KnightShift

Welcome to KnightShift Media Welcome to our new home. While we're still working things out after the shutdown of Black & Gold Banneret, we are using this space to help our staff maintain their obligations for internship credits and other things. If you were previously subscribed to Black & Gold Banneret on X, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, or BlueSky, you don't have to do anything. If not, give us a follow! We will take the spring and summer to see what we decide to do for the 2026-27 season, if anything. But in the meantime, keep an eye on this space and on our socials. Until then, #chargeon!

A little note for you while we get settled:

It’s Time to Retire Jermaine Taylor’s Jersey at UCF JT’s legendary legacy should be permanently enshrined at UCF

Jermaine Taylor is the GOAT of #UCF Men's Basketball. He left it all out there for UCF and in his pro career. He deserves to have his jersey retired.
