all-white uniforms are stunning, but it’s the patterns on the jersey which make them great. Of course, the white helmet with a blue logo always looks good, but it’s hard to top the jersey. The Wildcats’ white jersey is base white with blue accents. A blue collar and logo, blue lettering and numbering, as well as the blue checkerboard sleeves make it an instant classic. Kentucky’s on-field performance may have been shaky over the last few seasons, but my oh my have they looked good in every game.
