New Uniform Pictures

[SmokinBob]

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.

:birgits_giggle:

What's going on in the shoulders there?

It's the design of the new Adidas unis I think. That will be on all of our uniforms. DP said they aren't as noticeable on game day.

I usually don't like messing with tradition but those are sick. The only thing that looks out of place is the helmet.

 

[fade route]

Wow....LOVE EM!!!!! Wish we'd use em more than once.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Wow....LOVE EM!!!!! Wish we'd use em more than once.

Ditto

 

[jasonvol18]

Really love those.

 

[Billy Antrim]

It's been a long time coming. Love it! :yahoo:

 

[Catbone]

To all you haters its the new age and kids like it. Quit being close minded idiots.

Im in college and don't like them. Take a chill pill. We can all have opinions...

 

[VolFanHenry]

i absolutely love them. Just wish they had a helmet to match. Use that same gray and slap a big orange power T on the side. Voila...

 

[kohlrums]

They look like high school uniforms...The helmet doesn't match the uni's at all....Of course the kids on the site will say they are "sick" and I have to agree they are vomit inducing.

....now if only those darm kids would stay off your lawn....

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

History lesson,

East Tn mostly sided with the Union and tried to secede from west Tennessee over it. Before the war even started they had to bring up troops from Georgia, and Alabama to try and control east Tennessee against it's will. West tn men went to the south and joined the Confederacy, but as many in East Tn went north and joined the Union. Many who stayed here were apart of gorilla warfare efforts and burning bridges and otherwise destroying infrastructure. Look up the "Bridge Burners" sometime... Crack a history book. East TN = Appalachia = Union, West Tennessee = Plantations = Confederacy. Early on in football tradition this was part of the angst between Tennessee and Alabama, People in the 20's and 30's still knew the family stories.....it was still a apart of fighting that old war.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Those are sick! Butch just keeps on impressing me.

 

[Burhead]

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

Soon.

If the players like them then I think its great. They play the games and surely we as fans can let them have something new for one game at least.

The grey just screams southern to me and I love all things southern, also fits with ole smokey and the smokey Mnts.

and finally I think they are unique and that's hard to get these days.

so I give them a big :good!:

 

[grace2u]

For those asking, the article states that they will be worn in 1 home SEC game, most likely Georgia.

 

[Pulscifer]

Dark gray helmets with orange stripe and T would be killer.

 

[VolFanHenry]

Soon.

Gruden will unveil the real unis at 3:00.

 

[vol494]

Very impressive. Great job, UT!
Can't wait to see them on the field.

 

[bigorange]

You are saying that you or your beloved dp can decipher the precise shade of grey from a photo in a darkened hallway with artificial lighting...? BS!
Give it a rest!
Either way they look good and most people seem excited about them.
Go vols- lets have some fun

DP would know.

 

[DC Vol]

I guess I'm wrong. I'm not the only person who calls them the Great "Smoky" Mountains though. I thought that the university would use the same term.

Smoky is the mountain range.

Smokey is the mascot for both the NPS and UT. Hence the nomenclature for the school.

 

[UTwild82]

They have to be saving something (most likely the helmet) for the 3 o'clock presser. The helmet just doesn't match the rest if it all. If we can get a gray helmet with it, I think I would be cool with it.

 

[Grayvol]

Planet of the Apes = Gorilla Warfare

 

[CWGvol]

I usually don't like messing with tradition but those are sick. The only thing that looks out of place is the helmet.

I like it! But I would like an orange helmet and white T with it. Same traditional colors on the helmet just inverted like the one here in the left.

 

[VOLumeS]

Look closely you can see dark gray cleats.

 

[Chuckie]

For those asking, the article states that they will be worn in 1 home SEC game, most likely Georgia.

I was thinking maybe Auburn. Thanks to Kiffin, I thought I heard that we can't host recruits for our first two conference games, so Auburn would be the first home game we could host recruits...and this would likely have the crown even more fired up than usual.
