16 Days Until Kansas Football: K-Uniform Report, 2nd Half Predictions
In this story:
Last time, I predicted what Kansas might wear and what they should wear for the first half of this upcoming football season. Take a look below at the criteria that I'm looking for.
So, as I do every year, I predict what KU will be wearing for each of their matchups and I get them wildly wrong. I also let the fine readers of this site know what uniform combination I prefer for each matchup. Warning: I am kind of a football uniform traditionalist, so you'll see lots of blue on here. Another warning: we have no idea what special uniforms KU will trot out this year, but I can almost guarantee that we'll like them better than at least three or four other uniform combos they wear this season. A third warning: I want the games to look as good as possible, so I take into consideration what the opponent will likely be wearing, especially when KU takes to the road, to get a nice looking overall aesthetic. Again, I'm always wrong, but let's see what this season could bring.
Now, on to the second half of the schedule.
Game 7: at Oklahoma
I don't care what they wear in this one. I really don't.
What they'll wear: All White
What they should wear: Blue/White/Blue
Game 8: at Baylor
If you're gonna break out the red, do it here when the other team is clad in green and yellow.
What they'll wear: White/White/Red
What they should wear: Blue/White/Red
Game 9: Oklahoma State
Against a team that features white, orange, and black, KU should feature a lot of blue. I'm not opposed to some red this time. Fifteen years since the Orange Bowl season? Throw back to the classics of that era.
What they'll wear: White/Blue/White
What they should wear: Blue/Red/Grey
Game 10: at Texas Tech
This is a tough one because we're running out of solid road combos.
What they'll wear: White/White/Grey
What they should wear: I'm fine with this
Game 11: Texas
How do you want to look when you win on national TV? You what people to identify you as Kansas, right? Right.
What they'll wear: All Blue
What they should wear: Blue/Blue/Grey
Game 12: at K-State
This is a rivalry game and they should be special. You know KSU will be going purple over silver with a silver hat. Fine. But since this is a rivalry game, I want it to look unique. I'll eschew the typical "white jersey of the road" trope and hope that we see some color on color action with some sweet contrast. It won't happen, but we can hope.
What they'll wear: Blue/White/Blue
What they should wear: I never advocate for it, but why not- ALL RED.
And that's it for our uniform predictions. Make sure to let us know where you think we have it wrong.
