Who has the best uniform in the SEC? We asked 23 players

Texas A&M lineman Ar’maj Reed-Adams likes Tennessee’s uniforms.

“That orange and black combination is fire,” Reed-Adams said.

But he wanted to be completely clear, he only likes Tennessee’s orange.

“The other orange is shitty,” Reed-Adams said.

AL.com spent SEC Media Days in Atlanta asking 23 players the same question: Who has the best uniform in the SEC? The only catch: You could not say your school.

We did not limit players to one vote. If a school/uniform was mentioned while a player answered, that was considered a vote for the purpose of tallying them up. Most players limited their answers to one or two, though.

One more important disclaimer — Most players did not distinguish an exact uniform. Only one of the top vote recipients had a specific uniform mentioned (Texas A&M). Otherwise, players primarily answered with a school’s overall uniform combinations.

Here are the unscientific results after polling 23 players across 12 SEC schools.

How many received votes?

Ten different schools received votes: Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.

Alabama, Kentucky, Missouri and Vanderbilt each received one vote.

“I would say I like Missouri’s all-black,” said Kentucky linebacker Alex Afari Jr. “They’ve got a little bit of yellow in it. I like that.”

Meanwhile, his teammate showed support for Vanderbilt’s all-black uniform.

“I just feel like theirs sticks out, the V on the Commodore helmet,” said Kentucky defensive back Jordan Lovett.

T-4th place (3 votes): Tennessee uniform combinations

The Vols picked up three votes for their uniforms.

Mississippi State safety Isaac Smith was another voter, because “orange is my favorite color.” Texas A&M defensive back Will Lee III also showed support for Tennessee.

“The combos they put together are nice,” Lee said.

T-4th place (3 votes): Texas A&M’s all-black uniforms

The Aggies received three votes for their all-black uniforms, specifically. Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold, Missouri safety Daylan Carnell and Missouri lineman Connor Tollison each voted in support.

“I would say the Texas A&M blackout is a really good look for them,” Tollison said.

T-2nd place (4 votes): Florida’s uniform combinations

Oklahoma defensive back Robert Spears-Jennings knew his answer right away.

“I like Florida’s,” he said. “Florida has a lot of combinations. I’m going Florida for sure.”

Kentucky tight end Josh Kattus specifically likes Florida’s all-black uniforms.

“I think those are pretty cool,” Kattus said. “I don’t know what it is. I kind of like the blue and orange color.”

T-2nd place (4 votes): LSU’s uniform combinations

Auburn defensive lineman Keldric Faulk was among the most certain of those surveyed when he picked LSU.

“They have different color combinations that go with anything,” Faulk said. “They have a purple jersey with white. It’s just the different color combinations they have that make it the best in the SEC.”

Tennessee defensive lineman Bryson Eason also voted for LSU in that he likes the colors.

“They all come together in one,” Eason said. “They look so clean.”

1st place (7 votes): Ole Miss’ uniform combinations

There are powder blue options. Red. Navy. White. Helmets. Pants. Jerseys. There is no shortage of options. But it was clear Ole Miss had the most popular combinations overall.

“If I wasn’t wearing a Texas Longhorns jersey, I always thought that Ole Miss had cool colors,” said Texas safety Michael Taaffe.

There wasn’t consensus on the exact uniform, and that’s not surprising considering Ole Miss has more than a dozen possibilities.

“What’s that new color way Ole Miss came out with?” Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter asked. “Powder blue? That one was really sweet. I like that.”

Ole Miss garnered support across the conference, including from Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor, Oklahoma defensive lineman R Mason Thomas, and Florida defensive lineman Caleb Banks, among others.

“It’s that red I like a little bit and that navy blue they’ve got going on,” Banks said. “That (powder blue). It’s pretty cool.”
