After reading the report of the rise in royalties from the sale of UK licensed merchandise, KSR wondered what kind of merchandise people are buying. We all have shirts, hats and shot glasses, but what unique merchandise and memorabilia is out there?
So we asked radio show listeners to send us their wildest UK swag this morning for a chance to win a Final Four print from Stadium Frame. We already gave one print away on the show to a guy who spelled out UK in his roof with blue and white shingles, and we’re looking to give another print away to someone in this group of trinkets.
Check them out and leave your vote in the comments section…

That toaster is pretty cool!
August 7th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
Well you see, you heat that up until it’s glowing red. Then press against body. Done. SSszzzszszszsszzzzzsssssssssss

The Flask
August 7th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
The UK tree face is without a doubt the coolest, weirdest thing here; however, a close second has to go to the “Kat Nip” flask that traveled to two final fours. The former takes the uniqueness category, but the latter has a certain nostalgic appeal because it is such a vintage piece of UK memorabilia.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Def the flask. I want that
August 7th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Of course, the UK Football Nesting Dolls from Russia are the most unique!
August 7th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
My vote goes to the Wildcat in the tractor! Oh how I wish that I had that to show off in my house to all my rival fans!!
August 7th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
I don’t believe for a second that the nesting dolls actually came from Russia. A UK fan with a weird obsession made those at home.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Money counter or toaster should win. Both are odd items that someone in a marketing department actually pitched to a “think-tank” and got approval to make. Mind-blowing.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
I love the football nesting dolls!!! And they DID come from Russia, for reals.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Toaster…would buy one today!
August 7th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Basketball nesting dolls are from Russia as well.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
I once had a UK thing you attached to your grill. Then when you put the meat on the grill, it was supposed to sear UK into the meat. It worked very poorly, and I threw it away. The toaster is a similar concept, and actually works. I go with the toaster.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
I like the toaster the best!
August 7th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
is that at trash bag holder or are you just happy to see me?
August 7th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
I’m partial to the Patterson lamp, with the Cat Flask coming in a close 2nd with it’s historic road trips.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
I want one of each. The tractor and flask are cool, but the Russian nesting dolls are so random, especially the football dolls! They get my vote.
August 7th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
Definitely the nesting dolls!
August 7th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Gotta go with the UK tree
August 7th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Oh wait I think I need to choose which set of nesting dolls… I’m going football!
August 7th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
I’ve seen the toaster at several stores in Louisville.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:17 pm
Kat-Nip Flask!
August 7th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
I love the toaster!!(:
August 7th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
Just remembered i have a uk fly swater..haha
August 7th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
The flask!!!! UK and Bourbon
August 7th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
I vote for the toaster.
Or Michael’s First Edition UK Rubber Ducky.
Def not his mom’s garter belt.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
TOASTER!
August 7th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
The tractor
August 7th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Toaster
August 7th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Toaster! If you sell those in the KSR shop I’ll buy one!!!
August 7th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
The flask is cool because of the age, The tractor because it is odd but I really want one of those toasters!!
August 7th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
I like the toaster too.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Has to be the tree face. Why in the world anyone would have such a hideous thing is beyond me!
August 7th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Toaster!!! Who doesn’t love a good collegiate toast?
August 7th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
Toaster!
August 7th, 2012 at 6:17 pm
VOTE for the UK football nesting dolls from Russia!
August 7th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
The catnip flask gets my vote it has actually been to the final fours….
August 7th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
UK Football Nesting Dolls from Russia
August 7th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
TOASTER. I remember getting toasted many times at UK.
August 7th, 2012 at 6:55 pm
Patterson lamp. That’s hot.
