The NBA and MLB have 30 teams apiece, the NHL has 31, and the NFL has 32. Running down all of the uniform changes at the start of the season for any of those leagues is a fairly manageable task. Then you have college football -- 130 FBS schools. That's a lot of ground to cover, but it's still doable.

And then there's Division I college basketball.

Thirty-two conferences! Three hundred fifty-one schools! And many of them seem to change uniforms just about every season. It's no wonder that your friendly uniform columnist tends to be pretty worn out by this time of year.

But the show, as they say, must go on. So with the college hoops season set to tip off on Tuesday, it's time for the annual Uni Watch College Hoops Season Preview, where we run down all of this season's new uniforms and court designs.

All 351 D-I schools were contacted during the preparation of this column, and more than 100 of them are represented in the text that follows. If a school isn't listed, that means it either said, "No changes for us this year" or simply didn't respond to your friendly uniform columnist's inquiries (although if history is any guide, a bunch of them will respond after this story has been published).

OK, enough preliminaries -- here's what you can expect to see on the court this season, with the usual caveat that there will probably be lots of additional uniforms (camouflage, blackout, gray-out, March Madness, etc.) unveiled as the season progresses.

• Princeton has made several small changes -- a new collar, thicker white outlining on the chest lettering, a new number font, new shouldern striping, and new side piping -- but the overall look is largely the same:

• Florida has transitioned to Nike's Jordan Brand. The home whites look virtually unchanged except for a new tailoring template, but the new orange set is a big improvement:

Also: There had apparently been some sort of rumor or narrative that Kentucky players didn't like the checkerboard trim on the uniforms. But a bunch of the players say that isn't the case.

• LSU, which already had a pretty conservative design, is going ultra-traditional this season:

• Missouri has added a lot of old-school piping to its look (additional photos here):

Curious about that logo on the waistband? It's a reference to the columns on the Mizzou campus:

• Lamar has revised its white home uniform and added a black alternate while leaving its red road design unchanged, which creates an oddly mismatched set:

• Texas-Arlington has switched from Adidas to Under Armour. The good news is that they no longer have the conference's worst shorts; the bad news is that they now have the conference's worst jersey, thanks to a white-on-white chest insignia that will be impossible to read from more than a few inches away:

On the plus side, the Roadrunners' new floor design is a beauty, as long as you're OK with a blue court (additional info here):

The Gaels also have a new court design this season:

• San Francisco will be getting new green uniforms later this season, most likely after Christmas. Meanwhile, here are some photos of the school's new locker rooms.

Additional Notes

• Players wearing braces, casts or other rigid protective devices will now be able to cover those devices with padding.

• A bunch of schools will wear turquoise uniforms in November for Native American Heritage Month, as part of Nike's long-running N7 program.
