UK gets new uniforms

Nike is boring. Stick with the 3 stripes. If a recruit is going to choose a team based on a jersey (especially a Nike one), so be it.

Especially the ones who love the Pro-Combat uni's. I'd like to switch to Nike, but I wouldn't want that trash uni.

I like Dooleys simple approach to uniforms.
Home: Orange Jerseys, white pants
Road: White jerseys, orange pants

Lets keep it that way.

I'd prefer all white, but it's not a big deal.

I like 'em, the checkerboard design on the shoulders is cool.

However, win some damn games, Cats. Who cares if you look cool if you lose?

Much better than the high school unis they have been playing in for the last few years. Still need to go back to the single K on the helmets.

To the best of my knowledge and research, there are 11 schools in the country that Nike has given the opportunity to try out their newest technology. They are:

Ohio State
Alabama
Florida
Boise State
Miami
Oregon State
Pittsburgh
TCU
Virginia Tech
West Virginia
and now Kentucky

This is some of the benefits that I read from UK's website:

Flywire: Neck band stabilization, high strength, low weight and bulk

Zoned ventilation: Mesh in high-sweat areas where there are no pads to interfere with ventilation

Zoned stretch: Lightweight stretch woven fabrics in areas of low impact and low strength requirements

Built-in padding: Additional impact protecting built into key areas of the knee and illiac crest

Baselayer integration: Integrated with Nike Pro Combat baselayer

Tailored: Tailored hems and cuffs for less bulk, more comfort and mobility

The new uniforms are also 30 percent lighter than UK's previous uniforms, a key component in arguably the nation's fastest conference, the Southeastern Conference.

"The Nike Pro Combat is built from the inside out and is all about speed," said Scott, who, along with Nike colleague Kara Hegwood, made the cross-country trip from Oregon for Thursday's presentation. "We know that football has changed dramatically. Athletes are bigger, stronger and faster, so what we are trying to achieve is all about speed -- speed of the game and speed at the end of the game so that you can still have mobility in this system of dress. This is our newest, latest and greatest, and we are pretty pleased with it."

It ain't about the wire and the zones, it about the Jimmy's and the Joes. 26 years 'n counting.

Me too. Although I like the orange shoulders on the away jerseys if I had any say so

Really? See, I'm not a big fan of those either. Our away uniform now is my favorite away look of any of I've seen. I don't know exactly why, it just looks sharp imo.
