Nice of KY to make sure we feel at home in their end zone. I mean we spend enough time there anyways.

Seriously though, that's pretty sad.

It's more like low-contrast 2-toned squares. not quite what you guys do.

I think it's bad@$$.

I just think the Secretariat thing is quite a reach, whereas our doing has a "deeper" symbolic meaning.

Honest question, because my UT history is not on par with most, but what's the meaning for UT? Other than just they started it a long time ago? Was there something about TN that inspired it? Idk.

Either way I'm fine with our design. It's not an original concept, but we at least have a bit of history with Stoll field. And we're going with the two blue shades instead of the white/team color like UT has. It'll look fine.

If I read correctly, it says that UT had done it in the mid 60s, being renewed in the 80s and to the present day. Simply a design that stuck with the school, or a bigger meaning? I completely agree with the "it's a UT thing" argument, I'm just curious if there's something more.

Ayers Hall on The Hill has a checkerboard design in the brick work (red brick and white stone) at the top of the bell tower. It was taken from there. I don't think it meant anything when it was implemented on Ayers just part of the design. Since the Hill is the oldest part of campus and adjacent to Neyland I guess it's just a way to honor the tradition/history of campus.
