Recruiting Football Talk VII

That's odd you interpreted that as a proclamation of goodness for all.

did you say you were at Phipps Bend recently? And got attacked by a radioactive spider?

Joro's are beasts.

Correct. I said it recently, but the actual encounter with the nightmare creature happened 15 years ago or so. Naturally I haven't gone back since.

do we need a luddite circle?

 

[Vols4us]

Oh it won't be all goodness, but neither will it be all badness. Like in most things, the world will find a new equilibrium.

That is an optimistic view for sure. Not one I share. One of the primany, often stated purposes of AI development is for transhumanism implementation. Giving moral authority to AI is not very intelligent IMO.

Didn't the SEC have like 5 or 6 teams in the NCAA tournament this year? We obviously don't care about basketball though.

We should start a company. . . we could call it Buy n Large.

We've got what need irregardless of what that is!

I can't say I'm a HUGE fan of the stars. Don't hate them, but it does seem to be borrowing design ques from the Titans which I find meh.

But... Those are the best looking helmets we have.

The new Smokey Greys are beautiful. The tristar, the flag stripes, everything.

Nothing about this has design cues from the Titans.

I've seen that somewhere before........Hummmmm

You don't see any similarities? Really?



It's not a big deal. I just think it would be better to leave the Titans to take ideas from the state flag.

I'm not crapping on the design. I'm a Titans fan lol. I just think UT has such a huge brand it doesn't need to brand itself from a "state pride" angle that you see a lot of schools do. Even though the indirect shot at Vandy is always funny to me.

It's hidden but the Titans do have this design inside the collars:

Certainly not obvious upon casual inspection

I can't believe this is serious.

We took the tristar from the state flag - not the Titans. The tristar has been integrated into a ton of Vols stuff historically just not on uniforms. Professional and college teams across the state have used tristar logos in their stuff in the past, including the Preds and Austin Peay off the top of my head but you didn't say anything about that.

Also, we kept the true alignment of the stars from the state flag, whereas the Titans changed the alignment. The star alignment on the tristar is very specific and represents the 3 grand divisions of the state. Our new uniforms represent the state of Tennessee from Memphis to Bristol. It has nothing to do with the Titans.

That's not a "design cue from the Titans". Also, the three stars on our leg panel are oriented with the tristar they aren't straight like this.

The Titans took design cues from the flag. The Vols took design cues from the flag. They are inspired by the same source material. That is different than the Vols designing based on the Titans.

Okay bud! Sorry for having a wrong opinion !

If you think having identical branding to Austin Peay and the Titans on the unis is cool, I'm cool with that opinion. Lol I forget how y'all get about these things sometimes

 

[BigOrange15]

Tennessee is the state school of Tennessee lol, surely its not surprising that they might want to use the Tri-Star.

Thanks for apologizing as you should.

We ARE the state brand. The flag is the brand of the state. It's an alternate anyway, so just don't watch football that day if it hurts.

Having them be in a straight line like that could be argued to be a design cue from the Titans uniform imo, even though the orientation is different but I know what you mean.

Also, I don't think they DID use that design because of the Titans uniforms, Im just saying they appear similar.

You just won't do, Peay.

What? You don't like the idea of a 200 IQ sociopath that process millions of things per second.

It is funny to me though. Many conservatives see it as a tool for persecuting them, while many liberals see it as bringing about a humanist utopia. I think both are somewhat right, but I see man's creation of a humanist god as ushering the return of the real one. Regardless, it's coming, and I aim to occupy and prosper as long as I can.

They should probably fix the colors then huh? Ya know... Just to make sure they are getting the flag EXACTLY right for maximum state pride...
