New Uniform Pictures

I don't hate the color. But can someone explain the treadmark thing? I know Adidas is putting it on several of their teams, but for the life of me I can't understand why.

It's the same thing as Nike's Flywire material they're putting into a lot of their uniforms. They claim it increases performance, but I think it's just an aesthetic thing.

Listened to the EA show this morning . Here's the deal for some who don't know. They stated that its a Tennessee color that's been in the UT hand book for decades. The the color there calling it is Smokey PMS 426 color. For the traditional folks, its actually part of our traditional color scheme but has never been made. Me personally love them!

That's not true

The color, once again, is not based on the "Smokey" in the style guide. It's several shades lighter.

For the traditionalists out there. Smokey is one of our colors.

I don't mind the color so much but I think it doesn't look right with the white helmet. I also don't care for the "VOLS" above the numbers.

Mods please remove... Don't steal CBJ'S and the teams moment'!!!!!!!!

You should go help run the Internets in North Korea.

I like it much better than the black jersey from '09.

I'm not crazy about the "Vols" on the front though.

Wat

Could be a planned leak smokescreen for the real debut at 3:00 PM. Doubt it though.

Freakin' SWEET. And the power T is back on the pants!

I was glad to see that too. I did think Vince F. on 990 made good point that pants and shirt might look better with contrasting colors.

 

[Through_The_T]

Well thank goodness I am not worried about what you approve or don't approve of.

A feeling I share towards you as well. Good day.

 

[21VOL]

that's awful

 

[UTwild82]

Ugly. Very ugly. It would be at least average looking if the helmet matched. White helmet and gray unis? Gross.

 

[VOLnMiami]

If we're wearing them at Oregon then I think that pretty much confirms Oregon will be wearing their all yellow uniforms.

I doubt seriously they are going to be road uniforms...Not sure that is possible to wear all GREY on the road without permission.

Very good article on VQ about the new UNI's. VolQuest.com - Exclusive: Gray-T Expectations inside

"Everything is about our great pride and traditions here at the University of Tennessee," Jones told VolQuest.com. "We truly respect those traditions, but it's also building upon those traditions. Before anything can be a tradition, it has to have a beginning to it. Just like the Vol Navy, just like the Vol Walk, just like the 'Power T.' So when we looked at it, it was how can we continue to move forward. As you know, in the world of recruiting this is the world we live in.

If it gets the players fired up and helps us win 1 more game or gain an advantage with a potential recruit, I am all for it.

I don't care for it, but it could have been much worse. At least gray is being used as a neutral background color -- more like a different canvas for the orange. If it will get the kids excited, then it's not all bad, I guess. I would just prefer we stick to orange and white. One man's opinion. Take it for what it's worth.

Agreed, but I do like the other new uniforms that were released a few weeks ago.

 

[AJeray4TN]

I love them. Of course like everything else in the world, with my input, they would have been even better. But these work for me.

 

[jistevens]

Love how the Orange POPS! Very Nice!

Did Adidas give everyone a choice? Nike didn't force the Flywire collars on the more traditional programs, including some in the NFL.

Love the metallic look on the gloves

I haven't heard, but according to DeerPark, the tread marks aren't very visible unless in the right lighting or if you're right up to them. So I don't think it will be very noticeable on the field.

 

[Spring Hill Jay]

Would've liked to seen a new helmet to go with the new uniforms. Don't think the helmet looks good with the grey.

 

[GoobieVol]

Ugly. Very ugly. It would be at least average looking if the helmet matched. White helmet and gray unis? Gross.

Bad taste. Very Bad taste. Let the kids mix it up good grief...

 

[Tennman]

Must agree with above. Black helmet with orange Power T would look awesome. GO VOLS, heck I dont care if you wear T shirts, just win !!!!!! :clapping::clapping:

 

[Webbvol32]

YEEEEEEHAAAAAW!!!!!! We done got us a Confederate Gray UNIFORM!!!! Boom! I love it! Hurray for Dixie!!!!! Hurray for TENNESSEE!!!!! Go Vols!!!!!

Pretty much. They do the same thing with a lot of their NBA and NCAA basketball jerseys.

I doubt its nearly as noticable in person or on TV.

Agressive to please future recruits. Traditional to honor the past. I love it.
