Kentucky men’s basketball just released some pre-summer heat, teasing new uniforms for the 2022-23 season. The program posted a video of jerseys past to hint at what’s coming this fall.

The video is already receiving strong reactions from fans, such as, “I’m sick of the checkerboard,” and “Anything but the last 3 jerseys!”

As much as fans would like to have their say in the new uniforms, it’s likely that the program settled on the new designs months ago in order for Nike to begin production.

Kentucky basketball announces details for Bahamas tour in August

The Wildcats are headed back to the Bahamas for their foreign basketball tour, the program announced Thursday.

“Pack your bags, Big Blue Nation, because the Kentucky men’s basketball team is headed back to a memorable destination for a foreign basketball tour this August: the Bahamas,” announced Kentucky Basketball. “The Wildcats will head to the beautiful Baha Mar Resort in Nassau for a four-game, seven-day trip from Aug. 8-14. UK will train at the world-class resort and play four games during its stay as it prepares for the 2022-23 season.
 
“Kentucky will play the Dominican Republic U22 National Team on Aug. 10, Monterey Tech (Mexico) on Aug. 11, Carleton University (Canada) on Aug. 13 and The Bahamas National Team on Aug. 14.”

There’s no better place to start a run to the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Moreover, John Calipari added how excited the Wildcats are to begin their journey at the tropical destination.

“I know our fans are excited as we once again make a trip to the Bahamas,” Calipari said. “This has always been a memorable trip for our teams and our fans, and it has always given us a springboard heading into the season. These games will be a challenge for us and will allow us to grow and see where we are at this point.

“We have a great mix of returning players and newcomers who want to use this opportunity to begin the preparation it takes to win a national title. That’s our goal and it all starts at Baha Mar.”
