Need to see that on a basketball uniform. Noticed recruits are taking pics with it, maybe nike will come up with something for basketball.

The birds humping logo has been around since 2016, looks too much like AI copied the K-State logo to be less blocky, and has run it's course. It's time for another "modern" rebranding with Nike. Love the Power K as a throwback uniform, but not an everyday uniform. Much like the Denims in Basketball. Like it for one game, but it wouldn't work as the base uniform every night. The "Phallic" Tongue Cat probably isn't coming back either. The current interlocking UK looks too much like Houston's logo. Some teams can get away with the same logo for 75 years and unchanged uniforms (Alabama), some teams do too much with experimental uniforms (Oregon), but staying modern and looking "good" to potential recruits is pretty important.

It’s a little bit of both I hate how it looks like an I with a weird thing hanging off of it, the middle of it is like off center or something in comparison to the modern UK logo.

I don’t hate it entirely, I’d be fine if we played quarter to half of the games in it but I saw people saw they want to replace the modern logo entirely even on the basketball jerseys but I’m simply not nostalgic enough to like it that much.

Vhcat1970 ^ comment above me talking about putting it on every basketball jersey must either be old or likes ugly designs

Well you’re in the VAST, vast minority. Matter of fact there are so few of you who thing that it doesn’t even make a minority. It’s not the power K that’s the issue, your taste just doesn’t hit the mark. The power K was praised as a fanbase, across the state, and nationally. The players LOVED that uniform. I am friends with a UK D lineman, he said the players thought it was the best they’ve worn yet. Like I said, it’s just you.

The power K uniform and helmet is by far the most popular look bar none, period. So you’re entitled to your opinion but if an opinion on taste could be wrong, it would be yours.

Coming back from the LSU game, it’s all fans in Lexington were talking about. Going to work that Monday, it was the only thing people I work with were talking about. There is no getting around how beautiful and awesome the power K is.

BS on the VAST VAST Minority. Keep injecting yourself with "Power K". It's OK, it was even great IN THE 70's. It's from our past. It's a great look for a throwback, but thats about it. So why dont you and the VAST VAST majority come join us in the here and now lol. Thanks.

I don't think we ever went far enough with the checkerboard idea. These concept uniforms really pop. They'd look even better with Kroger and the "birds having sex" wildcat logos on them.

The checkboard crap was probably our worst look ever. The actual checkerboard sleeve crap was just that. Crap. Glad they are gone.

You can keep saying your BS until you actually believe it, and while I and the VAST majority think the power K looks way better than the UK, I think even more of a majority will agree that it looks way way better than the missionary birds.

I hate the basketball uniforms, that absolutely shouldn't be our permanent look.
These should be the permanent uniforms.

100 percent agree with you brother. 1992 or 1978 should be our forever uniform. I like the 1992's better, the solid color waistband looks less IU.
