Wisconsin's uniforms are receiving lots of hate on Twitter
While the game between Kentucky and Wisconsin got off to a fast start, some viewers just haven’t been able to look past the Badgers’ red and white Adidas uniforms.
Twitter exploded with jokes about Wisconsin’s gear – especially the large white cummerbund-like stripe at the top of the team’s shorts.
Love Wisconsin s program but let's be honest their uniforms are flat out brutal . Beyond brutal.

No matter the result, future generations will always ask why Wisconsin wore cummerbunds to the Final Four?

Wisconsin's cummerbund is very fashionable this prom season.

Some even said that they are rooting against the Badgers just because of the ugly uniforms.
I'm rooting for Kentucky only because Wisconsin's uniforms are so horrible.

I’m rooting for Kentucky solely because Wisconsin’s uniform would be better suited for “What Not to Wear” than the Final Four.

Others were reminded of the famous red and white sweater from the children’s book series Where’s Waldo?
I can't with Wisconsin and these "where's Waldo" uniforms

Wisconsin wasn’t the only team to be outfitted with special “Made in March” uniforms designed by Adidas. UCLA, Louisville, Texas A&M, N.C. State, Kansas, Nebraska and Michigan all were given a similar look, but the Badgers are the only team to showcase them in the Final Four.
The Badgers wore white uniforms with a red stripe early in the tournament.
Those seemed to offend the masses a little bit less.
