Still prefer this jersey much more the Nike version. Love the little subtle curves on the numbers that match the curves/font of the power T. The small, subtle outline of the state on the back of the neck of the home jersey was slick. Also the checkerboard pattern inside the orange numbers on the road and gray jerseys was a much more creative, classy, and subtle way to integrate checkerboard into the jersey as opposed to that ridiculousness that Nike pulled out of their tails.
The checkerboard pattern wasn't noticeable unless you were up close to the Adidas version. It was also done with direction of the threading. To me, THAT is slick... I also actually didn't mind the "TENNESSEE" script above the numbers because it was away only...
And don't get me started on how much more I liked the Adidas version of the gray jersey. They "started" it and got it right, in my opinion. I love the white outline of the numbers and how it carried over to the stripes on the pants. Also, imagine if Adidas had been allowed to introduce gray helmets like Nike was allowed to do. The gray background with an orange T and stripe, outlined in white. Now that would "pop". The main reason some hold the Nike version in such high regard is the helmet anyway. Simply, Adidas could've knocked it out of the park with a matching helmet and not being stuck with the usual white...
