Us traditionalists think the straight orange and white is special, and it truly is and makes us who we are, but it’s what the kids want now days.

 

[tn88volfan]

most of us last night and today waiting for this boom

You "traditionalists " need to adapt to change!!! This is the future of sports. These uni's are tight!!!

No its not. Do you see all the NFL and College teams rejecting Nike's godawful "modern" designs? See Bucs, Tampa Bay and Browns, Cleveland. The Orange and White is iconic. Its our identity. Why throw that away for some pointless black uniform garbage? Black has nearly nothing to do with UT (yes Im aware of the one black uni from the 1920s, but theres a reason black was never worn again at UT until one ill fated night with Lane). Stick with our colors, the colors people know means Tennessee.

Nobody is throwing away tradition by wearing a black jersey one freaking game.

Fact or Fiction Terrence Lewis will boost recruiting for the Vols.

Farrell’s take: FACT. The Vols are doing quite well and recent commits from players like Dylan Brooks, Julian Nixon and Kamar Wilcoxson and many more to come, but the commitment of Lewis, an elite player from Florida, will open things up even more. Lewis is a talkative and well-liked kid among 2021 recruits and he will be certain to work hard to attract other Vols. Combine that with the efforts of Wilcoxson and others and this Vols class has a ton of guys working hard to make it special.

Gorney’s take: FACT. Tennessee is doing an absolutely incredible job recruiting through the coronavirus travel ban - maybe better than any team in the country - and Lewis should help in a big way. He’s going to talk up the South Florida kids considering the Volunteers, and once he and others can get on campus, Lewis could do an excellent job swaying kids to Tennessee. Even if this is the pinnacle of the Tennessee recruiting class for a while, the Vols are in excellent position and coach Jeremy Pruitt and his staff deserve tons of credit.

Looks too much like Oklahoma St’s uniforms.

Pass.

too close to gray in that rendering.

I was a fan of Smokey Gray. but, if we're going away from it. Do it. Black? Ok. But make it black.

The Bucs and Browns??? Really?? That's your argument? The Browns have arguably the worst uniforms in professional sports, and last time I looked the creamsicle orange wasn't being worn by Tampa Bay anymore (except as a throwback uni)

Ill fated? (That is an I and to Ls)

We whooped SC in a monsoon. Turned them over at least once or twice on their side of the field in the first, and I am pretty sure that's also when Montarrio Hardedty had the sweet AF spin move.

To me he put the spin on the map in that game.

Yeah I don’t think there was anything ill-fated about the SCAR game that year.

soon...

I always liked the Nike version of the Smoky grays, wish we still had them. But, if we’re gonna go in all black unis, these look pretty good.
Caveat: I realize this is just some random dude’s artistic rendering.

UT should only have orange and white jerseys. It makes no sense why anyone would want to change those.

The only black I want to see is for the trim on our road numerals.

 

[TrippieRedd]

If the Arkansas game wasn’t away then I’d say bring back the black jerseys for Halloween.

Terrence Lewis, the top-ranked outside linebacker in the 2021 class, racked up 105 tackles (77 solo), nine sacks and three interceptions during his junior campaign for Miami Northwestern, which is fresh off another class 5A state championship as well. He’s moved schools but should have a big year (assuming we have football) and we will likely move him to ILB.

We can agree to disagree, both of our original statements were clearly opinionated anyways. I think we should stick to orange and white (in every game) because I think wearing anything else (even for one game) diminishes the brand and tradition. You feel the opposite. Its an age old debate and I'm not even sure why I threw my hat in this arena again.
