Cats to sport alternate uniforms at Tennessee

Kentucky will have a distinctive new look when it travels to Tennessee on Saturday.

The Wildcats will be one of 12 programs wearing Nike Hyper Elite jerseys and shorts on a one-time basis against the Volunteers.

It marks the second time this season UK will participate in a game wearing alternate uniforms. The Cats also wore a different look for its season opener against Maryland in Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

A UK interlocking logo, awainspired by Kentucky’s home court, appears on the jersey’s center chest. Nike dubs the look as a “piece of home away from home to wear with pride.”

The team is also slated to wear a Hyper Elite warm-up hoody for the first time as well.

The UK at Tennessee game is set for a 1 p.m. ET tip and will air live on CBS.
