Black Helmet. New Alt Uniform Coming?

  • nick11vols said...

    I want to see clothed players beating the snot out of Florida and Muschamp.

    I absolutely couldn't agree more with your first sentence. We travel every year from San Antonio to the Tennessee Florida game with some Gator friends of ours from here. I'm tired of being the gracious loser. I don't flipping care if we wear Gator orange and Georgia red with a houndstooth helmet. I WANT TO HAVE MORE POINTS UNDER "HOME" THAN "VISITOR" AT THE END OF THE GAME!!!

    I've seen the new branding palette, and have wondered on whose authority it was cooked up.

    I have no problem with black outlines for legibility on white unis. I have a large problem with clown costumes.

    I thought the gators were wearing the clown costumes.

    I want to see clothed players beating the snot out of Florida and Muschamp. I liked the black on Halloween. I don't think it's a great idea for this game. I want the nation to see us in our defining orange. I want the nation to know we are back.

    I think this is exactly right. Dooley has spent way too much time re-establishing the "traditional" UT brand, there is no way he is going to send a mixed message on the occasion of a huge game with national exposure by sending us out in anything other than UT orange and white.

  • I think that for one game a season, the players should decide on an alternate uniform to wear. As has been previously stated, they bust their tails for not only themselves, but also the University and fan base. Although there is tradition established at UT, they have a part in establishing their own identity/take while they are here. Plus, as aforementioned, uniforms can get players fired up really quick.

    as long as Dooley and/or Hart are at UT, there will be nothing worn but the traditional Orange and White. JMO

  • I was at a sports store in Kingsport looking at some of the UT gear, I was talking with a man who worked there, I told him how I liked some of the black gear he had at the store. He said his Adidas rep told him Dooley didn't like the black, that he did like gray. He said that CDD wouldnt wear some of the clothes that Adidas gives him to wear on game day, that sometimes he will wear something more his style. ???? Idk if any of this is true, I just thought it was interesting and wanted to pass it along. The man at the store also said we would see a lot more gray with Tennessee orange in the clothing market. He said the Adidas rep did say that black was some of the best selling items, and will continue to market it because it's what sells the best.

    Tennessee hasn't always been Orange. Black was our primary uniform color in the early 1900's.

    Sorry power tee was not around then. Black was a jersey color i will give you that.

    I dig it. I'm more of a traditionalist, but don't mind a game every few seasons where they do something out of the ordinary. Like the concept!

  • I don't care if we have a white out, black out or a purple out - I have an orange power T polo shirt that is undefeated and I'm wearing that!
