Can we pulloff a blackout?

  • thankinvol21 said...

    I personally think a Black Out would actually limit it us when it came to recruiting. Think about it, we have one of the most prominent, identifiable colors in the country, why would we take that away for black which almost 80% of other teams use?? We ORANGE OUT every week! That's Tennessee football, and thats what makes us so cool. We are unique, and no other school in the country wears their color with more pride than we do! Kids like that uniqueness(or will once we win again...)

    Yeah, 'Murica!!!! tennesseekoolaid vols

  • Whew! I got scared for a minute that you guys were talking about a TV blackout. I like the 'sea of orange' personally.

    We are ORANGE and WHITE...........JMO we look like copy cats or not proud of our all time unique colors dressing in black. DO AN ALL ORANGE OUT.........try to get the same color or orange and you can direct the next Olympic opening ceremomy too.

    IF you can do every other person in orange and then white...............Super Bowl halftime is yours

    Best idea I've heard in a while SamVolsam!! Id chip in a few dollars to buy the orange(TN orange) shirts if they would hand em out to evryone as they go in gates. Maybe it could be another We Back Pat promotion for her foundation and her fight against dimensia. GBO!

    IT TAKES NO TALENT TO HUSTLE

    We havent always just been orange and white. We have wore black more than once throughout our history. Most kids these days dont care about what u did or wore twenty years they want whats hip and now.

    That would be sweet and would create quite an image from the blimp! Make the T shirts reversible(Tennessee Orange on 1 side/White on other) and just switch accordingly depending on section your in.

  • 90 degree weather and black out do not mix. Also the fan base is too divided so no we can not pull it off.

    Go Big Black!?!?!?!? We are known for Orange and White. I am not even a fan of the large black outlines around the #s on our white road jerseys.

    I heard the kids today want to not keep score, . Is this next?

  • All Orange. If we could really get every one on the same page, all orange would look way better in Neyland and it would "intimidate" just as much b/c we're the only fans that wear that color.

    I would prefer a "white out" to a blackout. Penn State is not popular these days, but they're "white outs" we're awesome, and white is one of our colors.
