Uniforms - Back in Black (merged)

[wrangler]

I've never liked black. Our colors are orange and white, so that's what our team should wear.

 

[EODVOL]

Wear what the kids want. If I recall, the team and captains have a say on uniforms to an extent. Doesn't matter what the fans want. If the black uniforms get them hyped more than they already are, then I am all for it.

So, today on the Vol Quest podcast, I'm fairly certain I heard Austin Price correctly that they are wearing the black uniforms on Saturday.

with black helmets this time?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

It's not up to you

 

[SayNoToJorts]

Cue dressed for our own funeral jokes

I'd prefer alternates be worn once/ year to keep their newness but I'm fine with it if its what the team wants

 

[Sara Clark]

I generally don't care what they wear. Sure, I have my favorite...but really, it doesn't matter to me. Just win!!!! GBO!!!

 

[peaygolf]

I wish they would bring back those early 90's unis.

not with the black outlines and the gigantic numbers

 

[RhodesVol]

not with the black outlines and the gigantic numbers

Oh, man, those were my favorite parts. Haha.

Having numbers that could be read from space was something that only UT and Ohio State did back in the day. It was somewhat unique.

 

[whobethis16]

So much for the argument that they'll be a rare occurrence....

 

[VOLfrombama]

Just play hard, who cares uniforms, play 60mins flawless even if we lose, us who don't have vbs can respect what our coach has done with nothing

Vacation Bible School? I always enjoyed that as a kid

Touché.

With reference to those photos, I do wish we would remove the orange collar on our away jerseys now. I feel like it makes our uniform look like some generic Nike template, whereas the above would be better.

I'd like the grey outline on the numbers that were used back in the late 80's for a couple of games. Majors hated them. I thought the looked pretty good.

Black is cool and all but Younger players need to understand the value of vintage too

 

[1982Alum]

When is the last time a team won a game this big in the traditional orange home jerseys?

Answer: Far too long ago.

We should wear our colors (orange and white) and go into battle as former teams have done in the past,

Screw the grey and black unis. They suck!

The black outline on the away jerseys looks so bad because the helmet has solid orange lettering with no black outlines.

I'm not a fashion person, but it's obvious it doesn't match.

100%

Kinda cool to do something different............once or twice a year.

PS..... I like the smaller Block T. That is vintage.......and the tear aways

 

[Hunerwadel]

Our colors are orange and white. What's wrong with you people?

Let's do something unique with Orange and White then.
Kids love the alternate stuff.

 

[HalfullVol]

Didn't @DeerPark12 mention we were expecting to have black helmet in or was I mistaken?

 

[wrangler]

It's not up to you

My opinion is 100% up to me.

 

[HalfullVol]

 

[Keefus]

All orange for me but whatever the players want is cool.

Agree

 

[Keefus]

Nor does anyone care what you think as well.

I care

 

[PTownVol]

Who cares?

Just put a good effort on the field. If the black unis make the players feel good, I don't care. Just try to make our score bigger than their score.
