NCAA basketball: 15 best college basketball uniforms, ranked
By Adam Childs
14. Tennessee Volunteers
Like it or not, but the Tennessee orange and white look is classic. I really like it and I think it looks great on the basketball court. Tennessee has done a pretty good job with their uniforms, although it would be even better if they went back permanently to their throwbacks. If they were to do that, they would be much higher on this list.
They still look great in what they are wearing. The only complaint I have is with their jersey not having stripes at the armhole. If they would add that then this jersey would be great. Even without that, it is still a great look. The numbers have a slight outline in black that makes them pop and make it look a little different from Tennessee across the chest.
The shorts, in this case, are better than the jersey. I really like the stripe on the side that turns into the classic checkerboard that the football team is known for. It is great to see when teams can incorporate other sports into their uniforms but still maintain the look for the sport they are playing. It’s a great way to tie in great looks across teams.
The only thing I would change is having the stripe go up the side of the jersey also. This would make it look a little more uniform, but this still looks good. The home uniform is just as good as it is but with the colors flipped. Tennessee has dabbled in black some, but are better off staying away from that.
They keep it simple with orange and white most of the time and it is something they should stick with.
