Kentucky leaves for the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl tomorrow. While a lot of the traditional bowl activities have been canceled due to the pandemic, some pretty sweet gifts await the Wildcats in Jacksonville.
According to the Business Journal, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl gift suite includes JBL noise-canceling headphones and a Bluetooth speaker inside a customized box; Maui Jim sunglasses with a fitting; a Fossil watch (always a Fossil watch); and a backpack. That’s way better than the Sugar Bowl gifts, which are a New Era hat, a Diesel watch, and a mini-helmet (take that, Ohio State and Clemson!). However, it’s not nearly as nice as the Fiesta Bowl’s gift suite, which includes a PlayStation 5 and a Lululemon 22L Cruiser backpack. (You can see more bowl gifts over at 247 Sports.)
The players are also getting some special bowl swag from UK, which the official account showed off this morning:

We’ve yet to see the complete uniform combination, but based on this sneak peek, the Cats are going with blue tops:

Guesses as to the rest of the combo? Blue tops, blue helmets, white britches?
