Vol uniform/helmet design discussion (merged)

[rocketskates]

I would like to see them change it up a tad on occasion, but, not stray too far from the traditional. I think the form fitting Adidas jerseys are pretty cool but for an alt maybe a checkerboard stripe down the legs or on the shoulder pads.

Checkerboards are fine for the endzones, but it looks like poo on a uniform. Leave them off, thank you.

Black looks "poo" on a uniform.

DP how does it work in the football world with new coaches and the supplier? at some point will CBJ sit down with the Adidas liason and discuss uniforms? Also, do you think the players will ask CBJ as they did CDD for uniform changes?

Black jerseys, black helmets, black lettering, black numbers, gloves, facemasks...everything

I think we should do black and white checkerboard also, remove the Vol walk, rename Neyland Stadium, pick a new mascot, and no longer have the team enter in the T.




(Note: I am being sarcastic, but lots of people seem to think that by simply going w/ black uniforms for one game means we are stopping all traditions)

how about black shoelaces, black numbers on the field, black chinstraps and a black sweater for smokey?

 

[onevol74]

What was our record the year BEFORE the black jerseys?

5-7

Dumbass

How many winning seasons have we had since? From your comment your are probably not very analytical.

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

How about we have a total whiteout, but the only exception would be the power T on the helmet.

 

[bigeasy]

not sure you could have a jersey that is white with white numbers

You have to be the dumbest if the dumb.

And around here, that is saying something.

The color of the uniform has zero impact on the win/loss column.

You think maybe hiring a crappy Derek Dooley had something to do with the record?

Idiotic.

I'm sure you're right. I'm more or less joking, but I think it'd be a neat concept. Best bet would be the white unis from the orange and white game, except wearing knee-high white socks and white shoes.

Of all of the fan attempts at this, I find this to be acceptable.

Black one looks awesome, white one looks like trash imo.

 

[Jimmytrue]

So what I want to know is, what's wrong with what we have, I like it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You must still have the same haircut you had in the late 80's.

Just an example..

And black field - would be like Boise's blue turf but playing on blacktop instead. :dance2:

The first thing the Adidas people will do with the coaching staff is sit down with them about what sideline gear they prefer so that retailers will have plenty of what the coaches are going to be wearing. As you know, Adidas has a wide range of stuff that they make for every team, so picking out the gameday wardrobe from that selection is the most pressing matter.

Dave Hart is also involved in the uniform process. Don't expect significant changes, especially to the classic home uniform.

You may see a situation like what Michigan has where the home uniform is classic and untouched, but they are allowed to be more creative with the road uniform.

Also, it should be noted that Hart was behind the "Keep Tennessee Orange" campaign this year and instructed coaches (and Adidas) that black was not to be worn on the sideline, so people's dreams of doing black again may be futile.

The one change I would truly like to see in uniforms would be for the NCAA to repeal that silly rule which was originally established for the purposes of recognition on television that requires the visiting team to wear white jerseys. I mean are black/white televisions still available for purchase?

When Tennessee and Alabama line up against each other, I would rather see them in their crimson jerseys and Tennessee in orange jerseys. This was the norm as recently as 1967 if you recall that Sports Illustrated cover photo of Albert Dorsey breaking up a pass against the Tide (see The longest unbeaten streak in all college football ends - 10.30.67 - SI Vault ). The only instance in which it would still be justified to require one team to wear white would be if they have very similar color schemes (e.g. Notre Dame vs. Pitt or Tennessee vs. Texas).

This does not constitute overly dramatic change and it would match the checkerboard pattern that they have already begun to incorporate on their undershirts.

I love the facemask, but not in love with the checkerboard. So, overall I'm cool with it.

 

[Volosaurus rex]

I too could take or leave the checkerboard "stripe" but they have already started down that path with the undershirts. I definitely would not want to see it on uniform pants.
