I could get behind a "Smokey" uniform. Dark Gray jerseys with orange numbers trimmed in white with dark gray pants with 2 orange stripes would make the orange pop. Im gonna get bashed but it would be better than black because at least its an official school color.

I don't read dumb threads about uniforms. I go straight to the comments and make fun of you.

After all, this isn't your first dumb thread about uniforms.

So you just float around the forums with no purpose but to be jackass.

After all, everyone knows that you do that on a daily basis.

Good job champ

WE don't change over a 100 years of history and tradition because some douches thing black "looks cool" or is "hip".

maybe some of those douches would care more about tradition, if the people who came before them actually displayed a little class. just a thought.

Without this thread, I wouldn't know what our colors are. Thank you to everyone who reminds us we are orange and white. Special thanks to the people who do it in all caps. You are the true fans.

Nope, black is all colors. WHITE is the absence of color.

Black is most definitely 'a color'.

lol, you're wrong, as usual.

As a wave, white is produced by the interference of all the colors. Black is the absence of light.

The whole argument over whether one or the other is a color or not is dumb to begin with, though.

I learned today from reading all this stuff that black and white are not really "colors." I may use this in a report.

Looks like you got things backwards there friend and you're oversimplifying the whole science behind light and color.

How about a camo look for the jerseys in one of the games, - something like this:

Someone skipped fifth grade art class, I see. :eek:lol:

Try this, einstein...mix a bunch of colors together, see if you get white or black.

This is the classic 5th grade art class vs the undergraduate level physics class debate all over again. Will this never end?

Someone asked why the hate for black, I can only give my opinion.

I don't "hate" black, I actually thought the black jerseys were fine. What I can't understand is why everyone wants them so badly when it's been done by SO many freakin' teams now. My question is WHY must it be black? Why do so so many want a uniform that has been done to death? Breaking out a black uniform was "edgy" and "risky" like 15 years ago. Now every year some new team reveals one and it's a yawner. Why would you want to basically look exactly like another team?

I don't mind an alternate uniform, but making it black seems to the opposite of creative.

Mix every color crayon together and see what color you get. Does it appear black? Probably. But what does that mean? Crayons work with subtractive colors, meaning a red crayon absorbs blue and green light. Black is when no light and no color and no photons are going back to your eyes. So, how can it be all colors when black only appears in the absence of photons reaching your eyes?

Conversely, if you use a television (additive colors) putting red+blue+green together gives you white. aka all colors.

Like I said, you're oversimplifying things.

*Einstein

A person's name should be capitalized. Especially when trying to sarcastically refer to someone else because you are trying to prove (unsuccessfully) your subject is dumb or stupid or whatever term the cool kids are using these days.

LEAVE THE DAMN UNIFORMS ALONE!!!

Folks, we are orange and white!! Orange and white!! Come on...say it with me one more time. We are orange and white!!!

The only time I think it's appropriate for us to wear a black jersey would be at home when a game falls on Halloween! Thematically it makes sense and it's fun. Plus it only comes around every 6 years or so! Any other time, we are ORANGE AND WHITE!! If you don't like the colors, go root for another team.

I am amazed at the obsession people have with freaking uniforms! This is football, not fashion! Next thing you know, instead of running through the T in pre-game they're going to install cat walks and have each player come out one at a time while the PA announcer says "Today, Tyler Bray is sporting his new orange cleats with the black stripes to complement his white undershirt with the black and orange checkerboards." All the while Lady Ga Ga's "Baby I was Born this Way" plays in the background!

Give me a break!

Some of you probably don't even know how we got Orange & White.

"Maybe members of the Big Orange Nation would have guessed their beloved orange color came from General Neyland. Or maybe the Shields and the Watkins (For whom the field is named after). Or maybe it was some school president who liked the hue.
None of the above. The idea came from an undersized guard on Tennessee’s first football team in 1891 named Charles Moore who got the idea from the color of the American Daisies that grew on the what is known as The Hill, where most of the classrooms were at that time.

In 1892 students endorsed the colors at a special meeting, but two years later were dissatisfied with the choice and voted to drop them. After a heated one-day debate no other colors proved satisfactory, so the students returned to orange and white.
Fast forward to April 1898 when Moore, now the president of the Athletic Association, chose to color the school’s first field day in orange and white and the colors where there to stay.

However, the orange and white jerseys did not make their first appearance until the 1922 season as the Vols opened the year by beating Emory and Henry 50-0."

Oh and nice try here. Really bravo. You must've aced that art exam. But for the other 99% of the population, black is a color which of course is not included among UT's colors.

Well, as they say, what's popular is not always right, and what's right is not always popular:

The answers:
1. Black is the absence of color (and is therefore not a color)

Explanation:
When there is no light, everything is black. Test this out by going into a photographic dark room. There are no photons of light. In other words, there are no photons of colors.

2. White is the blending of all colors and is a color.

Explanation:
Light appears colorless or white. Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. A rainbow is proof. You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions bend the light rays and create a rainbow. You can also use a prism to demonstrate this.

Fact: The sum of all the colors of light add up to white. This is additive color theory.

Class dismissed. :dance2:
