9. Texas Tech Red Raiders 2014 Red-Black Ombré Alternate

Red, black, and white might be the best colors to get creative in designing an alternate uniform. For the Texas Tech Red Raiders, they have made some good impressions on the college football world but this combination from 2014 was definitely not one of those high points.

Let’s examine.

First off, they have a black helmet with two over-sized Red Raider logos located on each side of the helmet, which is not all that terrible until you get the same over-sized logo on both the jersey and the pants. And the logo on the jersey is on the right sleeve and from afar just looks like a big black ink smudge. But just in case their opponents forgot who they were playing, their left pants leg had the same logo outlined in dark red, on black pants.

Now, you would think that would be the worst part of the uniform but it’s not. The Red Raiders went with an ombré look. For those who don’t know what ombré is, google it and the majority of examples that show up are a way for someone to dye their hair two different colors. The dictionary defines ombré as having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark.

So according to the dictionary, this uniform does meet the definition of the word as both red and black are dark colors here and the transition from red to black is not gradual at all. By the human eye test, and by definition, the Red Raiders failed to make a good looking uniform and were way off of achieving an ombré look.
