“Finally” being the operative word. How it took seven years to finally make that change is beyond me. I don’t think anybody but Mitch ever liked them from the start.
Was never a big deal to me and I imagine many other fans who weren't looking for something to complain about.

Can’t tell me these weren’t the truth. Not sure what’s up with the top link.

Man, pre-Cal, Rondo was probably my favorite player. DA, Walker, Mercer and of course Mashburn but I was little when they played.

It actually happens quite fast. It’s not some arduous task that takes time. It’s a fast process. So yeah that’s how it works unless your switching brands and sponsors. So when you point the finger at the forum 4 are pointed right back at yeah.
You are wrong but that’s fine. It’s not a decision you make today and bring new uniforms in next week. Doesn’t work like that but you do you!

Post Cal, Boogie is my absolute favorite. Obviously I love Oscar as well. He’s up there for sure.

Football needs to keep them, it might not look good but the wins keep coming with them. Now the basketball team next year should have a vigil and burn them before the season starts.

I don’t think the football uniforms look bad at all. Especially since they have a ton of alternates. The checkerboard isn’t overdone, imo like the basketball ones.

There should be a ceremonial burning of those damn things. Light it up!!! Let those things burn and bury the ashes under Brad Calipari's bed or inject them into his next Tattoo for all I care, but never want to see those atrocities again. Looked like a 3rd rate low major team's uniform. If this designer was truly a Kentucky fan, he needs to be found and dealt with.

I could get down with this. Just have to make sure the smoke doesn’t get in the atmosphere. You know, going green and all that BS.

I believe those throwbacks were the jerseys from post #25 in this thread. Make them less baggy and more modern fitting and they'd be absolutely fire.
Could be. I posted the ones I was talking about later in it. Didn’t care to read the whole thing.

I remember Joe was one of the first UK players that was always wearing a tee under the jersey. Back then and even in the 80s/90s, it was rare to see tees under the jerseys. Now they wear every kind of strap, flap, band, compression pants, leggings, armings, neckings, headings....
See early 90's UNLV. Actually now that I think about it lots of players wore t-shirts under the jersey in the 90's.

gtfo with that side checkerboard

Pretty sure that is an old one he just shared. He did a bunch of them with a less pronounced checker board prior to announcement of them dropping it. Here are a bunch of others he's done. I like a bunch of them...though we can't have Jordan brand at UK, right??

He's done a ton over the years. Some with stars which were cool. Even added a badge for Joe B which is awesome imo.

Glad this is finally happening!


Indeed as Colonel Sanders would say (when there was talk of Kentucky Fried Chicken's HQ possibly relocating to Tennessee), this ain't no damn Tennessee Fried Chicken! Checkerboards belong at Tennessee and at Cracker Barrell.
