Kind of a random topic, but I thought it might be fun to mix things up a bit. How would you rank the uniforms of each SEC baseball team? I won't include LSU out of biasness, but I think our jerseys are very good, especially the classic gold ones.

13. Tennessee- The Vols try to copy the Baltimore Orioles' look, but that hideous shade of bright orange doesn't look good on anything. Their home whites with pinstripes look good, but all of their other jerseys are hard to look at. Bad jerseys for a bad team. How appropriate. Overall Rating 3/10

12. Mizzou- I've only seen their jerseys once, so that's not really enough to form a good judgment. I don't have to see them to know that they are better than Tennessee's, though.

11. Kentucky- The Cats' uniforms aren't hideous like Tennessee's, but the generic "Kentucky" in block lettering across the chest makes nothing stand out about them. They look like the designers took about 5 minutes and thought, "Good enough". The royal blue jersey is sharp, but only the color makes it any different from their gray and white jerseys. The only unique jersey Kentucky has is a black one that says "Cats". Overall Rating: 4/10

10. Alabama- Their jerseys have barely changed in all the years I've been watching them. Very simple, classic look. The only one that is fairly new is the crimson jersey with "Bama" across the chest.
Overall Rating: 5/10

9. Arkansas- The Hogs keep it simple by only having three jerseys. The new font looks sharp and the red jersey is quite nice. Overall Rating: 6/10

8. Florida- The Gators' jerseys have changed a ton over the years. The newest versions look OK. They used to only wear grey and white, now they have orange and blue alternates. Overall: 6/10

7. Texas A&M- Maroon and white isn't a unique color scheme, but the font looks sharp. The Aggies jerseys
don't stand out in a good or bad way compared to the others. The newer ones look sharp minus the pads in the pants. Overall: 7/10

6. Mississippi State- The Bulldogs are probably the only baseball team I'm aware of that doesn't wear gray jerseys for whatever reason. Ever. They wear maroon about 80% of the time. The only reason I rate them ahead of the Aggies is because they still wear the retro jerseys that Will Clark and Rafael Palmiero wore back in the 80s. Overall: 7/10

5. Vanderbilt- Vandy is a mixed bag. Most of their modern jerseys look nice, while their retro jerseys look hideous. All-black uniforms with gold pinstripes might be even uglier than Texas Southern's doozies the other night. They get bonus points for wearing patriotic jerseys on Sundays. Overall Rating: 7.5/10

4. Ole Miss- The Rebels are another team whose four jerseys have remained the same for years. The combo of red and navy blue looks just as good now as it did 150 years ago. Maybe someday they'll beat LSU in Baton Rouge again. Overall Rating: 8/10

3. Georgia- Red and black aren't unique colors in sports, or even within the SEC, but the Dawgs' uniforms have always looked sharp. Look a lot like the Cincinnati Reds. The grays and whites are classic looks, while the red and black are nice, modern alternates. The white jerseys hopefully remind Georgia fans of the time before their team became terrible (they used to consistently be the best team in the East in the mid-2000s). Overall: 8.5/10

2. Auburn- The Tigers' jerseys are simple, but the interesting number font really makes them pop. The cream uniform is sharp and the orange jersey is arguably the nicest in the SEC. Overall: 9/10

1. South Carolina- With five hats, seven jerseys, and four pants, the Cocks have the most uniform combinations in the SEC by far. They combine classic and modern perfectly, and bringing black back into the color scheme a few years ago was a great decision. The Gamecocks look great no matter what uniform they wear. Overall Rating: 9.5/10

IMHO, the Aggies uniforms in the regional games looked like hell.

Hansel, so hot right now. Hansel.

Vandy is 9 places too high

I put LSU at #1 actually. Football and baseball.

Then probably because, biased, I like the Ags #2.

In football, I also like Auburn's unis.

Each team has multiple uniforms. Which ones are you rating?

I was kind of rating each team as a whole, rather than individual uniforms. Judging by the chart, which I think is about 95% accurate, a few of the jerseys I mentioned in the OP have been phased out.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the two purple LSU "Tigers" jerseys in the picture is. I notice the Nike and SEC logos are in different spots, but it seems silly LSU would keep two nearly identical jerseys. We occasionally wear gold undershirts instead of purple, but very rarely. We phased out our gray "LSU" jerseys for some reason this year. I think it was a commemorative jersey for the 93' national championship team, and they should reintroduce the gray jersey soon.

