9. Stanford Cardinal

I have often been rather critical of teams who rely too much on the color white within their home uniform design. Stanford is no exception. The look, along with those of programs like Texas and Tennessee, just comes off as a little lazy, or blah. The cardinal is a nice complement to the white, but that’s just about all there is to say about Stanford.

8. Washington State Cougars

Here we have what is nothing more than a slightly better Stanford style: a cardinal-like shade of red and white mixture, but this time it has more of the former. Some do not care overly much for the Cougars’ insignia, but it is at least both creative and original. Besides that, there is usually a lack of color balance in the WSU look, and that is frequently paired with a boring appearance.

7. Cal Golden Bears

Quite a gap is present between numbers eight and seven here, because one of the most mysterious phenomena is how teams with the color duo of navy blue and yellow seem to always balance said colors beautifully. Unless Cal is focusing on an individual color for the sake of an alternate style, they are very well-versed in the art of uniform design. Even in the photo above, the Golden Bears look very dapper on the field. Perhaps inverting the colors on the helmet would make that particular layout flawless.
