Tennessee fans hammer Kentucky after Wildcats reveal uniform combination for LSU
The Wildcats are some copycats, at least according to Vol Twitter.
On Friday, Kentucky revealed that Mark Stoops’ troops will wear black, er, anthracite, jerseys on Saturday night against LSU. UK’s announcement comes a few days after UT announced special black jerseys for Saturday’s game against South Carolina. Vol Twitter is not amused that another SEC East team is wearing similarly colored jerseys in Week 6.
Here’s a sample of some of the tweets about the similar uniform combos:
They copy the checkerboard, they award themselves a fake national championship from the 50’s, now they copy the black UT uniforms. Is there a more insufferable program? The answer is yes, Vanderbilt https://t.co/WvJ6CA2taz

Just like the newfound use of checkerboards

Somebody in #voltwitter literally asked how long before #BBN announced their dark unis the day that UT released theirs. @SwainEvent this is great. They call their black anthracite so it seems they aren’t copying the Vols again. https://t.co/QRs60SXn0Y

One big difference between the combos is that Tennessee is wearing white helmets while the Wildcats will sport the chrome domes.
The Tennessee-South Carolina game kicks off at noon Eastern while Kentucky-LSU is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
