Save them for a big home game so it means something when we wear them

I get it, I get it.

BUT...

greys vs Miss State
black vs Alabama
all orange vs Kent State

Traditional other home games.

Split the road games with stormtrooper and orange/white.

Orange helmet vs Vandy with white top/orange pants.

I still think the UT should do something dramatically different. Come out with jerseys that have horizontal orange and white stripes, pants the same, with an attitude to opponents that says, w3e're going to criminalize you. Crazy, but boy, oh, boy, what a media frenzy that would spark. And potential future recruits marveling at our daring.

Have the team escorted through the "T" with staff dressed in orange uniforms designed like police uniforms, with white caps, just for the heck of it. Come on, UT, have some imagination!!!!!

The police 👮‍♂️ uniform would be perfect for the Georgia game.Have swirling red lights and sirens going off.
Have a mock Georgia player in uniform trying to walk a straight line. Smokey pissing on him.

I like it for an evil reason. To me, it would be payback for that bassard that cripple4 Shy Tuttle, and they put that bassard's face on their ticket the next season. If we did what you suggest, I'd want that piece of dirt's name on the GA jersey .

If they’re going to wear those, wear it in these type games. Conference games should be in orange & white. I can live with black for a night game around Halloween

The stupidest thing was during Jones years, they’d have fans dressed in orange & white in Checker Neyland & the team would dress in gray.

Possibly two different issues of the same design? This isn’t aerospace..

That's what I figured. Probably back when the unis were just home & away orange/white, they could do that--one set for heat, another set for cold. But multiples for 3 different color schemes seems bound to get expensive!

Maybe, if the rumor's true about opening the season with smokey grays, those are the unis best fit for hot weather, and that's the reasoning behind it.

Back in the day, in HS, we'd usually get a game in the 20s, and occasionally the teens. We just wore long underwear (waffle weave) underneath. It worked great until halftime. But by end of halftime, your sweat would make it feel like everything had frozen to your torso!

I'll bet the rate of fumbled 2nd half kickoffs doubled under those temperature conditions!

I think the asymmetrical white stripe next to the wide orange stripe on the helmet looks retarded. Either put it on both sides or remove them. I also agree with ButchPlz, the name across the front of the jersey screams mid-major. Glad these are going away after week 1.

Sucks that the first home game is these, but better to get them out of the way with UTC rather than in a good game.

They'd be great without the high school/little college looking name across the front.

They would be really clean w/o the word mark across the chest. Would love to have had an interlocking UT in the V of the collar as a subtle little hint at who the real UT is .

I love the single white stripe. Could take or leave the Tennessee on the front.

It works for one single reason, and that's because it's supposed to look like the state flag. I think it's a cool feature once you understand that.

But they literally ruined it all with the name on the front. It could have been so clean.

Ahhh, I see it now! I never made that correlation! OK, I guess it kind of makes sense now. Im just one of those people who do not like asymmetrical designs.
