Have you not paid attention? The painted bricks? Having a DJ in on the field for games? The Smokey uniforms? All of those are gimmicks for drawing attention to the program and finally targeting a younger culture.
according to this article today nothing new for UT Uni Watch 2014 college football preview covers every stitch - ESPN
Don't think its a gimmick to draw attention to the program. Alternate jerseys have become a part of every sport now, college and pro. Generates more sales, appeals to the younger generation and in college that is who wears the jerseys, not us fans. And with the Sr's voting to wesr the smokey gray's a second time last yr says the players love it. But alternate jerseys are becoming the standard in every sport, college and pro.
Some of you would have b*%#$@* when Coach Dickey added the Power T to the helmets in the 1960's.
Wow you managed to sound passively racist to native Americans, African Americans, and Latinos all in one post.Obviously, the team can wear what they want, it's their team. But don't you think they should add a peacock feather to the helmet, gold Mr.T style bling around the neck, have 'em sittin in a white '60s lowrider deVille vert wi' gold wheels an beyotches in leopard skin tights sittin' on each side while the ride dances to Rocky Top on it's hydraulics?
You left out rednecks an polish girls (leopard skin pants). An since I am Polish, I'll have an early Polish cocktail (Perrier and water) while I talk to my buds about how our Polish football team is doing, well was doing, since that was four scores and seven years ago.
In other words, lighten up Francis.
