How often do you wear UK apparel?

[matt colvin]

How often do you wear UK apparel, or display some sort of UK item? I'm a college student, and so it is acceptable for me to wear a t-shirt or polo almost everyday. I usually wear a UK shirt of some sort 80-90% of the time. In the winter, I usually wear my UK jacket, like the ones the Runts wore for their 40th anniversary.

Just curious about everybody else, and hopefully this will inspire some to display their pride of being a UK fan more often.


Edited to add: If I'm going out of state somewhere, I always make sure I take some UK shirts with me, lol. You'd be surprised where all you'll meet people who are also fans, or inquire about the Cats!

Normally at least once a week (I'm wearing a UK Basketball t-shirt now).

During the basketball season, I wear something at least twice a week on game days. If the weather's mild enough (for winter anyway), I wear my UK jacket daily.

I also travel with UK gear and some of those trips are UK related (Maui or other road games).

Here in Colorado I wear it all the time and especially hiking...I have UK bumperstickers on my truck and a "Reserved Parking For Wildcats Fans" sign on my garage.

[gerntz]

I try to make a point of it when I'm in Ohio.

[CATHEAD]

Just about everyday of the year. I can't wear casual stuff to work (although I've been known to wear my game day hat to work on the first day of the NCAA tourney), but I usually change into something blue when I get home. Weekends are a "blue-out" except when I'm hunting and the camo comes out. But even then I have several camo UK hats that I wear.

[UK Chic]

Every chance I get. My Explorer has it all over it - can't miss it.

As I type, I have on my UK B-ball shirt and a KENTUCKY hat. (I will post about my son and his UK hat next).

I am going to Alabama next week and have UK gear packed for me and my son. My father asked 'you have something UK packed, don't you?'
God, I was raised in a good family!! :)

[Wildcat Larry]

Same here. I can't wear casual stuff to work, but I carry my UK coffee cup around nearly all morning everyday of the work week.

As soon as I get home, I usually have something UK on and I'm carrying my UK hugger around with a cold Coke in it.

[UK Chic]

Oh yeah, best thing ever, I have a UK diaper bag!!
I get compliments on it all the time. So in case we are in church or walking through the mall and I don't get the chance to 'talk' CATS, it is showing all the time. :)

[CatKroboth]

I wear a UK ball cap almost every day. I have 2 I rotate around. One is blue with a block K on it. The other is black with UK... Both are fitted and the best hats I have ever had. I will buy no other brand of fitted hat now.

[DenCat]

Uh,...........Daily!

I am often asked if I have any clothes that doesn't have UK on them. I say yes, but I rarely go to places where UK gear is not appropriate.

Wonder who got you that??

I have UK on everyday, plus the logo is tattooed above my ankle!!

[Brian McCat]

OK, I´m in Spain. I have 8 shirts here, until the rest of our stuff arrives on the boat.

6 of the 8 have UK on them.

So you do the math.

[TrueblueCATfan]

about twice a week....My Escape has a UK license plate in the front... a UK magnet on the back..a UK sticker in the window ( but I also have a proud WKU mom sticker under it)..my basement has UK stuff everywhere...and a UK garden flag out in the front yard

[WildcatGirl]

On my truck I have a UK tire cover, UK license plate, and UK headrest covers.

I carry a UK purse all the time...with a matching UK cell phone holder and wallet.

Pretty much all of my non-work clothes are UK (and when I used to work at a dr's office I even had UK scrubs which I now wear as my comfy slob clothes) from t-shirts, to tank tops, to sweatshirts and hats. And I even have one UK Blue suit that I wear to work sometimes...though I've learned that its best to wear pants and not skirts to my job...so it doesn't get as much wear as I'd like.

I have paw print earrings that I wear frequently, and a UK watch that I wear when I actually wear a watch.

And on any given day you will find my fingernails and/or toenails either blue or looking like this:

(Oh...and my desktop background at work is the wallpaper from the MCB win...despite the fact you really aren't supposed to change the settings...lol.)

So I'd say just about 100% of the time;) Which sometimes gets me alot of teasing from friends and co-workers here in the land of Crimson Tide and War Eagles...but all that does is make me look for more:icon_lol:


Edited to add: that says nothing of our home! The living room is filled with UK pictures, lamps, throw pillows and afghans for covering up on the couch...The first bedroom (our son's) has lots of small to medium sized UK wall decals everywhere, UK valance over the window, UK bedding, posters, and lamps...The second bedroom (our daughter's) also has UK bedding, and curtains with a 'fathead' of the UK logo...In the master bedroom there is another fathead and 3 UK rugs...so pretty much the whole apartment is filled with blue!

[kydingbat]

Oh, love your nails!!! And, I wear lots of Ky stuff too. My hubby always makes a point of wearing it to his doctors, one's a l'ville alum and the other's a hoosier.

