Join us on Mt. Olympus for the top 10 best team purchases of the 2010 MCLA season.

Not everyone can be number one in their respective categories but a top 10 overall list does provide some room to celebrate a very good year for highly custom Nike uniforms.

10. Florida State’s Maroon Kit

From the front, not much to complain about. Those are beautiful from the front.

Maybe could have gone with gold text and a white outline to really crystallize the font and we could have used more gold and last white in the gloves. Further, by picking King IIs, you automatically limit your customization options.

This was one of our favorite uniforms of the year. Sure, the white with gold font hurt Florida State’s chances to be higher on this list but the chief offense of this uniform was the tramp stamp logo on both Nike uniforms which we refuse to show.

Take out the tramp stamp and FSU wins best kit for the next 4 years without fail. They are still top 10.

9. Idaho’s Odessa Permian uniforms

Clean.

Timeless.

Mean.

It takes a lot of guts to calm your uniform down in such a fashion.

8. Miami uniforms

People may move to this state to die but boy can they dress down South. Did Dexter design these? We still think the Debra Morgan character is the worst person on television.

Super thrilled by the decision to use orange font for the team name. Nice change of pace maneuver.

Those K18s are vastly superior to these season’s K18s in terms of visuals.

You know it.

She knows it.

They know it.

7. Colorado State gloves

The decision to go retro proved to be a disaster for their uniforms but we cannot get enough of this solid green Sugar Fathers.

6. Michigan alternate jersey

We get very angsty about team’s using an alternate color uniform as their primary uniform. For example, Boston College sported black and white uniforms this season. Boston College’s school colors are maroon and gold.

We have nothing against an alternate uniform should a team be able to afford it as an alternate not as a primary. We all know Michigan can afford alternate uniforms.

These are just mean spirited but we are only including the jersey because the trim on the bottom of the shorts makes them look a little basketballish.

Take that trim out and you’ve got a top 3 overall item. Removing the giant M from their uniforms was one of the best things to happen to MCLA fashion since the invention of Under Armour.

5. Minnesota dome

No surprise here. The Top Helmet for 2010 makes an appearance.

Death to sporting good store white helmets.

4. Colorado uniform

The Best Uniform of 2010 lands at number 4.

3. Pitt gloves

The Best Gloves of 2010 land at number 3.

Stunning.

2. Florida orange kits

The winner of the Best Kit award returns for a victory lap. The Gators looked so good in 2010 they made us like things we hate if only for a moment.

Had they included a tramp stamp who knows what may have occurred.

1. Their head coach was not retained. They gave birth to one of the most recognizable club players of all time. And now, Chapman earns the #1 spot on our list.

Unreal idea to go with a basic tank top for your shooting shirt.

Of course we forgot to order a Babe City tank.

And the worst, item we saw this year…

Let’s head down to San Marco, Texas.

This uniform is a financial and cultural disaster.

1) Mini logo instead of a team name plate

2) Partial sleeve stripes ruins the uniform’s identity. Retro or cutting edge. Oooooooooh we don’t know we’ll just do everything at once.

3) What is that gut line?

Oh it seems to reach up under the arm and return down the back to were one can find a lovely tramp stamp on a game jersey.

How many corporate logos can we jam on to the side of the uniform?

That star logo is the uniform company’s logo. Stick Star out of Texas.

Uniform error #2923: Lacrosse image on your game uniform.

If someone went to Cold Stone Ice Creamer, ate everything, with every topping beaten into the ice cream, then had to design a uniform, and threw up onto cloth, they would get the Texas State blacks.

From the uniforms to Texas A&M’s Riddy helmets to the coaching carousel to the dissolution of the Big 12 conference, this .gif file is directed at everyone in the Lone Star Conference.

Get a grip.
