Luke Winn, constant companion of the Final Four Blog, has yet another sparkling rendition of the Style Archive fresh and up-to-date with the 2008-09 season. Right now he has a Kentucky Tribute volume up, with all the latest fashion trends of one of the nation’s most fashionable teams, the Kentucky Wildcats.
In a league like the NCAA, player apparel and style can sometimes come out in more fabulous and ever increasing zaniness because there are, sometimes, less stringent rules governing player appearance. Since these are amateur athletes, not employees such as those in the NBA or NFL, there is markedly less that the NCAA can do to limit personal expression. In the NBA, fashion is limited to hairdos and arm sleeve length. But in the NCAA, players get a little more wacky. Plus, these are youngsters, some not barely 19 years-old, so they’re bound to still be experimenting with their image. Check out what Kentucky is doing to stand out from the crowd. Look forward to more reports from the fashion front lines.
