Might want to research a little bit deeper into Vols history….

[21VOL]

I have two colors to wear. Orange or white. Because that’s the Vols colors. Not black. Not grey.

Amen brother. Its called TRADITION, not being old.

If all UT fans just wore orange OR black, it would still look cool for halloween game. Just don't wear white and it'll be a solid look.

You don't have to coordinate certain sections or seats for this game. Orange or black. that simple

I was speaking more to the overall tradition - we have used black in our colors…. Long before we were born. 1911-1920 for example.

If you don’t like the black uniforms, that’s completely cool with me. But Black has been part of our colors. I personally love the look but I’m not trying to convince anyone about that.

No, this isn't a rivalry nor a big matchup. KY is a quality team, but when the spread is two or more possessions against a team which isn't a rival...

Guess you missed the Bama game this year

 

[VolCamp55]

I will be wearing black

I know where you can get black hoodies or tshirts with "AlcoVolic" on the front in true Tennessee orange. $20 for Tshirts and $40 for hoodies. DM me for details if anyone is interested.

So, leather helmets and only White players?? IT wore black jerseys in the early 1900s.

What I heard from your post....


Baaahhhhh, get off my lawn!!!

Lulz, I like the new you. I liked the old one too, just saying this one is actually funny.

?

They were favored by over 2 possessions

 

[jaguinn5]

In today's world, then there will be a hit piece calling the entire Tennessee fanbase racist for cheering in black face. Agreed, bad idea. Sorry if that is too political, but it's the truth.

I don't think it is political to say black face is racist.

No they weren't. Alabama was favored by 9 points.

Some traditions make sense and others do not. Wisdom is Being able to tell the difference. As far as alternate uniforms go, they probably help recruiting and motivate the players so why not, as long as they don’t become the rule. I think the current 2x a season works really well

Let me rephrase...Bama was favored by 2-3 possessions. According to the poster I was responding to, if it's two or more possessions, you can't call it a rivalry.

Thanks. I'm feeling better. And funnier. Lol

I'd like to see white and black checkerboard to honor the Kentucky dental profession.

Cherry pick much? Bama is a rival. That was the whole point. KY is not considered a rival by most UT fans nor by the AD. Were they considered a rival, or a marquee game, the team would wear traditional colors. This game is neither. Bama was.

Both are rivals. Despite both meeting your standard of a 2 possession spread.

Spread has nothing to do with Bama being a rival or marquee game. You are welcome to consider anyone you wish a rival. The school itself doesn’t consider KY a rival (they even put it in writing this week), and I agree with them. If KY came in ranked and with a tight point spread, it would meet the “marquee” definition. A team can be both a rival and a marquee matchup. A team can be one or the other. This season KY is neither. Words mean things.

That doesn’t mean KY couldn’t come to Neyland and win, and it doesn’t mean the game isn’t important.
