Ranking the 2018 NCAA Tournament Jerseys From 68 to 1

North Carolina Tar Heels forward Garrison Brooks (15) reacts against Duke Blue Devils forward Marvin Bagley III (35) and forward Javin DeLaurier (12) during the second half of a semifinals game of the 2018 ACC tournament at Barclays Center at Barclays Center.

These uniforms are all types of wrong. When your dominant color is this type of green, you don’t emphasize it. Insert puke emoji.

Well, first that font looks straight off of Microsoft World. Second, the gold is poorly executed. Nike, save these guys.

I had to double-take real quick. I thought these were exact replicas of the Bel-Air Academy uniforms worn by Will Smith and Carlton Banks. Send these back to Under Armour and get a refund.

These uniforms are pretty bad but let’s be real here...you’re still rocking Russell Athletic uniforms? Your automatic bid needs to be stripped after that.

I’d just blame the school colors for this one. It’s kind of hard to create anything cool with these colors.

Mike Daum and his Jackrabbits seem to be a constant in the NCAA Tournament. That might be a good thing for them but for us, it’s an eyesore. Stop winning!

Nevada has an absurd amount of uniforms, so was it fair that I chose these ones for representation? Yes, because you wore them more than once when you shouldn’t have worn them at all. "Pack" these in the trash can.

In the words of Drake, “I’m just saying you can do better.”

It’s really a shame that Auburn has to hoop in these, because the Tigers have a good squad. But these are the worst uniforms out of all the high-major teams in the tournament.

These only looked good when Dennis Smith Jr. was throwing down tomahawks and windmills in them. NC State, you’re too big of a basketball program to have these trash uniforms.

Under Armour blew a great uniform opportunity for a school with solid team colors. Yikes.

Not a fan of the purple. Pass.

Gradient. Uniforms. Are. Not. For. Everyone.

These are actually much better than the other gold uniforms we’ve seen, but still...eh. How Missouri got the Porter brothers to rock these is beyond me?

TCU has some really nice football uniforms. It seems like Nike didn't invest the same energy and funds toward basketball.

The UNCG lettering doesn’t really fit the uniform, but overall, this isn’t that bad for a mid-major.

Aren’t the Volunteers known for the checkerboard pattern? How did let Kentucky create better checkerboard pattern uniforms than y’all? Major L.

All these football dominant schools are really sucking it up in the uniform category. Here’s another. No excuse to put out a mediocre uniform when your school colors are red and white. It’s also really hard to mess up a black and red jersey but the Razorbacks found a way.

The Bonnies can ball and they showed that in their win over UCLA in the First Four. Their uniforms are subpar, but they made the best out of their brown colors.

“Aggies” is way too big on the chest but it isn’t horrendous for an Under Armour uniform.

If you saw the Nike LIU Brooklyn uniforms that were worn in 2013, you’d appreciate these more. If you’re going rep a borough, you better up your game a bit more though.

Cincinnati jerseys were poppin’ when the Bearcats were under Jordan. They’ve hopped from Adidas to Under Armour. Not poppin’ anymore.

These are just boring uniforms to be honest. Just like Purdue’s success this year, we’re not impressed and we’re not buying it.

The font and composition of the uniform is pretty basic. It does the job but the creativity is limited.

The gray uniform concept is cool but it feels like there is a lot going on with the uniform.

Trae Young is elite—but these uniforms are not. They’re not terrible, though. As I said earlier, it’s hard to fail with red and white, and these get a passing grade.

Oh yeah, we’re going there. The Ivy League has a little swag. The Quakers got a little game, too.

Wright State’s colors are hunter green and gold. Their road uniforms are black and white. I don’t know how the Raiders finessed that but bravo Wright State. These are fly.

Unlike Marshall, Michigan State doesn’t overdo it with green on its uniforms but the Spartans still don’t have an extremely appealing jersey, either.

Hints of navy and orange is usually a no-no but Virginia makes it work. Good balance of the colors.

This is another good mix of blue and orange.

The shades of blue are a nice touch on the uniform. The waist of the shorts are questionable but everything else is respectable.

I’m surprised Steph Curry hasn’t gotten his squad on the Under Armour flow yet. These alternates are nice for the Wildcats.

We go from Steph’s alma mater to LeBron James’ honorary alma mater. Besides the material, the design of the Ohio State uniform hasn’t changed much in the past few years.

Wichita State would be much higher if they still wore the black uniforms with “Shockers” on the front but these will do.

Anytime a team goes with a modern retro version, it usually never fails. This is a dope look for the Aztecs.

The Wildcats’ uniform is alright. It’s just not amazing as it should be for a national powerhouse.

The Mountaineers have pretty much had the same uniforms for a decade with slight adjustments. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  

This is a good example of a simple concept that amounts to fire. These Radford unis are underrated.

Arizona State, in general, has some disgusting colors, but these uniforms are actually solid. Adidas loves decorating the waist too much but it works here.

There are three teams that can pull off the classic predominantly orange look. Texas is one of them.

And the Orange is another. Straight classics.

They didn’t have these unis when Doug McBuckets was at Creighton. They’ve come a long way from those oversized, baggy uniforms.

These uniforms are pretty underrated. Usually these colors would get trashed for some reason, but the Seminoles make it work.

This blue is beautiful. 

There’s a lot going with these uniforms but they’re still terrific.

The Jayhawks hold this spot based on respect of their tradition. It’s an iconic jersey in college basketball. Otherwise, it’d probably be much lower.

Black and blue is undefeated, but black and red isn’t far behind. The names and numbers don’t pop off the uniform, but in this case, it works.

The NCAA should require every team to have a black alternate.

Remember those days when Butler was always the underdog from the Horizon League? Now they play in the Big East and got the Nike plug.

Finally, a football school in the SEC that nails a uniform. 

And the best team in orange goes to the Clemson Tigers. They don’t have the basketball history like Texas or Cuse, but they definitely look better.

These are FRESH. Iona will likely only play one game in the tournament, but at least they’ll look good. They by far have the best mid-major unis in the tournament—not counting Gonzaga because they should not be classified as a mid-major.

That Jumpman holds some weight. Anytime you’re wearing gear with it you’re catapulted to elite status.

Xavier has plenty of options that could go on this list but we’ll shoutout the home whites. Simple and beautiful.

It’s just tradition. Not even Under Armour can ruin UCLA’s legendary uniforms with their slight adjustments.

The Hokies’ threads need way more respect. The font is top notch and the colors mesh smoothly. It’s a hit.

Kentucky took tradition from SEC rival Tennessee and made it better. Kind of like how Coach K took Calipari’s recruiting method and made it better.

Trust me, these will grow on you if you don’t enjoy them at first sight. This is some of Adidas’ best work in college.

Philly sports can take no Ls in 2018 and these Nova unis are another W for the city.

These are the sleeper uniforms of the 68-team field and it’s probably Under Armour’s best work. The players still have to wear Currys with it but at least the uniforms are fresh.

No one, absolutely no one has a better nickname on their jersey than Zags.

Florida has an insane amount of combinations but these take the cake. The classic gator blue and orange is tough to beat.

You love to hate them but there’s no way you can hate these unis. Duke is the poster child for Nike college basketball, even over Oregon who founder Phil Knight holds dear to his heart. 

And the King of the Dance for the best uniforms in March Madness is the defending national champions, the North Carolina Tar Heels. Somehow, the Heels made argyle swaggy and their traditional look has aged like fine wine.
