When it comes to uniforms, you never know what you’re going to see.After some buzz early in the week about UK wearing gray uniforms for Mississippi State was shot down by Mark Stoops (“No, absolutely no,” he said when asked to address the rumors on Tuesday.), it turns out the Wildcats will be sporting a never-before-seen look after all.Kentucky will wear custom thigh pads on Thursday night that feature the UK logo and uniform numbers for each player. @UKequipment (the official Twitter account for UK’s equipment staff) gave the first look on Wednesday afternoon.
The @UKFootball thighpads have gotten the @TREDCals treatment for tomorrow night! What do you think? #WeAreUK#uniswag pic.twitter.com/MqdhWCSbhW

UK will wear blue pants with white jersey and blue helmets against the Bulldogs (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN), but here’s how the new thigh pads will look with white pants.
