[RDU VOL#14]

I took it this was about EASports CFB25...it's a July release...right?

I was thinking it had something to do w/ new alternate unis. Could be the video game, could be a really fun way to let us know that Gwyneth Paltrow is a Vol fan. I don’t know.

Please be better than last years. 2023 Smokey was the worse since adidas

I actually really like the artful dodger unis

With a baseball uniform, sure.

You comment like baseball players, football players, and basketball players live in separate spaces on opposite ends of the country.

A great Vol is a great Vol. All these individuals are different student/athletes just fighting different battles in different places. They all wear the orange. They all share the same teachers. They all are VFLs.

Honoring other sports at other sporting events is something that has been happening as long as sports has been around.

You are in the majority minority in this opinion, and well, as much as I don’t like to use this terminology, your opinion is 100% wrong and misguided.

It would be an honor for the Vols to wear a pinstripe to not only honor the greatest woman/maybe just coach in college basketball history, but also to honor a warrior who fought through a horrible ending that nobody should have to face.

Hey @DeerPark12 whats the good word? Any info?

They’re going to do a series of teasers for this year’s Smokey Grey, something about elements of all part of the state. They’re supposed to wear them for the opener again, but that was before it was announced as a day game, so maybe later.

Haven’t seen them, my contact at Nike got a promotion and is out of the day-to-day. These were designed by UT in-house instead of by Nike, so hopefully they won’t be bad.

Thanks for the info as always. Sounds like maybe the Tri-Star might be involved.

Football is the premiere program at Tennessee. It always has been. This may be a shock to you but I don't care if you agree. It looks tacky on a football uniform.

Doubt the tri-star, Nike has resisted using it because it’s not trademarkable. I think it’ll be more design-related like the mountains on the helmet

Gotcha. That’s too bad. Could be cool if they used it right. Wouldn’t mind seeing the interlocking UT .

You mean the burnt gray? Smokey gray is almost white.

The Grey face mask w/ the helmet looked sharp. Last year’s grey unis looked much better on the field than in the store.

God, I hate the "Holloway" jerseys so much. If they never made an appearance again, it would be too soon. They look like a Temu version of a Div III directional school uniform.

You can disagree, but I really don't care (and think you need to make an optometrist appointment).

For a lot of us old-timers that saw him play back in the 70’s the “Holloway” jerseys are more nostalgic than anything. To this day, Condredge is still my all time favorite Volunteer.

Those aren't the Holloway jersey. Not even close.

NHL jerseys without sleeves. Horrendous.

Depends on how you define premiere

That's what they're referred to as. The original was hideous, the '04 version was atrocious, and last year's version was horrendous.

Facts.

See above. It's what they're referred to as.

I get it, I do. Condredge was a trailblazer, a phenomenal player, and (by all reports) is an even better man. Doesn't change the fact that those jerseys look like ****, have always looked like ****, and should have been left in the 1970's as some sort of LSD-induced fever dream where they belong.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Off my rocker ideas. It's OK, I don't have a rocker anyway.

Batman gray and black unis. With the "T" in some form of orange bat shape.
Orange jersey and pants, white leggings and shoes, "T" designed to look like lightning bolt on jersey and helmet. Think the Flash costume.
But my real ?would love to see" designs are The Fantastic Four looks. With the blues in orange, blacks and whites say put as they are.


And Maybe the X-Men uniforms. Blacks stay as is, yellows colored orange. I know, traditionalists will hate it. But imagine the draw it would be for recruits. Sign up with the coolest team unis, even cooler than the Oregon Ducks.

Referring to them as Holloway jerseys isn't a fact. I agree the grey with orange on the shoulders is hideous. The 70s version was white. So they're not the same
