I'm hoping the whole set just transfers over, but I'm sure Nike will change up something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I missed this, but apparently Kentucky ran a Super Bowl commercial in local markets that teased new uniforms. If you watch the last 10-20 seconds you’ll see them here. Of note: much simpler design on the new Nike template with the Kentucky chest wordmark, wildcat design on the sleeves, gray outline on numbers, simple double stripe on pants, standard helmets with contrasting facemasks, tonal checkerboard on the collar. No signs of black, anthracite, or chrome at this point. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad we know anthracite will probably still be in the rotation, but getting rid of the Secretariat sleeves is the best part of that move. I saw some mockups of the leaks on Instagram so if they go by what I saw, they should be in good shape uniform wise. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Really like that look for Kentucky. The subtle checker pattern in the collar seems like it works really well. Super glad to see simpler pants striping and no gimmicky shoehorned colors. Not a huge fan of their Wildcat logo, but it works fine on the sleeve caps. Interesting to see Kentucky of all schools being among the first to switch to the Vapor Fusion template. 2 Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll see most of the big Nike schools switching over this year. The only reason TCU didn't switch over is the amount of time required to apply the yoke patterns on their uniforms. Ohio State, Georgia and Michigan don't have those issues. Tennessee has been wanting to jump on these for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I'm not a fan of the new wildcat logo for UK, but those are going to be a massive improvement over what they've had 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 The three blue horizontal stripes in the video almost seemed like a change/homage to the Hal Mumme days...but glad they went with fewer stripes. The helmets with contrasting facemasks are a good look. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1908_Cubs Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Kentucky looks to be consolidating their looks. They dumped the checkerboard on the basketball uniforms this year and looks to be doing the same with the football uniforms. The striping pattern on the pants looks reminiscent of the stripes on the new basketball as well. With that said, the basketball team has done two things this year that makes me wonder if we'll see similar: 1. They've leaned heavily into some retro uniforms. Could UK bring back the Power K throw backs to, say, the Tim Couch era? 2. They also brought out black uniforms. Expect the football team to do the same. As a UK fan, I also expect a chrome dome somewhere. I don't like it (I hate them) but they've got a lot of "lore" around them being worn in the Citrus Bowl twice in 5 years, and being apart of some of the bigger wins so I cannot imagine they'll dump them fully. They're the "big game look"...I doubt they'll be gone. At the very least I hope they go away from the gray chrome to a blue chrome; it's not a great look still, but it'll beat the silver/white combo they have been keen on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokecat12 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 On the UK subject, If they would bring back for one game, the 82-89 UK uniforms, with the Power K helmet, i would buy that in a heartbeat. That is what a lot of us old UK fans would die for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I am stoked the pants have stripes...I was scared if they ever changed they would've went plain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 If I didn't know better, I'd wonder why BYU was wearing the letter K on their helmets. I know the checkerboard era has been divisive for Kentucky fans, but it's been a net positive for their football program, which finally has a look to call their own. 2 1 POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1908_Cubs Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I never hated the checkerboard look, but I think it's gone from the UK aesthetic for a while (maybe for good). I think on it's own it's a good look, but I understand the idea that the checkerboard is also a UT thing, who happens to be one of the larger UK rivals making it wonky. The Power K definitely looks like BYU-East now that you mention it, though. I won't be mad with a little more simple look coming out of this rebrand though. I think the basketball team looks better without the racing stripe checkerboards and I think the football team can put forth a really classy look, especially if they dump the chrome. In theory the black set might be acceptable if left to a single game, and paired with an all black look for a "special" night game (I won't love it, but there's no fighting it's coming, either), but sadly I know they'll go something bad like Black-Blue-Blue once or twice a year, too.

I noticed when Coach Claiborne took over in 82 that the colors were lightened and the unis resembled the BYU unis. Before that it was a darker royal blue. The stripes on the jerseys matched up. BYU was pretty good back then, maybe he was changing to mojo of the Cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
