Vol uniform/helmet design discussion (merged)

[thattennesseeguy]

ok lets steer away from that area so my question doesn't get lost in a 400 page thread.....

anyone know when the new "Dooley" approved sideline gear and whatnot will be available to the general public?

Next season. You'll start seeing the new polos and tees in March and April. Jackets and fleece in the fall.

No, it'll be the new stuff that he will actually wear next fall.

The gear that was sold this year was what was agreed to by Kiffin, which is why you saw a lot of white stuff with orange accents.

The entire adidas line that they make for each school will still be sold, but retailers have been made aware what pieces Dooley has selected and have ordered accordingly.

If there were an "Andy Rooney Post" award, this would be a candidate lol.

yeah....getting older now.

Never managed to hang my jeans completely off my ass though.


I just don't see the value in whoring our colors, because nike schools do it too.

There should be an "Andy Rooney Post" award, would give many of us geriatrics something to play for!:good!:

The one's with the black trim are really good looking.

 

[clifbro23]

[KnoxVillain]

I'd like to see an orange facemask on the right one over the black.

 

[rockytop9808]

The right uniform looks like some cheesy arena league knockoff.

how so?
or are you just saying that becuase they have black and somehow violating the "traditional" crap?

The white/black outline shoulder stripe that runs down the arms?

Pretty corny.

but thats an undershirt that can be left out.
i like the helmet with the black and think one with the orange facemask would be good too

The shoulders aren't an undershirt.

i gotcha. was thinking you meant the part with the black stripe coming down the arm.
that part could be redone maybe but i am looking at the black trim that makes the uniform "pop" as they say

its not perfect but its certainly a step in right direction

As long as Dooley is coach, you're never going to see anything but what we have right now. He is as traditional as coaches come and has made it very clear to adidas that he wants NO changes to the football uniforms.

I highly doubt we'll ever see black again. He didn't even want to do all-orange as the players had requested.

 

[thattennesseeguy]

just got back from what used to be HoundDogs in Johnson City, now its called "Vol Place"

talked to the owner who just got back from a meeting with the big boys from Adidas a few days ago w/Dooley
Apparently they were none to happy about Dooley going rogue on his sideline gear this fall so they had some pretty in depth design discussions. Apparently all the mixed polos/jackets/fleeces (the base Orange with white accents, the base White with Orange accents, and the base Black with Orange accents) are all out the door in favor of solid color options. TIFWIW, just thought you guys would like to know
