Kentucky plans Power K road uniform for 2027

Kentucky plans to bring back its Power K football jerseys in 2027, including an away version that will put the alternate look into the Wildcats’ road rotation.

Head coach Will Stein outlined the uniform plan Tuesday during his weekly conversation with Tom Leach. Stein said Kentucky will not wear the Power K again this season after using it during an earlier win over LSU.

The coach said the program expects to have alternate uniforms next year and intends to make the Power K an annual feature for a long time. The 2027 road edition will add another option without turning the design into an every-week uniform.

Stein intentionally reserves the Power K for selected games to protect the excitement around it. A designated home appearance and a road version will give Kentucky two settings for the look.

Before that road uniform arrives, Kentucky will make another change this weekend against Florida. The Wildcats will wear new black uniforms with a special helmet stripe for the blackout game.

After the LSU win increased interest in another appearance, Stein’s comments provide a clear timetable: no return this season, with the away version coming in 2027.

Why it matters

Kentucky is treating the Power K as a special-event uniform rather than a regular combination. Adding an away version in 2027 will expand where the Wildcats can wear it while preserving the limited-use approach Stein prefers.

What to watch next

Kentucky will wear new black uniforms with a special helmet stripe for this weekend’s blackout game against Florida.
