Clean, creative, symbolic, straight forward, there's a lot of different ways to take a uniform design. You have a standard home and away uniform, in the professional leagues you have alternate or "city" uniforms which often connect with a specific aspect of the city or the culture of where the team is from. Which one gets it right in the OUA? Which program has the best threads on the court? Let's start some arguments.
Starting with a couple honourable mentions, I have to include Carleton's white jerseys. I like how clean they've made the jerseys with the black numbering on an all-white jersey.
The one thing that keeps it as an honourable mention for me is I feel like the font used for the name is a bit too much like a typewriter. I understand the choice from a school branding perspective but I feel like they could've either made the font bigger or a little bit more stylistic to add just a bit of the Ravens flair to an otherwise really tidy jersey.
Another honourable mention, the blue TMU jerseys. I love the simplicity of the jersey and how the number and name pops on the front and the back.
The thing keeping this as an honourable mention for me is the yellow lines cutting across the legs. Keeping the lines just going down the sides of the jersey and shorts would've put it in the top spot but aside from that the usage of the colours and the font that is used with the TMU logo makes this jersey look really good on the court.
Now, my favourite jersey in the OUA, something that takes a bit of everything i've mentioned and puts it together. The white Ottawa Gee-Gees jerseys are the cleanest and the best jerseys in the OUA to me.
I love how there's not too much going on to distract you, it has a coloured collar just like the gold lines on the TMU jersey, the font used for Ottawa pops at you and the three lines on either side run down the sides and doesn't interfere with the front or the back of the jersey. I love the design choice on the jersey and the overall execution, it's my favourite in women's basketball.
I like jerseys that can keep it simple but have it still standout, and to me these three are the best in the OUA at both of those things.
