White Pants Confirmed (I was wrong)

[J C Higgins]

Not a fan of all orange.

In previous years the colors of pants and jerseys didn't match because they're made of different material and "take" the dye differently. At least as viewed on TV they didn't match.

Eh rather have orange on white. Not the biggest fan of the all orange. But honestly wouldn’t care if we wore diarrhea green so long as we win

You would care because they would be worn every Saturday til we lost.

Feels like '82.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

White pants with orange underwear worn on the outside like Batman. Wait....are we talking about game uniforms??? Ooops.

If they wear orange pants, expect a new helmet to debut this week.

Can confirm with absolute certainty that orange helmets were purchased in the offseason, but I did hear that they were returned to be repainted as they arrived and were the wrong shade of orange.

How does a mistake like this get made....someone color blind?

All orange is my favorite uniform. I vote yes.

Mine too.. it is a classic

They had a control sample but my guess is they really stuck out when paired with the orange tops/pants in-person.

What he said!

 

[SmokeVol]

I can live with orange jersey and pants but please don’t break out the orange helmet this game. We’ll look like Clemson

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Orange on orange with a black stripe down the pants to memorialize dead elephants is what I’ve been told.

Shout out to Unicoi County. IYKYK

 

[ttocswob]

It had to be a all orange day including the ball players...Love it!....We beat Bama in 1982 wearing all orange so i am all on board with it!

40... years... ago...

 

[LargeOrange1]

I'll wear orange on gameday, but my pants will turn brown if we don't win that game.

Be like Joe....trust Depends.

 

[Volholic]

Prefer white with a stripe

Facts. If we go orange on orange. Would there be any possibility of an Orange Helmet with white Power T? I am still no sold on the helmet and how that would look but if we are going to do any type of modification to the classic home look, it is best in my opinion to keep it Orange and white through and through. Paging @DeerPark12

I have been told that a potential orange helmet would only be worn with white uniforms on the road because of the potential for it to appear to be a different orange then the home jersey. For a long time, it wasn’t considered a possibility at all because it wouldn’t match, but the current bunch doesn’t see it as big of a problem as previous regimes did.

Danny White’s external operations folks have put together a branding guideline for all of the teams to follow. It says alternate uniforms are not to be worn against rivals or win championships are on the line. So you won’t be seeing Tennessee baseball in black in a tournament championship again. You won’t see the lady vols wearing the Summitt blue alternates against Connecticut or South Carolina. I don’t anticipate that applying to pants, but I would not expect an alternate helmet to be worn against Alabama.

I would one time like to see a home game combo of white helmet,orange jersey and gray football pants.

Dem orange britches…

something about dem orange britches!

Record isn’t very good in all orange.

I hope that changes Saturday

Worked in 1982. Another positive stat. Both teams have been ranked in top 10 on 10 different occasions during the series with the Vols holding a 7-3 record.

It worked in 1984 also in Tennessee's comeback 28-27 win over Alabama.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I think the orange pants are a great look, as long as our head coach isn't wearing them. That would bring back some bad memories.

Those of us who were there in '82 strongly disagree.

It should be the only alternate uniform.
