2002-03 season I’m pretty sure. We were the lower seed and wore blue against them in the 99 tournament.
Hmmm that looks like it would probably be the right game judging by the uniforms but do you have any pics of them wearing the warm ups?
Only worn once, in January 2012, against Tennessee.
Strangely enough, I do indeed, buddy. This game was the one. Took me an hour of sleuthing, but found this Wildcat World album on Facebook…
The font for "KENTUCKY" makes it automatically before we went to the new "UK" logo. The interlocking logo was not only tweaked, but the font was slightly changed from that of this full zip jacket to what it is today. I personally like both style fonts, present and former, because it is the "full athletic block" style font. That said, the jacket is also pre-2012 since our 2012 national championship is not on the jacket. No team has worn a full zip jacket in pre-game warm ups--it could be that this jacket (plus bottoms) was issued to players to wear when traveling or in other situations meeting the public. It is also possible that Nike sold this jacket to the public, although that is unlikely since I cannot remember seeing this particular one worn by fans. Just guessing, I would agree and say it is something that dates around 2000-2011, but was not worn during pre-game activities by any team.
Wow man thank you so much. I have tried googling it and looking around myself but I had no idea where to even start trying to find it. Thanks for doing the work for me I really do appreciate it
Thanks for the run down how do you even know all that
I have four of them. Paid $20 each.
those were amazing. they even had the old blue belt in the shorts. 1950s throwbacks.
I’m kind of addicted to vintage/hard to find UK clothes at this point. There’s so much cool stuff out there. I just got an original 1978 title shirt and a 1988 SEC champions shirt in the last week and they’re so cool
Yeah they were super cool. Sucks that we lost that game and they never came back
What game was that?
Really cool find! I snagged a couple more photos in case you weren’t able to see the full album. Might make it a little more valuable.
Wow man super cool. I really appreciate it. I’m never gonna sell it but that for sure makes it more valuable to me knowing someone on our title team wore this! It’s gonna be my ‘big game’ jacket for this season!
