Jersey Patches will be coming to Kentucky
Patches are coming.
University of Kentucky athletics director J Batt announced plans to introduce jersey patches to college sports during an interview session in Lexington, Ky. Batt, who succeeded retiring athletics director Mitch Barnhart, emphasized that the decision will be made carefully, ensuring it is the right fit for the Cats. The addition of jersey patches is part of a larger trend in college athletics, as schools seek financial support to compete at the highest level.
Ohio State recently secured a significant deal with JPMorgan Chase Bank, raising questions about whether Kentucky will follow suit. Batt expressed that once the decision is made, the university will be intentional about the process. Several companies have expressed interest in placing their logos alongside the "Kentucky" moniker on the basketball uniforms, providing substantial funds to bolster the athletic department. Fans are invited to share their opinions on which company should be chosen by commenting below.
