Tennessee Announces New Smokey Grey Uniforms

[Ttucke11]

Helmet is slick. I actually like them I think. They'll look great no matter what if the outcome is a W.

Please tell me that Tennessee is not actually across the back. It’s bad enough it’s on the front

They put Tennessee on the back just for a sample. It’s gonna be last names instead I’m sure.

I love the state stripe and the three stars (although they should be aligned like the pants which matches the flag).

I was talking 'bout the "Smokey Mountains Outline"...but agree with your thoughts on the stickers

Yes, Nike did the same on every launch...

My first thought when I saw the “Tennessee” across the chest was the baseball team who just won a National Championship. I’m good with it

I like them. We are the Volunteer state. Own it.

Yeah, I'm just not sure we should go full "nascar" and put a Tennessee emblem or logo or "Tennessee" everywhere there's a blank space of black (not grey). If they are putting Tennessee on the back where names go, then they should put Volunteers on the front. I do like the three stars logo on sleeve.

They aren't putting Tennessee on the back. It's just for the release

Those look great!

I will love them when they win in them. On the other hand…..

 

[Deathandtaxes]

I think they look sweet.

GREAT Visual Representation of The Tennessee Tri-Star Meaning

 

[Hacksaw]

I don't hate 'em. I like the Tri-Star logos on the sleeves and I like that they seem to have added more orange overall.

 

[OrangeEtBlanc]

Excellent alt unis, even if a bit busy in design. I like how it is intended to represent the entire state, and they did a great job of incorporating the Tri-Star in unique ways. UT is not just the university of Knoxville & East TN.

If we are going to wear burnt gray then we might as well wear burnt orange too.

 

[DonDiego]

They're a little busy, lots going on with these unis, but I like them--best Greys yet. I really like the white outline around the numbers. I wish they'd do that with the black unis.

Still want this helmet for road games

 

[AllVolinGA]

Great.

Much better than previous orange helmet attempts. Would like a semi-metallic version.

 

[knoxvol52]

I know, I know ... the kids love 'em.

Hopefully they're worn in one of the non-conference games, but not NC State.

That's all that matters is the kids love them.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I like the white stripe next to the orange on the helmet.

Nice touch.

 

[JRich]

Cool.

 

[CR-vol]

Looks great!

 

[arkyvol]

What the hell is wrong with orange and white?

 

[MoonshineVolunteer]

I like Tennessee across the front. The helmets are

It's like a marketing team's wet dream. Reads like they had a checklist and said "let's go nuts with this one, put all kinds of crap on it." The stars everywhere - that has nothing to do with the Vols. Stars on the helmet, stars on the pants, stars on the jersey. I don't know why, but when I see all that I think of some team like Virginia Tech or whoever.

The continued obsession people have with "oh let's put the tri-stars on it" thing thing is meh. I get why people gravitate toward it, it's one of the few state specific symbols out there, but it doesn't have much to do with UT aside from being on the state flag. I wonder if it's there because they think consumers from all across the state would identify better with the program if it felt inclusive of state symbols? Yeah, that sounds like something someone would say in one of those meetings.

The "Tennessee" on the front is silly. I agree with whoeveer above said "it feels Butch Jones-ish." It really does.

It's not like it's totally awful, and I don't care about kids wanting alternates or whatever, but it doesn't feel like it has a lot to do with Tennessee. The curse of college apparel, I suppose. Always wanting to sell you the next thing.
