I feel that style, with the T like that, is better as an orange jersey with a white T. Would've preferred to see a script Volunteers or Vols across the chest for the whites. The Smokey looks odd to me on a baseball uniform, though I prefer the classic white at home and light gray on the road. The style is great on the grays, though.
God I hope not. We have created a very attractive aesthetic (considering what we had to work with). The traditional stirrups need to stay, unless we go with full length pants this year.
These socks are not going to cut it.
Granted, the promo pics didn't even have the guys wearing belts, so maybe some pieces were just tossed in there. Theres still time to tweak the design for the spring sports.
Overall, I like the whites, but I'd prefer black (or grey) accents including socks, belts, and maybe a hat, but the orange/white is not a bad look. The greys are sick. I initially didn't like pants that dark, but I've come around. It'll be interesting to see the look on the field come spring.
