My wife ranks the Big Ten uniforms
Last Sunday, my wife ranked all the Big Ten mascots. That idea was very well received, so she asked if she could come back and rank the uniforms of all the teams in the conference. If your school has a red uniform, then I’ll say this, I’m sorry. She just didn’t like how many Big Ten schools wore either red or some variation of the color red on their uniform. Everything on this list is flipped and mixed around.
If you’ve enjoyed this series, then fret not, as we’ll be back again next week as she takes a closer looker at Big Ten team helmets. But for now, it’s time to look at the list of who my wife thinks has the best and the worst uniforms among all the Big Ten teams. Her final words about this list were, “everyone is going to be mad at me.” I reassured her that isn’t true… unless you’re an Ohio State fan.

Michigan State
My wife’s thoughts: I like the all-green look. Probably because it’s a dark green and not highlighter green.
