Orange helmets

[kell7517]

Tennessee fans know more about fashion than we know about football. George Cafego wore orange helmets and General Neyland used them but we have too many fans that are orange phobic. They want some fashionable shade of gray or black instead. At least orange is an official school color.

So, what are you?

This should have been our orange helmet View attachment 614874

This is what I wanted when they wore them in orange.

The T makes a difference.

Not from a distance, or certain camera angles. And uh, I think what I think, sometimes I just take my dog's word for something.

I personally like them, but for only one game a year! I didn't like the results of the South Carolina game and I think that put a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths with the helmet.

Looked good to me...Away games with orange pants and white jersey's . Question is, if we had of taken care of business and not S*^T the bed would opinions change?

Love the Orange helmets

Man, how are they ugly? We are the "Big Orange" now. Now, if it was orange helmet, orange jersey and orange pants, I might have to side with you.

I just don’t like them, I think an orange T pops better on a white background, looks better to me

During the Majors years, the Vols wore orange shoes one time against Bama.

Bama whipped the Vols' a**es and the UTAD shipped the lot to a baseball team in Russia.

My suggestion would be to dig a big hole somewhere near Bucksnort and bulldoze those hats into it. Then bury the 'dozer and put GPS jammers on both holes.

Several reasons that SC game was a loss. Orange helmets were not a single one of them.

 

[A2K]

Didn't love them or hate them. They were just kinda there to me.

 

[Vol865]

You don’t like the look or are you mainly referring to the result of the 2022 SC game? I personally think they look really nice.

Looked like garbage regardless of the game results. Should've been matte or satin orange.

 

[Vol Farmer]

I can take the orange helmets over those ugly grey uniforms

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Gonna keep saying it. I want to see the orange helmets with white tops and orange pants. Once a year. That's all.

 

[UTblood4life]

They should burn like the keymaster

 

[greenbacknative]

How bout a flat Orange with the mountains like on the smoky grays helmets? A perfect Tennessee sunrise !

IMO, both the black️ and orange helmets need to lose the stripe. The stripe should only be on the iconic tradional white️ with orange stripe helmet. The black️ helmet should be a matte black️ helmet with an orange T outlined in gloss black️. The orange helmet should be an all orange chrome helmet including facemask.
I was a fan of Baylor's offense in the early to mid 2010's and watched alot of their games. I really like their uniforms especially their gold chrome helmets and their matte black️ helmets.

Orange helmets would be best with the orange pants and that South Carolina debacle absolutely ruined the chance of us seeing them again.

The Vols did not use the orange helmets or the orange pants during the 2023 season.

I believe we wore orange pants against UTSA and Mizzou.

Recruits seem to gravitate towards, shall we say "flashy", uni/helmet combos - see recruiting pics for reference.

Traditionalists prefer "the standard", including recruits.

There isn't really a wrong answer but personal preference.

Carry on

 

[Vol Farmer]

And why do we try to correct perfection ? You’re killing me smalls

 

[Elhanan]

Those things are beautiful.

I hope they make a comeback in an out of conference game.

 

[Vols All Day]

I believe we wore orange pants against UTSA and Mizzou.

Your right. I totally forgot about both of those games. I forgot about UTSA because it was a low major game and I made sure I forgot that Mizzou game.

JMO...but within a week of the game we should have held a raffle for kids under 13. Let them register online and all shipping and handling paid for by UT for all the winners.

Think orange helmets should be priority 1. We are The Big Orange
