In case you haven’t heard, word broke over the weekend that the Kentucky football team will sport new uniforms for the 2008 season. It is being reported that Nike has elected to take the Oregon approach with UK, and will offer several different uniform combinations for the Cats to scare away their opponents with.
What will they look like? Who knows. I myself can’t wait to see the new get-up as I love me a good college football uni.
Let’s just pray they don’t look anything like OSU.
Let the speculation begin!

IMHO both Oregon schools crap horrible uni’s.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:05 pm
Hahaha…OSU looks decent in the all black and some orange. Hopefully we’ll look snazzy.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The unheard of trifecta, Whatup!?
December 18th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Foot in mouth, right now.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
How about this: White shoes, white pants, white jerseys with white lettering outlined in white.
Blue helmets.
beautiful.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
How many different combinations can they honestly come up with? We aren’t like Oregon in that we have a three-color scheme to work from. It’s blue and white. Don’t bring black or silver/gray in. That’s ridiculous.
Am looking forward to seeing them, though.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
I think all black with blue lettering would be pretty bad ass…thats just me
December 18th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
I have always hated the blue helments. I much prefer the white with the large “K”. As for the unis, I don’t like the current ones because they have a fleece look to me. I don’t think the blue is correct either.
Please do not go with the either of the picture looks however.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
The “Ducks” are famous because of those Nike Uniforms - the other PAC10 schools wish the had Phil Knight’s money backing their programs.
Hopefully, UK will be the envy of the SEC
It’s just too bad we don’t have Knight’s money too

I’m hearing that Billy G has not signed his contract yet because of a morals clause being added. Per his being kicked out of more Bars in Lexington than Matt Jones.

#11 and #12 I hope you joking and not for Matt Jones’ sake HAHAHA…sorry matt.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
serious about the morals clause.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
UK’s Blue & White - how will they change
Remember, Oregon’s colors were Green and Black before the Nike makeover
The Beavers were Orange and Black
I expect a change with the new UK uniforms
December 18th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
I don’t want to look like Oregon but not because there ugly, there
Oregon’s uniforms not ours. I don’t care if there ugly as long as they
stand out. It is all about marketing. Sometimes a really ugly uniform
brings alot of attention and creates an idenity.
Someone mentioned a black uniform with blue lettering. I like that.
The uniforms haven’t really been that bad for UK. It is the helmet that
is kind of boring. They need to come up with something more modern with the
helmet
December 18th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
#15 - Umm, I’m pretty certain they were Green and Gold before Nike got their hands on the Ducks. Here’s a pic of their Dan Fouts-era helmets:

I heard they were bringing back the denims…
December 18th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
I support denim jerseys.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
Well in other footballl news..Sam Robey committed to Florida.Good for him,bad for in state recruiting.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
God help us if UK incorporates black like the pieces of trash due west. I’d have to believe Brooks has at least a couple contacts at Nike, hell, Oregon plays on Rich Brooks Field. I loved the throwback helmets and jerseys from the Ohio game a few years back…and no, I’m not superstitious.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Sam Robey to Florida will not hurt UK in the long run.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
Yeah, let’s incorporate black into our uniforms…
That way our football uni’s will look like Duke basketball. Great idea 8 & 16.

