Best high school sports uniforms in the nation: Check out some favorites worn this spring

From baseball and softball to track, flag football and soccer, here are 20 kits that caught our eye this season

SBLive Sports has covered high school sporting events across the nation this spring, and upon scanning the thousands of photos we've taken, something stood out: There's nothing uniform about high school uniforms.

Mascots range from Hodags to Battling Bathers to Ugly Eagles in the high school ranks, and uniforms range from classic professional-quality looks to wild variations of colors, shapes and pinstripes.

High school football playoffs' best-dressed teams in 2023: Uniform lovers edition

Here are 20 uniforms our photographers captured during the spring high school sports season that caught our eye for a variety of uni-watch reasons. Email swanson@scorebooklive.com and tag us on Twitter or Instagram at @SBLiveSports to share some other eye-catching high school sports uniforms.

Alonso Ravens flag football (Florida)

The jerseys have an old-school NFL feel, and the uniformity of the headbands adds something extra to one of the best flag football teams in Florida.

Aurora Greenmen softball (Ohio)

Can't say we've ever seen green, black and white put together like this in a uniform. It's distinctly Aurora, like the Greenmen nickname.

Bartow Yellow Jackets softball (Florida)

Gators aren't orange and blue and neither are Yellow Jackets, but just like its collegiate counterparts in Gainesville, Bartow wears the color scheme well.

Eagle Pass Eagles softball (Texas)

If you like the Texas Longhorns, then you have to love the Eagle Pass Eagles' uniforms.

Forney Jackrabbits softball (Texas)

This uniform might resemble some new menacing bee-like species, but the "Jackrabbits" on the pant leg eliminates all potential confusion.

Fort Zumwalt East Lions baseball (Missouri)

Anyone who misses the Seattle Supersonics (especially the former NBA team's 1980s look) might consider picking up some Fort Zumwalt East swag.

Green Bulldogs softball (Ohio)

The black band behind "Bulldogs" really makes it pop, and we hope the Cleveland-area squad's fans don't mind the Green Bay Packers-style G on the helmets, because we love it.

High Point Christian Cougars baseball (North Carolina)

Baggy green pants with blue pinstripes? Not in the majors, no. But in high school baseball? Yes, please.

Issaquah Eagles baseball (Washington)

The gray jerseys and pants accented with purple pinstripes are fantastic on their own, but that large-to-small-to-large typeface is the big winner here.

Lafayette Lancers soccer (Missouri)

From the color scheme to the crest to the swooshes, the Lancers' unis look ready for the National Women's Soccer League.

Lake Oswego track and field (Oregon)

The wings surrounding the "O" on this Duck-like design are perfect for track and field, and they become even more perfect when worn by world-class sprinter Mia Brahe-Pedersen.

Lodi Flames track and field (California)

Going with an orange-red top with green shorts already stands out, but put some white shapes that look like butterflies on the shorts and oh my, we have a winner.

North DeSoto Griffins softball (Louisiana)

This one's all about red-white-and-blue symmetry. Love the simple jerseys and typeface in tandem with the striped pants, striped socks and old-school stirrup look.

North Gwinnett Bulldogs baseball (Georgia)

From the NG logo on the cap to the typeface of "Dawgs" down to the simple dark-and-white color scheme, this is a rock-solid kit.

North Myrtle Beach Chiefs baseball (South Carolina)

From professional at the top, with that Milwaukee Brewers-style cap, down to a little bit bananas at the bottom with those baggy yellow pants, there's nothing subtle about this uniform.

Poteau Pirates baseball (Oklahoma)

If the simplicity of North Gwinnett's dark-and-white kit is what stands out, Poteau counters that with red-white-and-black complexity, and we still like it.

Ridge Point Panthers soccer (Texas)

From top to bottom, gray blends down to purple, which blends down to gray, which finally finishes with purple socks. Clever.

St. Louis University Junior Bills track and field (Missouri)

Sometimes when you're watching a track meet, it can be hard to spot which team is which based on the uniforms. Not so with the Junior Bills.

Torrey Pines Falcons baseball (California)

A lot of the uniforms on this list are perfect for high school but could never make it in The Show. Not this one. You could transfer this design to an MLB expansion team and no one would bat an eye.

Tupelo Golden Wave baseball (Mississippi)

The shiny light-blue jersey mixed with the darker-blue helmets are great, but the gray pants with blue pinstripes seal the deal. No. 2 here (Gavin Puckett) even has a perfectly matching sliding mitt in his back pocket.
