14. Missouri Tigers

1 of 15

Much like the play on the field, the SEC has a strong collection of uniforms. Yet, the Mizzou Tigers have the least traditional of the bunch. Strange shoulder styling and loads of extra accents make these the busiest in the conference. The black and white road digs shown here aren't all that bad, but the home yellows are completely absurd.

13. Arkansas Razorbacks

2 of 15

Much like ranking everything else in the SEC, from top to bottom, the uniforms in this league are excellent. Case in point, Arkansas ranking 13th. A few years ago, the Razorbacks went to a much edgier, much busier look that most college football purist don't like. As far as new-look get-ups go, however, the Hogs are as good looking as anyone's — with the exception of the black ones, which look completely ridiculous.

12. South Carolina Gamecocks

3 of 15

South Carolina has always had a strange looking uniform compared to the rest of the league. The bizarre lines and edgy styling don't conjure up an image of a traditional SEC champion. And as time goes on, the Gamecocks seem content to actually ADD to the piping, shoulder trim and pants. The helmets are awesome looking but the jerseys could use some work.

11. Vanderbilt Commodores

4 of 15

The white tops and white helmet shown here are downright nasty — like, in the way a great pitcher is filthy. The new look helmet and jersey were a huge success last year and a huge step up from the traditional all black and gold helmet/jersey/pants combination. If this look was the every Saturday outfit for the Dores, this uniform might be one of the league's best.

10. Ole Miss Rebels

5 of 15

There is a reason that Ole Miss make some adjustments to their uniforms. The home blue tops and grey pants were lacking and would have ranked 13th on this list. Yet, the slight tweaks appear to have worked as NIKE designed nearly a dozen new combinations for Ole Miss. The navy blue and white combination is really slick looking and is a big improvement on the grey and red/blue combo. The key to the redesign is the Rebels uniforms aren't too busy and overwhelming like most new designs.

9. Mississippi State Bulldogs

6 of 15

When Hail State looks good — like the one shown here — they look really good. The matte helmet and simply styling looks amazing and very clean. Is the giant "Mississippi State" on the chest a bit disatracting? Sure, but it's really the only negative to the redesign of what used to be a very simple and boring Bulldogs uniform.

8. Kentucky Wildcats

7 of 15

Sometimes simple and plain a exactly what looks good. The subtle touches of accent around the collar and shoulders are so subtle that, from a distance, fans can't ever see it. The team rarely uses a third color, giving the Wildcats a distinctive old-school feel. The black alternates look horrendous but the white road tops with blue shoulder pads look pretty solid.

7. Florida Gators

8 of 15

The Swamp is a vicious place to play for opposing teams but it will never be confused with a fashion show. The bright orange and royal blue is one of the most gaudy combinations in the nation. That said, the uniforms are classic and have been unchanged for decades. Strangely enough, however, the Gators have arguably the SEC's best and worst alternate uniform. The white helmets with a blue "F" combined with shoulder stripes are one of the top alternates in the nation. However, this and especially this are downright hideous.

6. Auburn Tigers

9 of 15

For some teams busy and edgy can work. For others, traditional and simple is the way to go. Auburn's uniforms have remained largely unchanged for what seems like their entire existence. The classic "AU" logo is perfectly simple and the color scheme isn't overwhelming. The blue home tops and white road tops mixed with tiger-striped white pants is an SEC stalwart.

5. Tennessee Volunteers

10 of 15

The color is gaudy for sure but what makes Tennessee's uniforms stylish are their simplicity. The two-tone white and orange combination has classically survived decades of uniform tweaks. No matter how many bad alternates crop up (like these ugly duds), the Vols always return to their simple home orange tops and traditional white pants (shown). With the addition of the new orange pants, this get-up has only gotten better.

4. Georgia Bulldogs

11 of 15

It's plain and fairly simple but Georgia shouldn't be messing with a good thing. The bizarro alternates used against Boise State two years ago aside, most every UGA outfit has been strong. The black and red stripes on the pants add the perfect amount of color and the ordinary and classic tops and helmets have worked for decades. And when it comes to black alternates, a team with black in its primary color scheme can always pull it off better than those who have to force it (looking at you Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas A&M and Mississippi State).

3. Alabama Crimson Tide

12 of 15

It's about as classic as a uniform can possibly be. Hell, even the team mascot is named after what the team looked like on the field way back when. The plain numbered helmets are fan favorites and the clean two-tone look will never go out of style. Programs like Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State and Alabama should never change their simple, classic and traditional style.

2. Texas A&M Aggies

13 of 15

The old Aggies digs were solid and few tradition-laden programs should ever change their classic style. But the Texas A&M uniform update from last year was extremely well received. The bevelled numbers, simple contrasting shoulder and pant stripes, and matte helmets look awesome. It is a risky proposition to update a classic style and few do it well, but the Ags hit a home run with their redesign.

1. LSU Tigers

14 of 15

Purple and Gold may seem like a bizarre combination but there is little doubt that these awesome duds aren't one of the best uniforms in the nation. The classic shoulder stripes were well ahead of their time and withstood the test of time while the trim is minimal and simple as well. The helmets accent the whole outfit perfectly with simple style and traditional design. Even LSU's alternates are awesome.

All things considered, which SEC stadium is the best? The worst?

Fall Saturdays are special. Especially, in the South.

Small towns, huge crowds, tailgating, bands, cheerleaders and student sections are just a few of the reasons college football is the best sport on the planet. When campuses jump to life across the nation each weekend in the fall, college stadiums become a staging ground for history.
