Best uniforms hands down. Simple but stylish. Bring this sh*t back. Screw the checkerboards.

Should they change the color of their shoes also to a more exquisite color so you can tweet about fashion you liberal fan... Ridiculous...

Fine tune your team to perfection then worry about "style"... SMH

Eh...to be honest uniform acceptance is 100% public opinion and I gave mine. It's not really a debatable subject because you're not going to convince me otherwise...so

Eh, opinions are like a court trial, someones still wrong even though it's two opinions.

Your taste can suck, you're still ok.

I totally agree with the sentiment that UK basketball is the Red sox, Celtics, Yankees, Alabama etc.... we should have classic uniforms and then wear one offs occasionally. as someone posted the classics we wore in 2005 that were throwbacks to the 70's i really like as an option. I also like these few.

THE 1997 CONVERSE


I loved the 2002 100 years of UK Basketball throwbacks to 1950's i tried to find a better picture but couldn't go look up 12/14/2002 game against michigan st on ukbasketball live for best look at them.


As someone already posted the 2005 SEC tournament throwbacks are fantastic


Finally I'll throw in the football uniform and helmet we should be wearing at least once a year.

If uniforms are the issue then let's go back to the 40's and 50's. Rupp won four NCAA titles wearing the same pattern. If we change back, change to an age we were dominant.

I like tradition, especially if it involves a classic team.....like Alabama football, Boston Celtic, NY Yankees, Green Bay Packers, etc. They remain true to their uniforms. I would like to see UK do the same. The simple arched, not straight, lettering is the best in my opinion......like Bluemoon 725 posted above.

The Mercer jersey was special to me, as well as the throwbacks in '05. Tubby should have grabbed those for future big games.

Mitch 1, BBN 0, and its not going to change. Checkerboards are everywhere!

We have had great games in terrible unis. That said I wish we had something more minimal and old school.

The 2005 throwbacks are the best imo. Idk what the eff these guys are wearing now.

As AD, you would think that if your whole team and coach didnt like them, you would make a change...but of course we are talking about a guy who hired BCG to run the program so....

I was looking back through some
Old yearbooks. Man, Kentucky football and basketball had the pimpest sht through the 70's/80's and 90's.

It's like nowadays Nike tells Barnhart they want to play with the "so ugly
It's hot" look and then some 23 year old Nike fashion designer who's a Duke or Kansas fan gets high and laughs all the way through drawing it up.

I always wonder how high the people who design Oregon's unis are.

Conversation circa 2010:

"Like, man, we'll, like, make em bright green like these dank nugs we're smoking. And then, like, we'll put wings on 'em because they're Ducks .... and .... I. am. so. high. right. now., man. (bong sounds, coughing) Duuuuuude, next week, we'll, like, get to design the court they play on, man. Bill Walton said he'd be our consultant."
