Did you see the golden tab on the back of the collar? A Kentucky fan on reddit noted that UK has the same kind of tab on their jerseys this year, too. It seems to be a Nike thing.
I love that little bit of gold on the jersey. Blue and white is a little too basic, if I am being honest. We've dabbled in black with mediocre results. I think a golden pinstripe on the side panel or embroidered around the Iron D would do a lot to make the jersey pop.
