Best uniforms hands down. Simple but stylish. Bring this sh*t back. Screw the checkerboards.
I love the checkers. Just think the cut around the neck and shoulders looks atrocious.
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
They should fully commit to the checkers. Checkerboard pattern covering the entire uniform. Same unis for home and away.
You are one of the few posters that usually hits the nail on the head. Keep on keeping on.And UK loves you.
Everybody wants to be Tennessee. Why? I have no ideaThe 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!
Why Mitch has us looking like clowns I'll never know. After what we wear in football, no one should ever make fun of Indiana.
Nike made a retro uniform back in 2014 which I think the team only wore once but they looked really nice. Hopefully this is the last year of the checkerboard.I wish we could go back to arched Kentucky lettering across the front
Do they change them every two years? Or just when they feel like it?
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.
[laughing]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."
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.

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.

what chatter you hearingA lot of chatter about this being the year for the change. We will see.
what chatter you hearing
In hate Alabama football, but this is 100 percent ********We are like an Alabama football. Only by and far away better at basketball than they are at football but...
ok so fandom is now determined by your fashion sense?Do me a favor and reread his/her post and tell me he/she is a UK fan:
No way can I picture us going to a Final Four with the checkerboard uniforms. Change and be doomed.
