Broken Record Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Just saw a picture of Kentucky in the newspaper today and they were wearing throwback helmets. Anybody know the story on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 These were worn last week against Ohio. NEw look didn't help. They lost 28-10. These aren't true throwbacks, the actual helmet was a white shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Record Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Thanks for the info MJ. I was really curious. On the UK athletic website they are listed as throwbacks, but that really confused me because I don't recall seeing this design before.You are right, Kentucky needs a lot more help than new unis will give them!

Jaybird Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I think that they were a reverse design of the helmets that the UK Wildcats used in 1973, the first year that their football stadium, Commonwealth Stadium, opened. I saw some of the pictures and the helmets were actually white with blue stripes and gray facemasks and had the logo of a map of Kentucky with a wildcat's head on it. Atlanta Braves, please bring back the Indian Head logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 True throwbacks rule, pseudo-throwbacks suck. Reminds me of 1995 when the Bills slapped a white standing buffalo on thier red helmets. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
