Uniform/Helmet/Shoe design thread (merged)

I bet the players are as jacked as the fans are with these quasi traditional jerseys and black cleats. I’ll bet they dedicate their 100 point victory to the fans who forced this to happen

I love the old uniforms but they’re still missing something on them!!! What is it???

 

[ru4real-really?]

Fulmer and Pruitt made it clear no more gimmicks and alternate uniforms...Straight classic orange and white...How it should be

yea, but they aren't the ones wearing them! (just kidding)

 

[Rockytopvol86]

Why do so many hate on the checkerboard? It’s apart of neyland stadium. We all have it somewhere in our memorabilia.. lol so why not have it on uni somewhere? It’s a part of our tradition. These unis are the throwbacks to the 90s but we also can’t live in the past. Heck some of our original jerseys were BLACK!!

 

[508mikey]

Seriously though just please let them wear black socks.....

yeah imo thats whats missing -- even a white, orange and black combo on the socks --

 

[Catbone]

NEED black socks or another element of black on jersey.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Looks good, granted I don't care if they wear black jerseys as long as they win.

But it will be sweeter to watch them win in the classic uni that never goes out of style

 

[White Bread]

It moved

It’s here. Minor tweaks like I said.

Ironically the guy lettering the helmet wearing smokie grey, lol

I think white cleats are a bit sissified. If God had intended for football players to wear white shoes, He would've made them figure skaters.

I guess He turned a blind eye when Texas, Auburn, LSU, FSU, Clemson all won National Titles in modern football history. FTR I like black cleats.

Edit: Florida as well.

Nothing screams old man like black shoes with white socks

And nothing screams northern tourist like white knee socks and sandals in the mountains.

 

[lonelawyer]

Meh. Coaches Pruitt and Fulmer probably love tighty whiteys. A little flash is a good thing.

 

[WeeohdeeWood]

I miss the good ole days when men were men and not into fashion.

Hell, maybe they’ll bring back leather helmets for ya, and move the goal posts back up to the front of the end zones.

I like how even in the video they say they are leaning on tradition...it’s like they are subtly saying “we tried the new, flashy way. Now we are going back to tradition.”

Because a checkerboard stripe is oh so flashy

I think it will look just fine and Honor our Championship Team

Thick double orange stripes in pants.

 

[White Bread]

My biggest hope with the black cleats is that the spats come back.

 

[orangefloyd]

The classic uni we wore when Fulmer ran the program into the ground.

 

[BlountVols]

I hate black cleats with any uniform. Makes the players look slow and lethargic. Just a bad look in my opinion.

Think about teams watching film of the team "looking slow" then on game day they are not slow. Looking slow and being slow is not the same at all.

Haha I know right. Sucked playing in the conference championship every 2-3yrs.

I take it Morgan Freeman was unavailable to do the voice over for this video. Equipment manager will do I guess...

 

[MidnightVols]

I like them.

Something about them just screams no non sense and that's exactly what Pruitt is all about. They're super clean looking.

I do wish we see orange pants at some point, though. I love our shade of orange and the more, the better for me.
