They both suck

I'm not a huge fan of the checkerboard. But I like winning online polls. All the same, I would prefer a redesign on our jerseys.

As much as I hate them, Kansas retro and Duke homes are the best looking jerseys in basketball.

If Kentucky would get it’s head out of its ***, we are capable of some of the best looking jerseys in basketball and football. Our baseball team is proof.

Here's another contest that you can vote on.

Our checkerboard uniforms are absolute ***. Incredible that we still have them. We could have the best uniforms in the country.

Voted

My guess is Kentucky/Nike are trying to give the checkers enough time to become tradition/iconic before discussing a change, similar to the UNCheat argyle. We may not like it now (or ever), but it 20 more years it could be a Kentucky basketball tradition. I don't mind the checkers, but just wish they were a little more subdued. In fact, there isn't hardly anything I like about these current Nike unis. I say, keep the checkers, but get a redesign.

The blue on blue checkerboards are all right. They should go with that if they have to stick with it.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Until those checkerboards are back to only the belt line....... I'm voting for any other teams jerseys out of protest.

Sucks that the absolute worst jerseys of the Cal era have also gone the longest without a redesign.

Also coincides with our Final Four drought.

They're just trolling at this point with the checkers.

I don't really mind them because they are synonymous with winning championships like Secretariat. I have read and heard others say they liked Kentucky's uniforms, I don't know how cool you can get but two historic programs in college football don't need any flashy uniforms. Alabama and Penn State don't need anything changed to be among the best, evidently a lot of people do like Kentucky's or we wouldn't still be wearing them.

It's not that they aren't flashy, they're just butt ugly

I wish they'd go back to something simple like this:

But Tennessee had it first, so we're basically copying them. It's not our tradition and never will be.

The checkerboard thing is a complete rip off.

Best jerseys we have had in the last 20 years.

 

[K-Town Kat]

I really liked the alternate jerseys we wore in, I believe, 2014. They had the arched Kentucky and were kind of a blend of classic and modern. They were very nice.

I also thought the Tubby-era jerseys circa 2002-2003 were very well done.

I think the arched Kentucky and just a more clean look is the best look.

Technically we used it before they did. We just didn't continually use it.

Checkerboard has always been associated with UT, to me.

 

[CatfanMike47]

i think they’re ugly myself! I liked the ones from last summer better! Nothing flashy just simple!

 

[MWes11]

Agree. We have had great jerseys in the past. I don't like the eye popping checkerboard, but I get that it is part of the history. Just make it more subtle like the jerseys below:

Or...

But let's be grateful... we could be Adidas..

 

[FrankUnderwood]

I like our jerseys

Those are so clean.

I'm not as big of a hater of our uniforms as most, but we can obviously do better. I really don't understand why we don't do retro jerseys, especially with 90's fashion in style right now. I don't care what anyone says. Give us a couple games with the denims, the icicles, etc.

 

[JesusCal91]

I don’t hate the checkers. I’d like to see a throwback with the script like Michigan St and Kansas use those are cool

 

[Greasy Creak Mafia]

The 04 SEC Tourney is when the entire conference had a retro theme. That would be the perfect / classic uniform/ jersey.

I wish they'd go back to something simple like this:

That SEC tourney had the best uniforms. New fitted to today's lengths etc but spot on traditional and that's what a blue blood should try for.

I think Nike and UK’s decision on the checkerboard look had nothing to do with Tennessee but an attempt to tie in the Secretariat blue checkerboard look and the horse racing notoriety from the Bluegrass region. Greatest race horse in history and the greatest college basketball program in history.

 

[BleedBlue32]

Checkerboard would be much better if it were more subtle. Like these we wore against Maryland that time:

Or these from 2015:

Sadly, the current uniforms are probably the ugliest we've had in a long time and it doesn't look like they will be going anywhere. At least the football team is making history in theirs lol
