Thursday Headlines: New Wildcat Mascot Edition

Things have gone well with the new mascot so far.

You may have noticed the Kentucky Wildcats have a new mascot.

The new mascot, according to Kentucky Sports Radio, started during the Ohio game and made the trip to Ole Miss.

The new mascot shares many characteristics with the previous one, but it also has some notable differences, namely the eyes.

Take a look at this side-by-side comparison photographed by Kentucky Sports Radio’s Mont Dawson.

The eyes are the biggest difference, with the new mascot having more narrow eyes. The old suit was clearly starting to show its age, so it was probably time for a change, but seeing them side-by-side, it is quite a difference.

Things are going well with the new mascot, it seems. So what do you think? Do you like the new Wildcat?