What if the offensive line takes a hit next year like the running backs?Granted Pulley will be more adapt to tuck it in and run,but you saw what happened to Oregons season when they lost their starter.Plus you cant lose kids to other schools,the greta thing about this years class is the other offers they recieved and still picked Kentucky.Maybe a sign of things to come or a one and done situation?
December 18th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
First of all…Duke has a football team…seriosuly…?
Really black and blue would look good….
December 18th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
I am praying they don’t incorporate those tire treads like the Ducks have. I don’t think it is very intimidating to look like you just got run over by a truck before taking the field.
December 18th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
And if you’re Bowden,how do you let this cheating scandal take place?It’s been my opinion that he’s been nothing more than a figure head for the last several years.Complete loss of the program.
December 18th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
25 I think we’d look too much like the Detroit Lions. I don’t want any association with them.
December 18th, 2007 at 5:19 pm
Our fans are too old fashioned… a white helmet with a block K? no black? is this 1974? That would look good for a throw-back type game but not for the whole season. I’d love for UK to have a black alternative uni, maybe wear it in a big game. I hope they incorporate white pants with the blue home jerseys instead of all blue… it makes us look like a high-school team IMO.
December 18th, 2007 at 5:19 pm
i love oregons jerseys, i really hate teams that keep it the same every year, i like ours now, but i bet they’ll look good
December 18th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
btw its not tire treads on oregon, its diamond plating, but good try
December 18th, 2007 at 5:31 pm
looks like tire treads
December 18th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Better play some good football if you are going to dress the part.
December 18th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Doesn’t anyone else think those spotted kneepads on the Oregon uni’s, look gay?
December 18th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
I think Oregon has one of the best uniforms in college.They seperate themselves by not being the norm.Ask the players what they think and thats all that should matter!
December 18th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
#32! ITS DIAMOND PLATING, NOT TIRE TREADS!!
Just saying that sounds stupid. Here’s to no tire, ehrr, diamond plating on the new unis.
Maybe they will put a little Wildcat tail on the back of the pants, like our faithful mascot? Now, that would be cool.
December 18th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Why don’t we just take up wearing orange and white and calling ourselves tennessee. RETARDS. Blue and White, thats the way it is. Adding any other color is as wrong as two boys Fu****g.
December 18th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
You can tell me it’s waffle cone imprints, I still don’t care.
They still look like tire treads.
December 18th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
louisville has black-out games…maybe we should incorporate black and do that as well….
NOT!
maybe use silver or gray as a third color, but the above poster who mentioned duke was right on target…we don’t need black to make us bad ass, we need more guys running sub 4.4 forties and corn-fed linemen…i would maybe like to see some more modern swoops and swirls, but no black lest we become too much like our citified neighbors or sissified dukies…
December 18th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
OK fine it’s diamond plating. So instead of tire treads it looks like they were knocked down a flight of stairs at a power plant and then stomped on to permanently imbed the marks into the uniform. Still unintimidating to me.
December 18th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
Seriously, no more Nike gimmics. The problem is that UKAA should hold Nike by the short hairs instead of the way it is now.
White pants, blue shirts, white hats, black shoes. Did Alabama change their unis to get attention? How about Penn State, Michigan, Florida State, Texas, Nebraska, Tennessee, Georgia, blah, blah, blah. Tradition sells itself (feel free to define tradition as you please, it’s not up for arguement).
You yonkers can take your flashy bull $h!t. It’s ugly.
December 18th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Add a gray outline to the numbers and change the font.
December 18th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
A post at Wildcats Thunder quotes Mitch Barnhart as saying the uniforms will NOT be like Oregons. Collective sigh of relief.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
Why doesn’t NIke change our basektball uniforms. They are the ugliest things I’ve ever seen. And we’ve sucked ever since we changed them.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
The Oklahoma State uniforms are sweeeeetttt!
December 18th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
i agree number 9. I want the cats to go back to the old white helmets with the blue uk writing.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
NO BLACK ON THE UNIFORM……..Less is more when it comes to UK. Blue and white. If they do change them I would like to see the stripes on the shoulder pads similar to the Indy Colts. UK wore thoose uni’s for a game a few years ago and looked great.
December 18th, 2007 at 10:43 pm
We aren’t Louisville and we aren’t in the Pac-10. I’m not completely against change, I jus’t don’t want them to look stupid and loud like Oregon and OSU’s uniforms.
December 19th, 2007 at 8:27 am
#45 I believe that is Oregon St. and not Oklahoma St.
December 19th, 2007 at 9:14 am
Wish they had signed a contract with UnderArmour, they are the new big thing.
