You both need to grow up. There are multiple sides to every debate, and someone disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily make either of you wrong.

But making it personal and insulting someone's opinion or ideas is incredibly childish. I thought we were all adults here and could have an actual mature debate. Clearly, I was mistaken.

Who cares, what we wore 120 years ago. That combination looks like a turd.

That crap should be put in the garbage.

Black or a new orange and white design or gtfo.

Who cares what we wore 120 years ago, yet you all wanting black want it because we wore it before the current color scheme? Hypocritical much?

Yep this is great, so many argued for black and used "it's historical" as a convenient excuse, but when we throw in tan they suddenly don't care about tradition. Looking at the uniform picture, between orange, white, black, and tan, black is actually the color we used the least amount of time.

Only a few used that for an argument...

Most of us that want black just think it looks good and like the look. Black with a metallic helmet would look great.

That's because tan is almost universally recognized as a horrible uniform color.

Soooo, in a nutshell, this thread has gone from being fun and informative to a back and forth game of " I know you are but what am I"!

The thing that's just mindboggling to me is people on here claim to be "VFL", bleed orange and white, diehard Vol fan, etc, yet want the team to wear something that is anything but orange and white, and the color of the team just west that they hate so much. Why would ANY Vol fan want to wear the colors of Vandy? Let's randomly wear orange and blue and look like Florida while we're at it.

If they actually make changes, we may have to create a new subforum.

PREDICTION: If Tennessee wears an alternate this year, the servers will melt down due to the number of folks critiqueing the shoe strings and width of the orange stripe on the helmet. And if there is an ounce of black in that uniform, DP may be tarred and feathered by an angry mob.

Since when is UTs colors black and orange? Officially? Remember how bad UGAs all black was? Yeah, it'd be even worse for UT to do it.

And UGA has black has an official color.

To see how stupid the black trend has been, see Virginia Tech's black uniforms and more recently, Nebraska's new blacks.

This has gotten out of hand and turned into a ridiculously childish, name calling, whine fest.
There's no argument that both Black and Tan have their places in the history and tradition of the football program regardless of how long ago and how short of a span in time they may have been used.
The argument, by some, is whether or not they should be used today since neither are official school colors. The answer by many is that it would be ok if it was brought back as a tribute to old uniforms of the past. That's all well and good. Nobody I've seen in this thread has ever been an advocate of doing away with current uniforms to be replaced by black or tan. They are simply wanting a change of pace to "spark" interest and add enthusiasm with a new, edgy look now and then.
One argument, aside from it not being an official UT color, is that black is "used up" and out dated. My argument to this is that black has always been associated with the "bad guy" or villain. Black is edgy and intimidating. Think of "bad guys" throughout history in movies...and when I say bad I don't necessarily mean evil, but mysterious as well. The bad guy usually drives the black car, wears the black leather jacket, the black hat, etc. Black comes with a certain mystique and intimidation factor and it has never gone out of style. Regardless, I don't think we will be seeing a black uniform anytime soon so that argument is basically useless.
Tan on the other hand, although its a part of UT's uniform(s) of the past, doesn't add much, in my opinion, aside from historical value which isnt so bad, however, I truly believe there are other styles and colors weve used throughout our rich history that would be more appealing. I don't see tan giving us a "spark" or that "edge" an alternate uniform is known for.
I have full confidence that the AD and CBJ will find middle ground in a uniform that will be both appealing and edgy as well as a tribute to years gone by.
Stop acting like children. Offer an opinion, and don't be so butthurt when someone has a different one.

You've not seen people want to get away from the traditional uniforms? The black idea went from a one-time thing to every Halloween game, to once a year, to every big rival game.

A revamp is all well and good, but it does not need to involve something that is a gimmick. It needs to be something like the 2002 uniforms with the thick orange stripe vs nothing and the double stripe.

I really haven't and I've been reading this thread for a long long time. Maybe I just don't remember well but the ones I do remember advocating an alternate is for one, maybe two games a year.

There have been several posters saying we need completely new uniforms and repeatedly posting the ugliest garbage I've ever seen as their proposals, including but not limited to orange jerseys with black outlines on the numbers, orange helmets with black power Ts, etc.
