Everyone knows about the Oregon Ducks and their relationship with Phil Knight. Oregon football is known universally as having the best uniforms in college football due to their partnership with Nike which allows the team to have a new design each week. Does their domination of owning the best uniforms in their conference continue from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten?

Penn State's "Generations of Greatness" uniforms are a throwback to earlier eras of the program. The blue and white are simple yet perfect.

The deal the university and football team has with the Jordan brand stands out on the field.

Another football program that has a deal with the Jordan brand but the shade of blue and that shade of maize are bold.

1. Oregon Ducks

The Ducks are the runaway favorite with the green and yellow. And this is before the all-new "Generation O" uniforms debut this fall.

Oregon's equipment administrator Kenny Farr helped come up with the concept of the new uniforms with a committee which is comprised of veteran players on the 2024 football team.

Farr says the "Generation O" uniforms will be the base set of uniforms for the next three years. It's been a well-kept secret on what they will look like so you must continue to be patience.

A couple of honorable mention picks would have to go to the Michigan State Spartans, USC Trojans, and Purdue Boilermakers. As for the worst in the Big Ten, the Indiana Hoosiers and Rutgers Scarlet Knights' Adidas uniforms have to be considered.
