CBB Uniforms (1988-89 to Present): 12 Seeds

We are moving along with RBP's ranking of the top 64 uniforms from the 1988-89 season to the present. For more on that process, read the introduction to the original post. And now the 12 seeds:

48) Louisville (Kyle Kuric):
Louisville's uniforms have seen a number of subtle modifications over the course of the past few seasons, but this year's version is worth keeping.





47) Michigan (Glen Rice):
The large "M" and off-centered number are fantastic, but the trim on the shorts makes Glen Rice and company look like they have the hips of a 12-year old girl.




46) Seton Hall (Terry Dehere):
Seton Hall lost by a single point in overtime in the 1988-89 National Championship game, but cursive script and a pirate head on the shorts give P.J. Carlesimo's squad a one position victory over the Wolverines in the more important cooler uniform contest.




45) Notre Dame (Chris Thomas):
The white unis with the four-leaf clover dotting the "i" is worthy of a much higher ranking, but the gold alternates with what appears to be some sort of Gaelic font made me throw up on my keyboard.

  1. Late to the party, but I'm as excited about Terry Dehere's inclusion as Steve is about Lawrence Moten.

    Just to clarify, you indicated that Michigan's shorts made their players appear to have the hips of a twelve-year-old girl. You're saying that's bad, right?

    Thanks for your help, friend.

  2. I should probably note that Dehere did not play on the 1988-89 Seton Hall squad that fell to Michigan in the National Championship. He came in the year after. The Pirates dropped the baby blue from their away unis at some point during Dehere's stint at Seton Hall, but the whites remained the same.

    1. You're suspiciously silent on the adolescent hip pro/con issue. Put out this fire before you have a Coach Bert scandal on your hands http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&sa=N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=800&bih=415&tbm=isch&tbnid=LSa3pSUvpewbQM:&imgrefurl=http://hotoffpress.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/saturday-night-live-steve-buscemithe-black-keys-12311/&docid=b1w0q1AtDwQF3M&imgurl=http://hotoffpress.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/coach-bert.jpg&w=841&h=472&ei=YRYgT5-aPMvWtwe3h_iuBQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=373&vpy=118&dur=4399&hovh=168&hovw=300&tx=151&ty=104&sig=109893574328048544802&page=1&tbnh=100&tbnw=144&start=0&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0
