I find it pretty amazing that we can’t do an orange helmet to wear on the road with white jerseys and occasional orange pants. I’ve heard all the excuses of they can’t get the orange right on the helmet… well, baseball had no problem doing it right. Get it done!!

Or at the very least, orange facemasks. That would look sweet against the white helmet.

I even like the gray outline on the numbers.

I know some on VN hate the uniform threads, but I love them…… I do like the idea of the smaller T.

We wore that style of helmet or something close to it in 2004-2006

with the smaller/thinner "T" ?

I never liked the black outlines either. Just looks weird. I can't help it if some people are colorblind and can't see orange on white lol.

I am colorblind. I can only see orange and white. Helps with my wardrobe options however

As long as the pants are not plain with no stripes? I am good with it.

I think the overall size of the T is limited by the safety features of the new helmets, you have a limited field above the bulge over the ear and the back of the head protection and venting.

They don’t match the orange baseball jerseys at all. It’s fine, but it’s still accurate.

I'm thinking the thinner 'T"

I know this is the football forum but was Tennessee baseball thinking with the curved upper part of the T?

Ah. Gotcha. Definitely a matter of taste, but I like the big fat power T of the 80s and 90s!

Easy, it had to be curved to match the 'staches of the day!

That was a good one

Yep, 90’s T is my preference as well. It is my understanding that Nike shrank the logo to fit into a square for branding purposes. I was originally pumped about Nike but now I miss Adidas honestly (pre tire-tread jerseys)

Yeah… these look so different, not even close(eye roll)

If you paint 10 different items all made out of different materials and different textures, your going to more than likely get 10 different shades of color. Even if you use the same color paint.

 

[lukeneyland]

Yeah and the skinny stripe. I like it as an alternate

As I said, they don't match the orange jerseys. These are very clearly the white jerseys. It's not as noticeable on the white and gray jersey sets, just like it wasn't really noticeable when the T on the football helmets didn't come close to matching the jerseys.

When you watch on TV, the orange helmets are a couple of shades darker than the orange jerseys. It's fine with me, but the inability to get them to match is still the reason UT doesn't have an orange football helmet.

I think the idea was to only use orange helmets as an alternate on the road with the white jerseys. I agree that with home jerseys it would be a bit much.

I brought this up before but maybe you can provide some insight. Has it ever been suggested or considered internally to put orange facemasks on the helmets? I always thought that would look so great against the white of the helmets! Especially with the away uniforms.

Arkansas for example. Their helmets red doesn't come close to matching the jerseys right now. I think UGA is similar.

We don't need an orange helmet though. Just wouldn't look as good.

We just need the matte black helmet to match the black jerseys and I will have no complaints.

When they wear the orange jerseys, it doesn't. It's not terribly bad or anything and it's much closer than it used to be but it's still not exactly the same.

Clemson's orange is darker than ours and theirs doesn't even really match.
