Disagree on the worst. Anything and white can look good if in proportion. Agree with Bones - all red is particularly harsh. I think of Tinley Park with their all red. I also recall those Waukegan uniforms with the purple, green and yellow.
Agree. Batavia is pretty terrible with the red and yellow primary colors. Looks like what Ronald McDonald would wear if he started a football team.
Waukegan's are pretty bad. I'm guessing if you don't like Batavia you also won't like Rock Island.
Loyola's are classic. I like the moroon pants but don't think the current ones should be changed at all. St. Laurence unis are pretty classic as well.
MC's leg stripe is too wide.
SR's should go w/ SMU's design.
BR is looking better than ever.
PC all-whites look great.
LA's maroon helmet/white jersey/gold pants look electric under the lights.
F should stop tinkering and just go Raiders.
BMac looks great.
MCHS too much maroon.
DLS should go Chargers.
Anyone with the same-color-as-jersey numerals should be shot.

Perhaps the Bulldogs have a lucrative sponsorship deal with McDonalds...
The one thing I really don't like are when jersey's and the numbers on the jerseys are the same color but different shades of that color.
Also cannot stand last names on the back of high school jerseys.
The only new jersey's I remember not liking was those new Naz jerseys from a year or two back which I completely did not like.

Disagree. I love black on black AND white on white. Its the colorful solids that erk me.
I would imagine teams do this on purpose so that its nearly impossible to pickup numbers on film.
Because I believe in high school you are playing for the team on the front of the jersey not the player on the back of the jersey.

If a kid is going to be selfish and play for only himself, it matters not what's on the back of a jersey.
Black on black looks pretty sharp, if done properly...

It can look real good or real bad. It's real bad when a team wears black socks with all black, IMO.
Look at the teams that have built dynasty's with multiple state championships like JCA, Mt. Carmel, Driscoll and Geneseo. These programs don't put player names on the back of the jersey's and there is a big reason for it,

I think when you go all black you have to go black socks and helmets. When youre in all blacks youre dressing for the opponents final services
Rockford Boylan didn't lose a conference game for 6 years I believe and won a 6A title and a 7A title in back to back years. They have last names on their jerseys.....
Some schools simply have a patch with the name. The player keeps the patch school keeps the jersey.
Or the players have to purchase the jersey, and then get to keep it.
Its 3 different kinds of brown - the 2 Carmels used to be the same, until MC dropped gold and darkened the brown. JCA is more a reddish brown, at least in the sun.
The biggest reason is it is a pain in the *** to do when you don't order new jerseys every year.
OK, they are still brown though. Classic yes, good look, no.
"Brown shoes don't make it." ~ Frank Zappa
Boylan kids pay a local uniform shop to stitch their names on the back. The problem is that there's always at least 7 to 10 kids that don't do it, so it looks real tacky. Either the whole team should have names on the jerseys, or none should have them
How many pro sports teams(NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB) have brown uniforms? If it was a good color, teams would pick it. From a marketing standpoint... brown doesn't sell. How many people drive around in brown cars? Yellow would be hideous as well.
This discussion is getting deep now. NNfan tends to bring tremendous depth to these threads.
Only pro team I can think of with brown is the Cleveland Browns.
