4. All-greens (1994-95)

These uniforms can be tracked all the way back to before I was born, but I threw the year 1994 on there, as it is the year that these were most recently used. Much like other uniforms that you’ll see on this list, these have strong sentimental value as they were worn by Shawn Respert during his senior season when he would become the all-time leading scorer.

These are just a classic look that remind everybody of a more old-school style of basketball. There’s nothing overly unique about them, but they just look great. It’s the perfect example of how simplicity can yield the best results.

If that wasn’t enough, this jersey was worn during the time that Magic Johnson played at Michigan State. This edition of the jersey has also been spotted on celebrities including former NBA MVP Allen Iverson and actor Michael B. Jordan.
