Kentucky will wear logoed thigh pads against Mississippi State (Photo)
Given the infinite number of special uniforms and uniform combinations in college football, it's hard to be unique. Kentucky's new uniform feature Thursday night against Mississippi State is definitely unique.
The Wildcats will have the team logo in 3D on players' thighpads. Seriously.
The @UKFootball thighpads have gotten the @TREDCals treatment for tomorrow night! What do you think? #WeAreUK#uniswag pic.twitter.com/MqdhWCSbhW

It's a cool idea, but one we wonder will be muted if the WIldcats are wearing the blue pants in the picture above. An earlier picture showed the pads under white pants, and you can see the blue-logoed pads much easier.

How will it transfer to TV? We'll find out. If they're hard to notice, the guess here is that this won't become a trend.
