Per Kyle Tucker, UK will be unveiling new permanent uniforms next season and will no longer be wearing checkerboard uniforms.
New (permanent) uniforms coming next season!
- Thread starter TyCatPrice14
- Start date
Permanent until the next iteration.
About damn time. Maybe new unis will help remove whatever curse we've been under in recent years.
Does Mr. 00 come with other uniform?Bring 'em back!
Cal - well Mitch they’re not very bright just tell them something about being here to win championships and they’ll go away.
Mitch - Don’t think that’ll work but I’ll do it. We need more though.
Cal - Well they’ve bitched about these uniforms for years now. Have Nike draw something up. Maybe it’s time to quit f’n with them on the uniform front. That’ll shut Bennie and Richie up for at least a few years.
Mitch - but I like the uniforms.
Cal - get rid of the uniforms.
Mitch - gaahh okay. Yes sir I’ll get it done.

Instead of checkerboards it will be chess boards
Listen Nike this shit isn’t hard. Looking good in a uniform might be the easiest thing to pull off. Hell you don’t even have to start from scratch. You don’t have to pay me. Just look at baseball and mirror it.
Another free piece of advice. Keep the state logo on the front of the uniforms from this season. It really sets it off and it looks great. But I’m sure you won’t, because I mean why try to make them look good? Makes no sense. Who cares what we wear amirite? Looking like shit is just neutral to people.

Still waiting on tucker to call out Cal for his lies about Sharpe. He's probably been too busy on this uniform article.....eye roll
Simple but sharp.
Simple and sharp is the way to go with this fan base. The Tubby era jerseys were straight and to the point. I was fine with our jerseys in the first part of Cal's tenure.
Somehow some way Nike will **** this up and I'll hate the new ones. The two birds logo us an abomination. While the new UK interlocking logo is fine, Mitch got ripped off by whatever firm he paid to come up with that to replace the interlocking UK we had under Tubby.
While I'm ranting....bring back the Power K on our football helmets, and bring back the Penis Tongue Cat logo. That was the greatest UK logo of all our logos over the years.

You thought they'd have learned....nope, uniforms getting a lifetime contract too....
Those were from the Golden Age of UK basketball and entertainment in general.Bring 'em back!
WildcatfaninOhio
All-American
Permanent? Like...tattooed onto the players' bodies?
Different!
Different!
While I'm glad the ugly checkerboard is going away, I'll save my excitement until I actually see the uniforms
So, Mitch throws BBN a bone. Amazing what happens when someone has to start worrying about their job.

Why do they not sell these??
The home "Wildcats" jersey is straight fire.
I remember those, and they were hideous!Bring 'em back!
I'm all for the pinstripes!!Listen Nike this shit isn’t hard. Looking good in a uniform might be the easiest thing to pull off. Hell you don’t even have to start from scratch. You don’t have to pay me. Just look at baseball and mirror it.

The UK basketball uniform is the least of our worries. We have serious problems and UK concentrates on checker boards . Changing the uniform will not put fans in the seats of Rupp. Beating somebody might
There will be just as many people who complain about them as the checkerboards and every announcer/color commentary person that calls our games. Personally, I don't care what they are wearing. This is just a meager attempt to look like they are fixing something.
Mitch is obviously an outstanding AD but marketing is not one of his strengths. NIKE designers can only be as good as he allows them to be.
I hope he has some genius hidden away in his marketing dept that helps him "design" the new uniforms.
Or better yet, hire a top ad agency to redesign our look. Be bold!

Yes but it is a fun distraction to get away from those issues for a while.
Mitch must not have liked getting called out by the Tennessee Basketball on Twitter. I need to send a thank you letter to whoever runs that account. Like others have said though, I’ll wait and see before I get too excited. I still don’t trust Nike to get it right.
The Rupp floor is laughable with those two huge generic stickers for Central Bank
Looks so cheap & pathetic - sort of like the uniforms to be honest with those stupid checkerboards running all the way down both sides
