Female Teams at UT to Wear Lady Vols Patch | Rocky Top Insider
A recent push from Tennessee lawmakers has led to a compromise with Tennessees administration and the use of the Lady Vols nickname.
The Lady Vols moniker was removed from all female athletics teams in July of 2015, with the exception of the basketball team, in a move that coincided with Nike becoming the official apparel provider of the University of Tennessee. Those teams were all brought under the singular Power T logo with the standard Volunteers nickname
Tennessee announced on Monday afternoon that all female teams will wear a Lady Vols patch on their uniforms in 2016-17. Female student-athletes will then have the option as to whether or not they want to wear the patch in subsequent seasons.