August 7th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
The Toaster! Great for tailgating and slinging on toast on opponents HOME floor after a game. Okay, maybe not a good idea to do but one to love doing.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
Kat nip Flask. My Dad had one of those in the 70′s. I wound up with it and packed it for football games for years. Lost it in the field rush after beating Bama in ’97.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
that shinny metal piece looks like the SPIDER MAN chest logo for his suit but with a uk
August 7th, 2012 at 7:16 pm
That toaster RULEZ!!!
August 7th, 2012 at 7:30 pm
I saw s neat Kentucky shirt today. On the back it said in three lines, “THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY” THE GOOD was in Kentucky blue. THE BAD was in Louisville red. THE UGLY was in Tennessee orange.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
#42 Nice.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
I like the tree face
August 7th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
Tree face is the most unusual uk item I have seen. Strange but cool.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
Tree
August 7th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
The tree would be great with a PRECIOUS ring.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:38 pm
I like the tree.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:39 pm
Tree face!!
August 7th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
The tree is cool.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I like Tree Face.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:12 pm
My mom was browsing a thrift store and found the Kat-Nip flask for a dollar and bought it for me, and I thought it was a very neat novelty. It gets my vote as well.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Toaster. Great show today in Morganfield.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:24 pm
I like the toaster.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:31 pm
I like the tree!
August 7th, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Tree
August 7th, 2012 at 8:35 pm
I’m voting for the KatNip flask, but that’s probably just because I’m partial to what goes in it.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Tree
August 7th, 2012 at 8:44 pm
You can buy the tree thing almost at every UK sport store. I would say the dolls are the most unique.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
The Tree
August 7th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
The flask easy
August 7th, 2012 at 9:38 pm
I vote for the Tree.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Kat-nip flask is it for me
August 7th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
The kat-nip flask, Bourbon and Basketball, perfect
August 7th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
The tree face.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
I dig the flask
August 7th, 2012 at 10:05 pm
Has to be that ugly tree thing
August 7th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
I’ve never seen the tree man before so it gets my vote
August 7th, 2012 at 10:18 pm
I wonder how many times the guy who sent in the pic of the tree thing voted for the tree thing in this comment section and who’s keeping an eye on this sorta thing
August 7th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
Is that shiny thing supposed to be a deer rack? (Matt, hopefully the fish and wildlife people have explained to you a deer rack is its antlers. But anyway I’ll vote or the tree face
August 7th, 2012 at 10:38 pm
Definitely the ppat lamp. I had the tubby hat!
August 7th, 2012 at 11:13 pm
I’m sitting here next to the Patterson lamp right now. My brother actually made it. What makes it even cooler now is the fact that Patterson autographed the from and back. He loved it! He made another lamp also with the #8 on the jersey that’s autographed by the entire team & Cal.
August 7th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Please, please choose the FOOTBALL nesting dolls!!!! They are too cool!
August 7th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Vote for me… The UK toaster! I am amazing and help provide a nutritious breakfast.
August 7th, 2012 at 11:32 pm
It’s totally the Tree Face. EVERYBODY needs one!
August 7th, 2012 at 11:37 pm
I think I sat by the tree in Rupp and Commonwealth Stadium. It just sits there like a bump on a log. Have to say tree.
August 8th, 2012 at 8:24 am
Football nesting dolls
August 8th, 2012 at 9:00 am
Most unique – the lamp
Coolest – the toaster
The tree thing is for sale on the Kennedy’s website so Zzzzzzz on that one!
August 8th, 2012 at 9:34 am
TRACTOR!
August 8th, 2012 at 10:35 am
Love the toaster! That’s a guaranteed ray of sunshine every morning
August 8th, 2012 at 11:12 am
The football nesting dolls!
August 8th, 2012 at 11:49 am
I say the KSR crew pick .. because you know everyone that submitted a picture is just having friends come here to vote for it. If i were to choose, I’d pick the PPat lamp or the nesting dolls.
Toaster and tree face — you can find those pretty easily. Nothing unique about them
August 8th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
The PPatt lamp is by far the coolest thing on there. Most unique, best looking, and something I would actually like to show off. Everything else is a decent little trinket item, but the lamp is the best.
August 8th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
I like the UK Football Nesting Dolls from Russia.
August 8th, 2012 at 4:56 pm

The tree is cute.
