So I was looking over that incredible concept and felt overwhelmed at the perfection of it all. It was so right, me thinks I heard angels weeping. Only the hand of Peyton could fabricate such a perfect intersection of history, tradition and a nod to the modern trend. I felt as if I was looking directly at God. I fear for the safety of our opponents should we ever don such magical threads.

Then, I noticed that the jersey's have a Nike logo on them, and I threw up in my mouth. I guess we will just have to pass on those as options, Adidas wouldn't approve. Oh well...

This makes me want to punch a pre-schooler. I'd like to meet whoever created this abomination and punch him so hard in the chest that his shoulders touched.

Don't know that this is exactly news, it started to shift this direction last year, but at UT's request, Adidas will be making less black apparel available at retail. More orange and white. There will still be some black jackets and t-shirts, but moving further away from it.

Boo.

Will be nice to see more orange at games though. I like my black UT gear, but I don't wear it to home games unless we're wearing black jerseys...and we all know how often that happens.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but I think that for like just one game every few years on homecoming we could have someone design a Tennessee State Flag helmet. I know the colors would clash maybe but for that game wear our away jerseys and white pants. Just a thought maybe one of you computer freaks could shop a pic for me I would be very obliged.

Maybe something like this. I would say just take the blue out and keep it all orange. Just keep the white helmet and have the circle and stars in orange.

Because our "Sea of Orange" at football games was becoming a hodgepodge of orange, blue, black, navy, green, etc, and limiting to primary apparel to mostly orange and white will send it back in the right direction.

UT looked at what other schools were doing with their apparel and how other schools use their colors in making the decision. For example, you don't see very much black Alabama or North Carolina gear, they use their primary colors to stand out.

From a branding perspective, using our primary color as much as possible is a very wise move.

I have been saying this for years. We do not look like UT any more. I remember the game day crew talking about how impressive Neyland was when we played Auburn in 2004. They said that the orange in that stadium was a very impressive site. We look like Oregon State now.

I agree with the decision but its not like fans cant buy from other brands if they want black or grey or whatever.

I have a closet full of UT shirts and i think maybe one is adidas

this actually makes sense. is the black trim on the away uniforms going to stick around for the long term? seems like you may have mentioned Dooley wanting it removed.

No changes to that. They experimented with some samples without the black outline on a couple of occasions and couldn't get numbers that were the right orange to be visible enough.

Are the away Jerseys stitched or press on numbers?seems if they were stitched it would be easier to see with out the black out line
