If they look like the game...the "Tennessee" script sucks.

I FREAKIN LOVE EM!!! They're the VOLS no matter what they wear and I will watch them and most likely never give a simple thought or even notice the minor changes when they hit field.
Either way, there are better marketing and design people then me who worked on this and I trust them to put a good looking product that represents us well on the field.

Some people, especially you cheese man, are way too sensitive. It's an honest question. Why would one invest resources into a marketing product (be honest with yourself, beyond being equipment, that's what jerseys are) that will be unseen? Just doesn't make sense. Is the "subtle" design supposed to make us so much faster no one will catch a glimpse of it?

lol @ cheese man. all modern jerseys and sports apparrel are loaded with subtle designs and material patterns. its just subtle quality to be admired at close range.

Nevermind my picture didnt work...
Everyone chill out the changes aren't bad

Here's my ideas:

1. try a reversed helmet, orange with white power T and face mask

2. incorporate the checkerboard pattern as the stripe for the helmet and the stripe on the side of the pants. You could also put it on the jersey as a shoulder stripe

3. No more damn black jerseys of any kind. Period

1) has already been addressed. Due to the difficulty of matching the orange, and the problems with the way that wear and tear affects the color, an orange helmet is currently out of the question.

2) seems to be popular opinions, but subjectively that is an awful idea.

3) Agreed. But, Would grey upset you?

Nope, no rumor its true! Were wearing them in 2013!!!!

i think its pretty lame that we find out what our new uniforms will look like through screen shots from a video game. i dont know, maybe that was planned as a way to gauge fan reaction before uniforms were ordered. DP said that he saw renderings with and without black outlined numbers.

I'm still waiting for pictures of the real thing. As usual, there is just something funky about the EA version. Though the road jersey does look promising.

How about just a bigger orange band like this

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I wouldn't take EA's uniforms as gospel truth, they do get uniforms wrong; though I imagine even if they aren't 100% it's pretty close.

Or the one on the left

The one on the left is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.

How do you hate every orange and white concept and like tan? Ridiculous! That's why it gets blasted so much.

That is freakin sweet! Love the checkerboard it's very subtle abd doesn't change the color

Yeah I know, pretty subtle. Don't know how anyone could hate that. If you don't like it at least a little then you don't like orange and white. It's not a lot different than the regular ones.

The subtle checkerboard isn't bad. I just don't see anything wrong with our helmets at all. Nothing.

Why does something have to be wrong to use an alternate design for a game or two?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If you have something that works and is indicative of a great brand, changing is more likely to hurt the brand and the image than help.

If you have something that isn't working, or a brand that isn't built, change doesn't matter.

I wonder how much an occasional change has hurt Notre Dame, Ohio State, Mich, Nebraska....etc?
