Regarding the Nike/Adidas debate, I'm just wondering if Tennessee is aware that your two biggest rivals (Bama and UF) are among Nike's "elite" customers and 2 of only 3 schools to be wearing the most advanced uniforms in college football this season?

Florida Gators will wear new Nike football uniforms for 2013 season - Gamedayr : Gamedayr

Bama actually already wore the new jersey technology in the national title game vs. Notre Dame. We will be debuting them this fall, along with Texas. The uniforms are made from ridiculously lightweight material and will be the most breathable college football uniforms in the country - perfect for an environment like The Swamp. This could equate to several extra snaps for first team players before needing a breather.

The Vols need to get out of the Adidas contract and close the gap. Notre Dame was wearing Adidas and you saw what happened against our newest Nike technology that Bama was wearing. Eddie Lacy was zipping up and down the field, Bama's O line never got tired, Amari Cooper was flying behind the defense..it's time for UT to upgrade and get on track with the other leaders of the SEC. Look at it this way: If us and Bama are doing it, it has to make sense.

You, sir, are an idiot.

I remember Oklahoma St. wearing some kind of gray uni 2 years ago. It clashed with their orange and didn't look too hot. They opted not to wear that combo the following season.

This place would explode if they came out in something like this.

I don't know what type of drug you're on but it must be working pretty good to post something stupid like that.....

That was the year they had about 15 uniform combos.

I think West Virginia dropped their gray uniforms too.

The gray accents on our undershirts and socks looked good last year. A full uniform, I don't know...but the gray accents looked good. Imo.

I have been looking for about an hour thru pages and pages of these uniform threads. Does anyone have a picture of the orange sparkle ut helmet w/ the Davy Crockett logo on the side?

I'm really happy with home jerseys. I think they look great and I love Coach Jones' state pride. I like the road jerseys as well, although I'm not to crazy about the checkerboard in the numerals. But they could turn out real nice especially during night games. :)

Here are the backs of shirts I made for the O&W game. How fortuitous would it be (at least for me and the few people who own one of these) if our new alternate uniforms closely resembled these? :)

The whole thing about gray -- I've had a gray addidas/power T long sleeve shirt since the 90s (it's a nice charcoal color slightly darker than the images that have been shown w/addidas 3 stripes on it). I also have a black hat with orange power T from that same time period and even a black fleece pullover (all bought on campus). So the colors has been around a long time.

Deerpark, knows more than I but I don't think those of us not in the know can really use all this stuff to go by, I mean it's been around for a looong time.
