The blue checkerboard end zones are a nice touch, and the UK logo will change from white to blue. The new playing surface will be synthetic turf.

Here’s a snipit from Kentucky.com laying out the checkerboard patterned end zones:

The clean, classic design features the blue checkerboard “pattern of excellence” based on Secretariat’s silks in both end zones and team areas.

The pattern, based on Secretariat’s silks, has been a part of the UK football uniforms for the past five seasons. The painted end zones, which say “Kentucky” in block letters, were a regular request in the BBN First initiative from last summer where UK solicited feedback from fans about many athletics traditions.

The checkerboard pattern in the end zones was test for the final home game in 2014 and became part of the new field’s look, which was designed by UK athletics administrators as well as Coach Mark Stoops.
