Lol. You realize the entire enterprise is frivolous, right? We’re watching a bunch of 18-22 (or 23, or 24, or 25, or 26) year olds chase an oddly-shaped ball around a patch of grass. If things need to have a concrete impact for you to care about them, maybe fandom isn’t for you.I have never understood fans infatuations with uniforms. Do you think certain uniforms have any kind of bearing on the game?

Uniforms and the iconography associated with them have been a part of sports fandom for generations. It ain’t changing any time soon.
The Vol Walk, the checkered board end zones, the band, entering through the T, singing Rocky Top - does any of that actually influence the outcome?Obviously a lot of “fans” are obsessed with unis. I’m with you; uniform has no influence on the outcome.
Agree with that too, love tradition and variety is fine for the most part, but uniform of the day ,imo, doesn’t play into the final score.The Vol Walk, the checkered board end zones, the band, entering through the T, singing Rocky Top - does any of that actually influence the outcome?
I kind of think it does - because it fires up the players and the fans - same with a little bit of uniform variety.
My cousin said this when I mentioned alternate uniforms about 10-12 years ago. He played at Campbell.Look good, feel good
Feel good, play good
I like the orange facemasks on white helmets, white jerseys, and orange knickers...Looks cool and kinda mean...Imo this is the prettiest away uniform we ever wore! I'd love to see a modern take on this jersey!
Also, why not an orange facemask?

I'm guessing its strormtroopers because Kent st we wore orange pants and I don't think they'll do that 2 games in a row because those are kinda the alternate pants. I think we will wear orange pants or helmets at Arkansas. Or both. They always announce game unis on Thursday morning so we'll figure out tomorrow either way.I will be wearing orange regardless, but has the uniform announcement been made?
Stormtroopers or white w/orange pants?
