WATCH: Kentucky football unveils new jerseys for 2023 season

The 2023 college football season is right around the corner. We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. When Kentucky takes the field in Week 1 against Ball State, the Wildcats will be sporting some brand-new jerseys.

On multiple social media platforms, Kentucky released a short video of what the new home jerseys will look like the season with sophomore wide receiver Dane Key doing the modeling at Kroger Field. The checkerboards are officially gone.

The alternate logo is here to stay and will appear on the shoulder replacing what used to be blue and white checkerboards. Kentucky’s helmets appear to be the same, but there is a big difference in font, and the numbers look much different both on the front and back of the jerseys. The pants include stripes down the side. These look similar to some of the old-school additions we saw back when Tim Couch was throwing the ball around the yard for head coach Hal Mumme and offensive coordinator Mike Leach.

Kentucky Media Day coverage

On Friday morning, the Kentucky football program will open its doors to members of the media. For over two hours, we will hear from head coach Mark Stoops, offensive coordinator Liam Coen, defensive coordinator Brad White, and numerous players. Matt Jones and the KSR radio crew will be on-site and live on radio during the event.

Once on the turf at Kroger Field, we will get a closer look at this year’s jerseys as all of the players will be dressed out for the team picture. Stay tuned for updates and more photos of the new uniforms.

Football is coming.
