They may have stolen it from Tennessee, but when I think of blue and white checkerboard patterns I immediately think of Secretariat, horse racing and the Kentucky Derby. You are right on both accounts. The checkerboards are an homage to Secretariat, and they seem to be very unpopular among UK fans. I referred to them as the "Tennessee checkboards" as sarcasm. AD Mitch Barnhardt has taken a stance that they're not going anywhere and it's not up for discussion, so I guess it's settled for the foreseeable future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same guy who thinks the awkward/bent UK logo is better, right? Mitch's taste will be pretty awful until they bring back the big block K. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of us UK fans that miss the Power K, but usually in peoples minds now refers to the dark times when the football team was weak. I mean, they still are not where they need to be yet, but it would be nice to represent the early-mid 80's for a throwback uni today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the use of the pattern is bad looking in a vacuum, but within the context of being a visual staple for a rival it's an astronomically dumb decision to keep pushing it so hard.

_DietDrPepper_ Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 My relationship with UK’s checkers are split, I liked the idea of tying into the race horse patterns and jockey patterns but, and I mean this more towards our basketball uniforms, why can’t we just have a classic look, I think, even on the football uniforms, the checkers look too young for such a established program. And not to mention, it’s the pattern of our conference rivals. I would love to see the football uniforms return to something simpler. At least drop the chrome please. And for the basketball team to return to something like we had during the Rupp era. Duke and North Carolina haven’t touched their primaries or have gone back to their classic uniforms while we have this bad take at a modern uniform. I mean it’s not as bad as 2015, but we could look so much better. 3 Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that teams are allowed 85 scholarships plus however many walk-ons, so it is very realistic to have over 100 players and not have enough numbers for everyone. This is not even getting into the fact that each position may wear certain numbers, dictating number availability. It wouldn’t be possible without duplicates. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also the issue that pops up when schools retire a jersey in honor of former player and actually take that number out of circulation, as opposed to continuing to use it but having honorary patches on a current player’s uniform.

It's rare, but I recall a few times in the past that Nebraska had two special teams guys with the same number. Usually like a TE and then a LB or DB. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
