[B]Could our new uniforms possibly look as bad as these pajamas worn by the Oregon Ducks? I Hope Not!!![/B]
There’s been a lot of talk about UK’s new uniforms that will be unveiled this week. Rumors have been flying about the new design and the possibility of having the color black play a prominent role. Could this be the first bad decision from our coach? If the color black is in the uniforms, will the UK traditionalist create uproar? What would Rich Brooks say about this? By the end of the week, we should have the answers to all of these questions….
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]I personally would like to see the uniforms stay blue and white. I’m ok with black trim, but don’t agree with uniforms that are more than 20% black. We’re arguably the best team in the nation and gimmick uniforms don’t really mean much to me. I’m sure Rich Brooks could care less if the CATS wear black uniforms, and I’m sure Coach Calipari will not be asking for his approval.
During last years football season, UK promoted it’s game on Halloween against Mississippi St. as a Blackout. It was even suggested that team wear black uniforms. Rich Brooks responded in a “tweet” (for you non-twitters that’s a twitter message) and later to the media, that the team would not wear black and would only wear blue. He also made comment that UK’s colors were blue and white; not black. This made many fans believe (including myself) that Brooks was set in his ways and didn’t buy into any marketing gimmicks or anything else out of the ordinary.
You could say that new uniforms for this team are a right of passage. Much like the denim uniforms worn by the “Untouchables”, this team deserves similar treatment. The new uniforms could be any number of designs but when it comes to color, many fans believe there’s only two…BLUE and WHITE.
So what does this mean for Calipari? If the basketball team comes out in black uniforms will it be a slap in the face to Coach Brooks and the other UK Fans that hold our traditional blue and white uniforms as a sacred cow? One thing’s for certain, If there’s anyone who is in position to sacrifice sacred cows’ its John Calipari.
