If there’s one thing baseball fans can agree on, it’s that everyone has a uniform take—and no two lists will ever look the same. Preferences vary wildly, which makes pinning down a perfect order nearly impossible.
But we gave it a shot with input from a few Baseball America colleagues and landed on 25 looks that stand out above the rest.
For this exercise, we valued pure aesthetic over everything else. Tradition and history are nice, but color schemes, logo placement and lettering carried the most weight. Pinstripes and powder tones are heavily represented because, frankly, they’re the easiest to pull off and are a timeless baseball look. But creativity earned points, too. That’s why a bold option like Navy’s Jolly Roger set or FIU’s eye-popping vice jerseys made the cut right alongside long-standing classics that have been staples of the sport for decades.
Of course, we know not everyone will see it the same way—and that’s half the fun. Uniform debates are made for disagreement, and if this list sparks a little friendly back-and-forth, then it’s already done its job.
Below, you’ll find the Baseball America Top 25 College Baseball Uniforms. Be sure to let us know what you think we got right—and wrong.

2. Texas’ Home Whites
Texas’ home whites are simple, but there’s something that’s so aesthetically pleasing and clean about seeing “Texas” in big, burnt orange letters across a crisp, white jersey. The burnt orange Nike swoosh is a nice cherry on top, too. Texas is one of only a handful of programs in the sport that, when you look at their jerseys, you’re immediately reminded of all the great players and teams of years past. They have—and will continue to—withstand the test of time.
3. Oregon’s Pinstripes With Duck Patch
Oregon has Nike behind it and rarely misses when it comes to uniforms, with baseball right in step. The white pinstripes with the duck patch on the chest are among the cleanest looks in the sport, blending a classic design with a bold, instantly recognizable logo that gives the jersey…
