  "account": "Louisville basketball has unveiled its new home uniforms for the 2026-27 season, marking the start of the Pat Kelsey era's third year. The Cardinals shared sneak peeks of the fresh designs on social media on September 23. The most striking difference is the return to red lettering and numbers on the jerseys, replacing the previous black lettering. A bold red stripe runs from the armpits down through the shorts, while the piping is all black, except for the neck. Louisville sources confirm that the Cardinals receive new home and away uniforms from Adidas every two years. Under Kelsey's leadership, the team posted a 22-5 record from 2024-26, with a 12-4 mark in 2024-25 and a 10-1 record in 2025-26. This season's uniform change is particularly fitting, as only one scholarship player, junior guard Adrian Wooley, wore the red and black during the team's second year under Kelsey. The upcoming 11-man roster features eight veterans from the NCAA transfer portal and three freshmen. As of September 23, UofL held the eighth spot in BartTorvik.com's early 2026-27 preseason projections.