I could swear I've never seen MSU wear grey jerseys in any game. Certainly not against LSU. I could be wrong.

Those were terrible

I have to give it to LSU. They are the best...

I think ours are very good (usually). I like the classic look the most in baseball. The grey under armor looking armpit stripes we wore in the regional were awful.


But I think these are as good as any in the country.




I like some of the throwback looks that have been increasing in popularity, but of course Adidas took a cool idea and ruined it by giving it to all their teams. Kind of cheapens the effect when every third team in the country is wearing these now:




I also thought Cal's solid white unis against us were fantastic.

Agree. In most leagues, I think A&M's uniforms would be among the very best. The SEC just has too many teams with shades of red as part of the color scheme to really stand out. Maroon and white is just a classic look.

And yeah, Adidas giving every team similar retro uniforms kind of ruins the point. Louisville's are just cringe-worthy.

Glad people like LSU's look. We had some TERRIBLE jerseys (I will post a picture of the legendary eye-melting black alternates if I can) under Smoke Laval, but all of our jerseys under Mainieri have been nice.

We need these for at least a throwback game.

I'll probably get reamed for this, but even though I like the classic style, I hate stirrups. At least the high ones like these:





Low ones are alright though:





I'll contradict myself though and say that these are a pretty good look:





And these are the best:

I don't know what it is about orange and blue, but Auburn sure finds a way to make it look fantastic in every sport.

Personally, I hate the way stirrups look, and so does Paul Mainieri. I love classic uniform designs, but I always prefer the solid sock design without any stirrups or stripes. Mainieri is generally relaxed when it comes to allowing LSU players to wear their uniforms how they want, but he doesn't allow facial hair or sock stirrups. Kind of strange-looking that half our team has mullets without facial hair.

I love it when entire teams wear their socks up (meaning pants are rolled up to the kneecap). It looks very professional. I believe A&M does this, correct me if I'm wrong.

Purple and yellow is the worst color combination in all of college sports...period!

For a&m to improve we need a pinstripe top, accent piping around the collar and down the button seam, and "Texas Aggies" and "Aggies" across the chest.

And the yellow isn't even close to the true color of a corndog.

My favorite jersey outside ours is the Arkansas script A. I think it looks fantastic.

A&M is #1 in the country for this reason...every player wears their pants at the knee, which is what you're supposed to do. You look Iike a ball player. I can't freaking stand these jack wagons that have b****-ass, MC Hammer pants, looking like Manny Ramirez with their pants draped over their cleats. Nick Banks & Blake Allemand look like dirt bag ball players, and I love it. For that reason, A&M is a unanimous #1.

It can't even be argued.

Purple and yellow is terrible, you're right. That's why we use purple and gold. They are very regal colors and the color combination is very unique in sports. I can only think of a handful of collegiate or professional teams that use purple and gold as their colors. It makes us stand out. People see our uniforms and instantly know it's LSU, which is exactly how it should work. LSU's colors were originally supposed to be maroon and white, by the way, but luckily LSU and Tulane both decided to use Mardi Gras colors instead. Imagine the night mare of having 5 teams in the SEC West with nearly identical color schemes.

Ag uni's sucked overall this year in a big way. I'm tired of Adidas and just pumping their various lines of styles to all their schools.

Even the best one(the white ones pictured above) are GREAT, but the names are way too small on the back.

Really disappointed in what we've seen from Adidas the last couple years when it comes to baseball. I miss the traditional looks of the 90's and early 00's. A bunch of other schools have managed to keep their traditional looks and they are great and unique.

And don't even get me started with those ridiculous massive bevel number atrocities that were worn for the first handful of games of the regional.

You can only think of a handful, and there is a reason. You stand out, people notice, but no one tries to emulate.

Just my $0.02.

Purple and gold is great looking. It's unique and stands out amongst the crowded sports landscape, and has historical and regional significance.

My fraternity colors are purple and gold. Enjoyed my years at TAMU and my fraternity, but I hate the LSU colors.
Best Baseball uniform is AU.

I hate our trucker hats.

The old school plain Maroon and White with Texas Aggies were the best.

my pet peeve regarding uniforms...every team needs to have a classic gray uniform for road games.

this year at Olsen, South Carolina by far had the best unis of any visiting team. On Friday they wore gray jerseys and gray pants with black lettering, numbers, and piping. Then on Saturday it was again the all gray uniform but this time with scarlet lettering, numbers, and piping. Looked very sharp both days.

I agree on Cal's uniforms -- the all white looked good
