Kentucky MBB unveils new uniforms for 2022-23 season

The Kentucky men’s basketball team has unveiled a brand new look for the upcoming 2022-23 season.

After five seasons of the same uniforms, change is here, with the Wildcats transitioning to a more traditional look at Rupp Arena — one without checkerboards.

The first permanent uniform change since the 2016-17 season, Kentucky is set to wear white jerseys at home with curved lettering and silky blue trim. It also features a gold UK logo on the neck, a nod to the program’s status as the gold standard of college basketball.

It’s similar to the look the Wildcats showed off against the Dominican Republic National Select Team and Carleton University in the Bahamas.

Enter stage right.

Kentucky has kept the same basketball uniform combo every season since 2016-17 after several different iterations and designs throughout the start of the John Calipari era in Lexington. The team regularly rolled out unique one-game combos for high-profile matchups, highlighted by new fonts, colors and designs.

Since 2016, though, the special edition uniforms have been few and far between. The team wore an alternate uniform for one game last season, a gray colorway just a shade darker than the traditional white.

Now, a brand new look is here to stay for the Wildcats.

What do you think, BBN?
