Best color combinations among SEC schools

#1 -- Red & Black (UGA)....hardly needs mentioning; it's the best color combo on the planet; even the Fashion Institute in Paris says there's nothing better looking. Dawgs always look good on the field. Don't you wish you and your fellow fans looked as good and classy as Georgia fans do!
For the rest of the SEC I will spare my lengthy commentary, but here are my favorites in order:
#2 -- Navy & Burnt Orange (Auburn -- classic combo; wish AU would get away from any bright shade of orange)
#3 -- Gold & Black (Vanderbilt uses "Old Gold" shade which looks great next to black)
#4 -- Royal Blue & White (Kentucky always looks great)
#5 -- Navy & Cardinal Red (Ole Miss has another classic look)
#6 -- Gold & Black (Missouri uses "yellow" gold shade)
#7 -- Cardinal & White (Arkansas has a clean look)
#8 -- Crimson & Cream (Oklahoma -- love the vanilla shade of white they use)
#9 -- Crimson & White (Alabama -- Bama does it right, very clean look)
#10 - Garnet & Black (South Carolina colors are the closest to what their actual mascot shares, looks so good)
#11 - Maroon & White (MSST & Texas A&M classic combo, very clean looking)
#13 - Purple & Gold (LSU uses "yellow" gold shade -- wished they used an "Old Gold" shade, tho, next to purple -- I would have them near the top if they did)
#14 - Burnt Orange & White (Texas is tastefully done)
#15 - Orange & White (Tennessee looks equally good)
#16 - Blue & Orange (Florida uni's would look a bit better to me if they went with blue helmets to go along with blue tops and use orange more as a trim/accent, otherwise looks good)
Everyone has good looking colors; I've just never been a fan of orange in any shade except in AU's case -- burnt orange has that classic college look next to navy and have always liked it.

Agreed, but I don’t think it’ll ever happen. I’ve heard they used to use old gold before color television forced them to change to canary yellow. I could be wrong.
2009 against Arkansas they used the old gold helmets.. Loved it so much I wish they would’ve made it permanent.

Ours is more distinct than most out there.
You immediately know what team that is when it flashes to LSU.

I do like that Georgia fans still hate us this much but you sir are hilariously wrong.

Thank you Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

This is gold:
This is yellow:
LSU’s colors would be sharp if they dropped the lemon.

Florida needs an alternate uniform where the pants look like cutoff denim jorts, the jersey looks like a tank top, and the helmet has a bleach blonde mullet painted on it.

Maroon is the color of failure, but MS State fans have actually been alive to witness a championship in a meaningful sport.
LSU and the Lakers have the exact same colors and a shite ton of championships.
Deal with it, xoxo

As always, a very classy objective analysis

Yellow looks way better than that weird shite.

Everyone but Tennessee looks good in some form or fashion.

Yellow is a tough color in any uni combo.
Same goes for brown.
Just my opinion; others will obviously disagree.

I like this list with one exception. LSU Purple and yellow should be at 6 and everyone below move down a spot.

That G looks better in the original Green Bay colors.
