When we first got the checkerboards I liked the homage to Secretariat. It was a cool thing and we had not done anything with the uniforms to church them up in quite sometime. The problem we are having now is that we are doing too much and at the same time not enough. If we are going to be an Oregon and change the uniforms as much as we do then we need them to be way better than what they are. We need to go retro, black, silver, monochrome, shiny, etc... Or we go the way of Indiana, Duke, UNC, Kansas, Yankees, Red Sox, Celtics, etc... and we wear classic uniforms all the time. Our inbetween is just not good.
You mean the two birds f*cking?while we are at it can we get rid of that dam ugly cat somebody came up with that looks like another schools mascot
I'll admit I didn't know about the Secretariat connection until recently, but I'm still not sure I get it.
Secretariat was born and reared in Virginia, not Kentucky, right? Why should the Kentucky basketball and football uniforms be designed in honor of a horse from Virginia?
I don't want any player that cares enough about the uniforms to make a decision based on thatit's not as much about the look and design as it is about the players not liking them. If our players don't like them, then there are recruits that don't like them. And that's the most important thing of all. And if you don't think it matters to recruits what they wear, then you are very old, or extremely conservative. This goes to everyone that doesn't understand the uniform debate. I think most would agree that if 99% of the fans hate a certain look, but the players like it, then we stay with the uniforms.
you don't choose players. Also, what if Vernon Carey or James Wiseman care enough???I don't want any player that cares enough about the uniforms to make a decision based on that
Surely you're smart enough to know that the people who don't like the uniforms are more likely to vote. I think I can speak for us that don't care one way or the other about the them when I say that we have better things to do than to vote in some dumbass pollOver 600 votes, 80% say no or need to be more subtle. The players are probably around the same.
But Mitch thinks his vote is more important than all of them.
When is his retirement?
I never intended to imply that I get to choose the players. My point is that if a recruit's priorities are so far out of whack that he chooses the school based on the uniform design then I don't care if we get him or not and that goes for any recruit you can name.you don't choose players. Also, what if Vernon Carey or James Wiseman care enough???
have you heard of Oregon Football?I never intended to imply that I get to choose the uniforms. My point is that if a recruit's priorities are so far out of whack that he chooses the school based on the uniform design then I don't care if we get him or not and that goes for any recruit you can name.
I’m going to tear this apart. I’m sorry.
First secretariat is a Kentuckian. Period! He spent almost all his life at Claiborne farm not only as a Kentuckian but also retiring in the bluegrass. I’m not going to get into his bloodlines but check them out sometime.
Second. His silks were blue and white just as UK colors. Not crappy baby blue but UK blue and white. The greatest horse of all time some argue just as UK is the greatest program. The horse that set the record at the “Kentucky Derby”.
Back to his birthplace. If birthplace is a requirement of honor then why honor Adolph rupp?? I mean he played at Kansas. Why honor any of our players that were born and “reared” elsewhere?? Horse racing in the bluegrass has more fame than our storied hoops program and no horse is more well known than secretariat who just happened to share colors of our school.
Pardon me if I'm mistaken, but Secretariat did not move to Claiborne Farm until he was retired from racing, right? His racing career occurred when he still resided at the Meadow stable in Virginia, correct? So Virginia is not only were he was "born", it's also where he was reared, raised, trained and achieved greatness.
So, in that sense, I think there is a distinction between this and your Rupp example. Rupp might've been from Kansas, but his greatest accomplishments all occurred in Kentucky. But that's NOT the case with Secretariat, who did not move to Ky until after his racing career and greatest achievements had passed.
And, yes, I do acknowledge the silliness of having a debate over which state gets to claim a horse.
Ditto. Uniforms are probably further down on my list than yours.
Only if you get rid of that avatar pic.while we are at it can we get rid of that dam ugly cat somebody came up with that looks like another schools mascot
Better things to do like you bitching about those who vote in the poll and taking the time to post about it? Is that what you mean?Surely you're smart enough to know that the people who don't like the uniforms are more likely to vote. I think I can speak for us that don't care one way or the other about the them when I say that we have better things to do than to vote in some dumbass poll
well I wouldn’t say I was bitching about the voters but yep that’s what I meanBetter things to do like you bitching about those who vote in the poll and taking the time to post about it? Is that what you mean?
So sick of Mitch and his know-it-all, holier-than-thou attitude. He can't retire soon enough.Over 600 votes, 80% say no or need to be more subtle. The players are probably around the same.
But Mitch thinks his vote is more important than all of them.
When is his retirement?
Cal should choose his predecessor, whenever that day comes.
Did you mean: "no, checks dumb" or "no checks, dumb?" Could be read either way here...no Checks dumb
Nothing compares to these throwbacks...they were absolute perfection,
Barney got a little feisty in that interview over nothing.

I have only read a few posts in this thread, and while I am a KSR fan, I haven’t heard the interview yet.
I must say though that I don’t at all get the uproar. Are they my favorite uniforms? Probability not. But I have seen much worse, and I don’t hate them. Sounds like maybe the players don’t care for them, but if it’s a huge issue for them, they should be the ones to go to Cal and Mitch..........which leads me to believe this is mostly media and fan driven. Why don’t we just let the players, the people who actually wear them, take care of it?
As I stated, I’m a KSR fan, but Matt and the crew make me scratch my head sometimes when they get on one of their obsessive tangents such as this. And there are other instances I could name.
Only at Kentucky, I guess.
Right, I know. I have heard at least two or three of the players myself say they don’t like them. But my point is it must not be that big of a deal to them. I haven’t heard any of them say they have complained to Cal or Mitch. I would think that would carry much more weight than fans complaining.Believe some of the players have expressed they don't like them either. .
UNC Duke Kansas Ucla. All have better looking uniforms that match a traditional way. I like that we separate ourselves, but not like this. I'm ready for a sweet looking simple design like Duke for once.
Check out our baseball uniforms and tell me you definitely wouldn't prefer them.
