I hadn't seen those for Texas and Ohio State. I stand corrected on those two. It's still gimmicky and cheesy though. I'd rather be like Bama, USC, Oklahoma and LSU and stick with tradition instead of going with the fad. It's like tattoos. Just because their the "in" thing and everybody's getting them, still doesn't mean they don't look like cheap trash.
Calm down pops. It's not all about you. I speak for a good portion of Vol fans when I say I embrace this new uniform. It looks solid. It's a great recruiting tool, players love it and so do fans. I was pumped as hell during the 09 game vs. South Carolina. I was lucky to be there. The team practiced in their orange jerseys and then when it was game time, they switched to black. It was exciting as hell.The fans pay the bills. Without the fans there is no program. The fans should get to decide. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You can't improve on the combo of orange and white, period. As for recruiting, there is no reason we have to embarrass ourselves like Oregon in order to recruit. Bama, LSU, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, and Ohio State don't have to stoop to this crap in order to recruit and neither should we. This kind of gimmick crap is for the nobody's like Oregon, Okie State, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, and other former Big East teams. We're better than that. This is a cheap Cincinnati move on Butch's part. First real mistake he has made.

It's changing your look to something supposedly eye catching to recruits, which is what teams like Oregon, Okie St., Va. Tech, Cincinnati, and other former Big East schools do. We're better than that. We need to be like other traditional power schools in our class, like Bama, LSU, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, and Ohio State. You don't see them using gimmicky uniforms. Stick with tradition. It's what sets us apart along with the other traditional elites.
