UK Football Helmet History

Someone showed me this link since it's rumored that UofL would be getting a new helmet design this year. I thought you guys might enjoy the site too. The link is direct to the SEC helmets. A link where you can find all the schools is here.

Of UK's helmet, I think I like the 1997-2002 the best. To "modernize" it, they could inverse the white and blue (but leave the facemask white). I think it'd look pretty sharp.

What do you guys think?

I always liked the 1990-96 helmets with the outlined block K.

I also really like the three variants with the wildcat-head logo: 1963-68 (wildcat on the right side, player’s number on the left), 1973-74 (wildcat head over an outline of Kentucky), and October 2, 2004 (1973-74 design with the colors inverted).

I’ve never really liked the interlocking block UK that’s been used since 1997. (Though the university “UK” logo with the Memorial Hall outline between the letters is one of the best university logos out there.)
