Kentucky unveils new helmets in advance of showdown with Florida

Last week, the Kentucky Wildcats debuted new grey and blue uniforms in their victory over the Ohio Bobcats in Lexington.

This week, the Cats have unveiled new helmets in advance of Saturday’s showdown with the Florida Gators in the Swamp in Gainesville. Kentucky will be taking the field in all-new matte white helmets with blue chrome facemasks, UK logos and stripes across the top.

Here’s a sneak peak at those helmets, courtesy of the popular Twitter account Uniswag:

The Wildcats will wear white uniforms on the road to accompany those new helmets.

It’s a solid look fill with both style and substance, and Kentucky hopes the new helmets can help it snap its current 27-game losing streak to Florida.
