The checkerboard has been the hottest debate around Kentucky Basketball over the last few years.
Introduced in basketball uniforms in 2008 as an tribute to the silks of Triple Crown winner Secretariat, the checkerboard pattern has been used throughout UK Athletics more and more over the years.
However, there’s been an outcry from fans and even players that this was a bad design for the basketball team.
“I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t really like the new uniforms,” said current Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox during his one season at Kentucky.
There was some hope this offseason that the outpour of negativity toward the design would lead to new uniforms.
