Quite right, Todd.

From what I understand (through reading their website), once the role of Kentucky colonel became more of an honorary position rather than a militia/military role, there hasn't been an official Kentucky colonel's uniform, though one was proposed almost a century ago. Discussion of that may be found here. There is an official emblem (essentially the state seal with the words 'Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels' wrapped around it). The Order is now a charitable organization. Anyone appointed a Kentucky colonel does not automatically become a member of the Order, nor does one have to join.

Perhaps SlackerDrummer could add more.
