After designing the horrible Oregon football uniforms (pictured here), and adding duct tape to Syracuse’s basketball uniforms (which you can find here), Nike may have successfully one-upped itself in designing Kentucky’s new men’s basketball uniforms.
Take a look at these beauties.

I’m no fashionista, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say these are just horrible. Adolph Rupp just rolled over in his grave.
First of all, they’re big enough to be pajamas - which you can see if you look here.
Secondly, somebody should tell Nike that the checkerboard design should be reserved for men’s ties, throw pillows and, um, checkerboards.
I’d say somebody needs to stop them, but I’m afraid it’s a little too late for that.
