Recruiting Forum Football Talk XVIII

[Nashvegas31]

Actually, the only thing I don't like so far is the orange collar on the white jersey. The "Storm Trooper" look won't look so clean now.

Maybe they will have 2. One with they orange stripe when we do orange pants and a full white when we go storm trooper. That would be tight.

The "if it ain't orange, it ain't Tennessee" guys need to realize gray and even black were the original colors of the football team. It's in the color scheme because it was there first.

I like them. I'm going to really like them when we get kids here because of them.

Yep.

DP confirmed the Smoky Mountain helmet too.

By the way, I'm feeling infected. Anybody got antibiotics? I've been in the FB forum.

 

[Volnatic]

Oh...my...god...normally, I prefer the traditional orange and white...but that Smokey Gray with the helmet...amazing....Also, I liked the "My All" inside the collar of the white. Nike is pulling out all of the stops.

This really IS a Game of Jones.

I've been there too. The leaked thread is pretty much the same as here.

You either love or hate the gray uni. No in between

 

[WarMachine]

I'm actually torn... I like new stuff. I really like the orange uni, but I'm not sure I like the two-toned gray uni. It doesn't look bad, I just don't know if I love it. Maybe if the whole uni was the dark gray, it would be better for me...

 

[MTPVOL]

When was the last time you guys remember hype like this? The show with Nike coming in, projections to win the East, top recruiting classes through what seems like the 2020 class....I know it's been said but, I never thought Butch would turn out like this.

 

[WarMachine]

Feels like the 90's.

I loved the 90's

 

[engineerVOL]

It will look very different under the lights at Neyland or in the bright sun. I just hope the fans maintain a primarily orange wardrobe in the stands. No gray in the stands IMO

This.

Being that I am an old guy to most on here - the gray and black should be viewed by the young Vol fan as going retro. It's Butch's nod to tradition going back well beyond the cheggarboards that most on here think are ancient.

And I love the new look. Love it.

I love the gray and black and know about the original colors but don't know if you can spin it as retro. Guarantee that Butch's motive was not to the heritage of black in the color scheme. Otherwise we would have buttercream yellow for white numerals.

I gotta say... The black and tan with orange back in the day is awesome.

I agree

A little two-tone Basketball action, too.

^ THAT is stellar. Love.

 

[WarMachine]

I like that a lot better than the FB jersey... hope seeing it tomorrow looks better...

Just told my UGA coworker about the smokey mountain background on the helmet. He responded that UGA helmet will have Jackson County state pen background... Lol

Want to try that again?

Now that is awesome. I bet we will have some sick basketball gear

What's the problem?

 

[Vols4us]

What's the problem?

Unless you are Butch you cannot "guarantee" Butch's motives when he approved all of the football uniforms you will see. You know Butch is huge on tradition, hence Team 117, 118, 119, etc. Then there's your own comments about the tradition Volatil and I referred to relating to the black usage.

No biggie. :hi:
