[11W] Big Ten alternate uniforms, as created by players

Submitted by Ali G Bomaye on

Eleven Warriors did an interesting feature at B1G media days, and asked players in attendance to design alternate uniforms for their team. Tyree Kinnel designed Michigan's, although Nike might not be a big fan of his shoulder stripes...

Good god, I just violently threw up the instant I saw the Michigan one. The inverted helmet colors? The Adidas shoulder stripes on a Jordan brand uniform?? Gotta be troll job by Tyree.

The players really do like those bee stripes.  I've always thought they were a little weird, but consistently guys seem to like them.

I'm not going to lie - I sorta like Minnesota's and Purdue's.

There was really no in-between here, I guess.

I really enjoy the Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, and Purdue ones.

I really hate ours, State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Iowa, and Rutgers. 

Doesn't seem like Ohio State or Nebraska changed much of anything.

some of these are dope, the northwestern one looks like the guy was on shrooms.  but my favorites are the OSU / staee ones because they're essentially indistinguishable from their regular jerseys, revealing what a bunch of unimaginative imbeciles those players, student bodies, and entire municipalities truly are.

I normally think alternate jerseys are turrrrible, but some of these were pretty good.  I particularly like Indiana, Iowa, Purdue and of course Goldie.  The best of the bunch has to be Maryland, just based on the fact it is the least atrocious Maryland uniform I have ever seen.

Ones I like: Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Purdue

Ones about which I'm indifferent: Indiana, Iowa, msu, Nebraska (did anything change?), 

Ones I hate: Michigan, osu (all red, yuck), Penn State, Rutgers (that script is terrible), Wisconsin

Other: Northwestern (I like the design, but not the gold)

I actually kinda like the psu black out one. And I honestly think the msu helmet looks cool given that it's essentially their logo... however the font on the jersey is bad and should feel bad. That font and Rutgers' font should both jump off a cliff while fighting over The Situation Trophy.

 

I want to like NW's but man that color is just ugly as hell. Illinois' looks like a soccer jersey, especially with that logo (which, as a logo I kinda like, but only if they're changing their name to Champaign United). Minnesota's logo is cool and throwback but the jersey doesn't do it justice. The tracks on purdue's are actually a tasteful touch. Maryland's helmet looks like a rug my wife wants to buy but can't afford. Iowa should never use that I logo.

 

Others don't add much. I'm pretty sure osu just added stickers and red, which sounds like something my 2nd grader would do. Still trying to figure out what changed about UNL's and UW's besides stripes and lines. Indiana's looks like someone sat down and said "how can I make this most like a basketball jersey?"

 

And yet ours is likely the worst. Lovely.

Some look great but there are a few that make me scratch my head. I’m a big fan of alternate uniforms though so hopefully we see a good amount this year.
