Love the black jersey concept but remove the stupid checkerboard from the jersey, bad enuff having checkerboard endzones. Great looking helmets tho.

Maybe if the colors were right. Looks more yellow and orange. This design is cool but needs some tweaks. The colors need to be orange where the black is and the yellow should be white. Maybe vice versa for away games. If you want it to just be a special game jersey, then fix the yellow color to a richer orange.

It would look good with whit instead of the black and the orange checkerboard. That would be badass

I like it change it up. About time Tennessee start new traditions and do new things. Time to embrace a new era of TN football out with the old in with the new.

Love the helmet. Overall I like the jersey, although not certain how much I like the checkerboard shoulders. Would like to see them on a player or mannequin to see the full uniform. Would like to know what color the pants would be.

I love it. Orange pants too? I'd have to see the combination. I've never been big on a jersey change but I do love this one.

Is that design for the soccer team? Looks like a soccer jersey

That must be it, a lot of people call soccer football for some reason. And for soccer fans, yes they use their hands in soccer as well, ask the keeper.

I'm pretty sure the checkerboard endzones were Dickey's idea in the 60's. Many years after Neyland.

No, Dickey revived them after seeing archival footage. We had checkerboards and other designs in the end zones in the 40s and 50s.

"The idea for the Vols’ checkerboard end zones came from former Tennessee football coach and athletic director Doug Dickey. When Dickey took over as coach in 1964, he had the end zones painted with the checkerboards.

"I got the idea to use checkerboard when I saw it in a magazine, maybe in an ad," recalls Dickey, who’s retired. "The design caught my eye and I thought we needed to dress up the stadium. It was drab and we needed some color.

“People liked the checkerboard end zones, and it's nice to have an identifying product that's lasted over the years."

There’s also the fact that Dickey may have subconsciously gotten the checkerboard idea from the fact Birmingham’s Legion Field used to have checkerboard end zones dating back to the 1940s.

But those eventually disappeared, and so did Tennessee’s for a 21-year period, from 1968 when artificial turf was installed, to 1989 when new artificial turf was placed down. That’s when the checkerboards returned." SEC Traditions
