This coming Saturday, Kentucky football will wear its black uniforms for the Halloween night contest with archenemy Tennessee. The rivalry game is being billed as a blackout in Commonwealth Stadium as fans are encouraged to join the team in wearing all black gear.
Saturday’s game will mark the seventh time Kentucky took the home field in its black unis. The dark, alternate look debuted four years ago on Halloween weekend, when the Cats hosted Mississippi State.
Beginning with that first blackout in 2011, Kentucky holds a 2-4 record in its black uniforms. To be fair, Kentucky was the underdog in all six of those games.