[WildcatGirl]

LOL...I'm like your hubby...my parent's Dr. was a UL grad...and I ALWAYS wore a UK shirt when taking Dad to see him!:icon_mrgreen:

[scfcats]

5 days a week. I've got 5 t-shirts that I wear of and on during the week. I've got two hoodies that would fill the week out, but it's too freakin hot out here to wear sweat shirts.

Gotta get me a couple more tee's.

[B-Dam Cat]

Almost everyday and that includes work. My whole closet consist of blue, white, and gray and I'm not joking. I have 12 short sleeved tee shirts (8 football 4 basketball), 7 long sleeve tee shirts (4 basketball, 2 football, 1 WCN), 1 UK nike polo shirt, 2 pair of nike UK bball shorts, 1 pair of nike UK bball shox shoes, 1 UK fossil watch, 6 UK hats, 4 sock hats, and 7 nike sweatshirts (5 with hoods):thumbup:. No joke this is what I just counted. And that's not counting what is in the laundry room.

Sometimes holidays can be a bit complex to celebrate. There might be travel involved, gifts to purchase, and tough decisions to make on which costume to wear. For those looking for an alternative to the more challenging holidays, look no further than College Colors Day. This holiday is so easy to participate in, we’ve broken it down into one easy step.

Are you ready? Here it is.
Step 1: Wear blue and white on Friday, August 31, 2007.
It’s that easy! Reach into your closet, throw on your Kentucky gear, and head to campus or work. Show your school spirit by wearing your Wildcat hats, earrings, T-shirts, ties, watches - anything blue and white - on August 31, and you’ll be a part of one of the most easiest, yet spirited, holidays in America.
Don’t have anything to wear? Make a quick stop a local retailer for all your College Colors Day needs or visit www.UKteamshop.com (http://www.ukteamshop.com/). Think of it as a dress rehearsal before the kick-off of college football season, a reason to meet friends at your favorite watering hole to talk Kentucky football, or even an opportune time to start a friendly rapport with those volunteer fans that reside in the Lexington community. They’ll be celebrating College Colors Day too.

I wear UK apparel pretty often. I have a UK watch and a pendant that I wear all the time. Between my hubby and myself, we have quite a few UK shirts and hoodies. I have a UK front plate and a UK sticker on my car.
I think that the only T-shirts that I have that have anything at all on them besides UK, is my Led Zeppelin shirt and a couple of Family Guy shirts.

[lighthouse]

I wear Allstate shirts to the office, (but they're blue & white). I wear KY everywhere else except to church, and UK is on my truck.

[CoquieKat]

I can only wear UK apparel to work on Fridays, but I'll take advantage of that privilege quite a bit. It's gotten to the point where DH even asks me, "Are you going to wear jeans and a blue UK shirt AGAIN?" hehe

I do have a UK necklace that's black with a silver "UK" pendant on it. I can get away with wearing that to work during the week, since it does look kinda dressy.

[UK Chic]

Wonder who got you that??

Rick, I tell ya, I get more compliments on that bag than anything!
Even recvd a compliment on this past Sunday from a ul fan. Although I would never compliment anything red or black, I was very appreciative of her comment. :)

It is one of my absolute favorite things!

Good thing too. It looks like it will used well into the future.

[KY Blue in Carolina]

Great thread!

I'm pretty much clad in blue on the weekends and evenings. I just inventoried my t-shirt stack in the closet. Of the top 10 t-shirts (most recently worn) 8 were UK related, one St. Louis Cardinals, and one "Cat" (Caterpillar) shirt. When cooler weather arrives I've got a lot of UK jackets, too.

During the week, I've got my obligatory Louisville Stoneware UK coffee cup every day. UK license plate, trailer hitch cover, and window decal on the Tahoe. In my office I have the "Rupp Arena Capital of Basketball" poster framed and on the wall.

Oh... and I work in Raleigh in the middle of UNC, Duke and NC State nuts.

:beer::widcat::thumbup:

[TransientAlum]

2 pair of UK underwear, turn em inside out and thats a week right there. :icon_lol:

[RP_McMurphy]

I say I don't wear UK stuff enough. My wife says my wardrobe is only blue. Like that's a bad thing.

[CATHYnKY]

For this week with the excitement of the opener, I have worn some kind of Cat earrings daily. Tomorrow I get down to business. Will wear white capris with a UK blue top just to remind all the UL folks I work with I bleed blue as they will probably have on their red and black. Friday will wear a UK shirt, My UK cat paws earrings and UK flip flops. Have also worn blue mascara this week.

[Josh]

Usually a couple times a week. During the winter I wear UK apparel a lot because I have a lot of UK hoodies and stuff.

[Terry L. Wildcat]

I try to make a point of it when I'm in Ohio.

Be careful in Ohio...those Bearcat fans have a terrible case of "Wildcat envy"...Kentucky 69...Huggie Bearcats 60 :beer:

[TransientAlum]

Forgot to mention I wear my class ring.

Matches the underwear. ;)

At least earlier in the week.

[matt colvin]

Sounds good! But, as some have pointed out, and as Coach G has indirectly said, we can do BETTER!


Go Cats!!!!!!!!
