Orange helmets!

[mrredskin]

For all the orange pants people, promise you we will see that combo with the orange helmets as well at some point. Too much awesomeness to pass up.

Why wait when orange pants are clearly the right play?

Can't wait for the Orange Helmet/Jersey/Britches combo.

Joe Milton III has a future as an athletic wear model.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

That’ll take some getting used to
BTW, is it just me or has the “T” gotten smaller the last 10 years or so?

I watched a few games from 2007 a couple weeks ago and my first thought was that the power T looked bigger on the helmets then

I don’t understand the aversion to orange pants on the road while loving them at home. All orange or all white is too much or too little.

Here's the thing, Greg:

See, kangaroos aren't team members.

Definitely looked it prior to the newer helmet design

I think it shrank when Tennessee went to Nike in 2015 in order to accommodate the speed helmets they every team is using now for safety reasons.

I love the Orange helmets. I hope they were them several times a year.

Eh, you would have to ask the powers that be that question. I’m just a proud member of the powers that never were.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

It must just be me, but the Power T looks a little smaller than normal.

Its been that way since we became a Nike school. They slightly reduced the "crossbar" to make it more symmetrical.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

good news, been waiting all season to see the orange helmets. I think they will look great with the storm trooper uni's.

 

[BleedOrange95]

Not a fan, especially with the all white uniform. If we're gonna wear them it should be with orange pants.

Agree but still love them. GO VOLS!

 

[Jeff Clark]

I hope we get to see those helmets regularly in the future

Why did the chicken cross the road?

A) It had an orange Helmet/Shoe stuck up his arse and was being plowed across the street!
B) Running away from Smokey.
C) To go the Beamer dance off!
D) To lay it on the line
E) Because he was stuck to the Pervert!
F) I don't eggzactly know.

Might be the players are getting bigger

I love the Orange helmet with the Power T… but I’d love to see “The Rifleman” logo brought back in some capacity. I think it served as an alternate logo from the early 80’s through the mid 90’s. Any idea if it was used on helmets during that time?

To my knowledge we've never had anything on the helmet except the Power T in the modern era.

Vols Uniform History: Tennessee Volunteers Helmet History

Nope. Dickey put a block T on the helmet in 64 with a power T in 67. Majors changed that power T to the current power T version in 77. The stripe has changed a couple times but no Rifleman.

Hopefully in before ... "Don't care if we wear pink tutus if we win".

Numbers on the helmets before 1964. T since then.

Maybe USCjr will take comfort in getting spanked by another yearly OR helmet rival.

 

[peaygolf]

Perfect!

 

[PruittEra]

Anyone have the picture with all 4 helmets together?

 

[Manchester Vol]

Just wear a helmet and beat the SC team till they cry.
