Is this a Tennessee original? Seems I saw Kentucky CopyCats doing it.

Yes, to the best of my knowledge, it is.

 

[Special Ed]

I seem to recall it was originated by the Vols a few seasons back.
I don't know exactly when:



KY also copied our checkerboard pattern.
They should stick to bourbon and KY Jelly.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Same thing with the checkerboards

For some reason I feel like a pro Tien may have done it and we copy that but I could be wrong. It just seems like the Cavs were doing it when they were making their run with LeBron

Not sure about that but LeBron did like the video on Twitter the first time we did it. Could be where you're getting the LBJ connection.


But upon my further research, we are the first team to do this. It is a UT original.

One Fly We All Fly' started with the University of Tennessee men's basketball team.

Started with the Grant/Admiral team. Ky copies everything including the checkerboards on their uniforms

Awesome! So I think JR Smith and LeBron started doing it with the Cavs AFTER our guys did it.
I thought it started with Bowden or Admiral then Pons and Fulky.

I remember a smaller school doing it before us. Became popular and copied by a lot after we did it.

I saw a piece a few years ago says the Vols definitely started it. I can’t remember the NBA team to copy it (maybe Cleveland??). At any rate…I think it’s become synonymous with the Vols.

Vandy actually did it first, but their guy slammed it off the front of the rim and landed on his back. They stopped.

So Cool !

I'm fairly positive Admiral said that his HS did it and he wanted to do it at UT. Like you said, we weren't the creators, but through marketing and playing other big time programs we helped start the trend.
