Kentucky to wear chrome helmets, black jerseys for blackout vs. South Carolina

Ethan Levine | 10 years ago

It’ll be a blackout in Lexington tonight for the showdown between Kentucky and South Carolina, and the Cats will don some pretty flashy jerseys for this critical SEC showdown.

Seriously, these things are literally flashy. Kentucky will wear all-chrome helmets with a blue logo, and will wear black uniforms in the spirit of the blackout in the stands.

Here’s a sneak peak of the helmets:
