What Your UK Gear Says About You
Hello, friends. And happy Friday. As we dive headlong into the summer months, lets face it: there’s not a lot going on. Outside of the fact that the baseball team (go Cats), the softball team (go Cats) and the tennis team (go Cats) are still playing, there’s just not a lot going on on the basketball or football front. And we here at KSR know where our bread is buttered. We do love buttered bread. So outside of editorial cartoons gone awry and the fact that we may see players named Amile and Julius on the team in the near future, the latter which I think we can all agree would make us sound very European, there’s simply not much news right now. So to keep us away from brutally mocking kids who didn’t come to UK, let’s look today at What Your UK Gear Says About You. Just for fun. No biggie. No one’s making you read it. So, shall we? We shall.

This post was garbage.
If going to the SEC tourney for the last 12 years has taught me anything, it’s that this list is spot on.
lol…I always love the old ladies with the cardigans.
UK magnet on car: I am an official UK fan!
@1. Sometimes Tomlin puts out crap, but this post was grade A bro!
Khaki pants with little “UK” logos all over them: I am rich enough that I don’t care if you think I look goofy.
“Top Hat: I have season tickets in the lower level of Rupp Arena.”
….epic
The Hill’s comment made me laugh out loud.
Warrior says- Macon Vol Fan real fan if he follows UT for 12 straight years to SEC tourney where they repeatedly SUCK and get ass handed to them. Kudos for loyalty to such a Piss Poor program.”
Awesome. My wife has an extremely tight UK T-Shirt

UK eating UofL fish sticker on car: I am one of those douche-y UK fans
Tattered,fading, cracked UK sticker on car: I haven’t bought a new car since I graduated UK.
Fine post as per usual, C.M.
Actually think my UK pullover may have come from Dawahares.
Both girls have the cheerleader garb yet my wife still, oddly, refuses to don similar swag. Must consult the KSR brain trust for more convincing arguments than I am able to muster.
I laughed out loud at some of these cause they’re so true! Good post.
Anthony Epps jersey: I’m 30+ and know my point guards well.
15 year old silky worn down “00” jersey: This jersey makes my mullett look good.
My candy-striped crimson pants make me look like a douche!
UK pacifier. My one week old has one.
#9-well, they did make the finals in 2009, and the semis in 2008 and 2010……
what about a UK leather helmet? Im drunk?
nice post!
Plain blue shirt with plain white letters reading Kentucky says I just bought this shirt because UK won a national title.. Band wagoners
UK Replica Zebra Striped Basketball Shorts: “I think my mullet is awesome”
A KU 2012 National Championship Shirt- You were really drunk on Bourbon St and bought the wrong shirt. Why were they selling these?
15. my bad. i saw your post right as i hit submit. sorry for stepping on your kool-aid
1. Why is KSR advertising in its banner getting a degree at UNC?
2. Wearing “banned” wildcat tongue gear…. old school.
Plain white T-shirt with blue UK logo on front and armpit sweat stains- You are Ashley Judd.
Khaki pants and faded UK baseball cap: Bro, you got tickets to the game? Sweet. I’ll see you there, bro.
A little of topic but I think it fits in well here.. If you are over the age of 12 there is no reason for you to be wearing a basketball jersey.No argument is needed, I’m trying to save you from looking retarted. Nothing looks worse than a middle aged + over weight man wearing an old faded UK jersey even worse with no shirt underneath, just don’t do it. Do yourself a favor by a UK t shirt or even could go get a nice UK polo. Fashion tip of the day for the UK fan.
P.S. Ladies look very good wearing a nice tight fitting UK football jersey tho!
2012 Final Four shirt – You bought your gear a week early.
UK Knit Belt – Your Larry Vaught
Ron Mercer Celtics Jersey – You love the 90s and are not going to let go.
A Hills reference? That is awesome. And now I feel old.
I hate looking over the top hats to see the game.
I bet Kelly is more than 3.5 miles away!
The Hills reference was just freaking awesome.
24-The fact that we had a post esentially saying the same thing just proves that it’s true. haha
25 I do not have that ad in my banner. I’m pretty sure the ads on your page are based on your recent internet searches, which means you or someone else on your computer has been looking at UNC stuff.
Foam 3 goggles and no shirt…………..
I’m hoping Dick Vitale mentions me and espn gets a close-up!
37 is right
chrome browser and the ADBlock Ad on will take care of all those ads….
anything with the “house divided” written on it – like Henry Clay, you are both great compromisers. or your wife chopped your balls off
Look at the cover of the Final Four program………it says “Offical Program,” not “Official Program.”
If you have an OFFICAL program it tells you the NCAA can’t spell!
The problem with ladies wearing tight shirts to show off their boobs is that they are usually showing off several rolls of fat also.
15. Hil-freakin-larious
My 112lb woman wearing a size xsmall UK shirt to show what my $6000.00 bought.
This is the funniest post on the site in a long time. I lost it at the Allen Edwards jersey line!
Fat old guy shirtless with UK paint on belly- Walking encyclopedia of UK knowledge and best Happy Hours in town.
Best post on here in a long time. Most of them are true and almost all of them are funny. Great job!!!
What are you going to say about those like me wearing FEAR THE BROW shirts for many years to come? lol
Another thing, I like the bandwagoners much better than the UofL shirt wearers. Hope we did pick up new fans.
IF YOU DRESS LIKE THE GUY IN THIS POST: I have never played basketball in my life but I really like the attention I get when I dress like this.
UK Tank Top: I often listen to basketball games on the radio while cleaning a gun.
Describes the majority of UK fans in the 270. Gotta love it. Go Cats.
Here’s mine: UK hat — Bought in the lower level of Commonwealth right after beating #1 LSU in 2007. Will take it to the grave.
Ha ha, Hill’s …..worked there one semester while at UK. They paid us in cash every Friday.
Another awful post by Tomlin. Why does he continue to write for this site?
Uk flags on car: if I could drive to Maui, I would.
1. Blue and white Louisville Sucks shirt: I hope I get drunk one night and there is a Loovulle fan around.
2. Camo UK hat: Yes, I do think this hat matches every shirt I own.
3. A UK NIT shirt: Wait, did they even make those? BTW, I loved dogging UNC fans having to wear those the same year Duke fans proudly wore their National Title shirts. I still squeeze it in when the opportunity presents itself. I’m just glad the Cards didn’t win the title when UK went to the NIT!
4. Speaking of the devils…A DUKE hat with the D and E crossed out with a black Sharpie: I’m still pissed about that daggum game.
Love the one about Hill’s. Went in there once to buy a computer desk, advertised for $60. The bored high school kid at the checkout scanned it and it came up as a bird feeder, for $5.99. I pointed out the error, and the kid said, “If it says it’s a bird feeder, it’s a bird feeder. Doesn’t matter to me.” So, I paid $5.99, took it home, and sat my computer on the so-called bird feeder. I think Hill’s went out of business that very year.
jsut spit drank all over the computer screen after reading the one about Hill’s. well played, next time see if you can work in a Gold Circle reference.
UK-Uof L House Divided flag in front of the house — UK grad married to someone who went to U of L for one semester and dropped out.
