It wouldn’t bother me if uni worn last night became…

First of all, no. We need to wear orange and white 99% of the season.

Second, I am all for "Dark Mode" becoming a permanent, yearly tradition where we wear them for the last home game in October, integrating it with more Halloween related festivities around the game. Make a whole weekend event out of it. They could encourage kids to wear their Halloween costumes to the game and make trunk or treat a part of the tailgating. Have a university sanctioned costume contest for prizes and let some former players judge. Things like that would make dark mode weekend a really fun, unique GameDay experience.
The problem with that is that the last home game of October MAY be Alabama. And Tennessee should never wear anything other than orange and white when playing Alabama. If its not Alabama, then sure.

I'm sure it wouldn't be THAT hard to ensure the last home game in October be a night game. As far as the years where that falls on us playing Alabama, why not? Is there a rule that says we MUST wear traditional O&W when playing Alabama? Screw them!
To my understanding, the networks tell us when we are playing. We don't get a say in that.

Why?

I don't understand why we hold so tightly to some of these dogmatic views on tradition. Some of them I understand. But "WE MUST WEAR O&W WHEN PLAYING ALABAMA" to me shouldn't be one of them. I'd much rather get back to the tradition of kicking their ass a fair amount of times. To me THAT is a more important tradition.

What I would love to see....is Bama wearing their crimson and us wearing Orange. That is what should be happening.

Vandy wears black every week and I hear season tickets are cheap in Nashville.

We beat Bama last year wearing Tennessee Orange and White. What is your problem?

I love the black unis once a year but Orange and White are timeless.








Get rid of those ugly ass grey ones from this year though.
I'm not a fan of the grey either. The black and orange in October are just fun.
