Mayor’s orders.
According to Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton, Friday and Saturday of this week have been officially declared Blue-White Day(s) to celebrate Kentucky football’s historic 2018 season and the beginning of yet another promising year under head coach Mark Stoops.
Friday, August 30 is College Colors Day throughout the nation and Kentucky opens the season against Toledo on Saturday at noon. Instead of choosing just one day to celebrate, Gorton announced that those in the Lexington area are encouraged to wear blue or white on both Friday and Saturday to support the Wildcats.
“Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare August 30-31, 2019, Blue – White Day in Lexington, and encourage every member of the Big Blue Nation to wear their blue and white on Friday and Saturday to support the Cats!
