Butch says no grey uniforms for Florida, undecided if we'll wear them at all in 2014

[triad280]

They were probably pushing those damn checkerboard sleeved soccer jerseys and CBJ
gave Adidas the finger...

 

[DD4ME]

He didn't do that last year and Butch is pretty consistent.

I read an article last year that he did base it off of player performance. Admittedly he had a lower standard with apparently effort and all that rah rah stuff counting from practices instead of actual wins. That's how we ended up with it again for Vandy iirc. My personal belief is that Jones likes the Grey and is afraid he will taint it for good if we lose again. That or the ones queued up from Adidas are so bad there is a scramble to get a second version.

You do understand that you are dumb if you believe in a uniform curse?

Just to be clear.

Just as dumb to say that uniforms make a difference since they are nothing but a gimmick.

 

[onevol74]

We've lost more than our fare share wearing orange and white too....people need to stop blaming the color of the uniform. Those uniforms don't have crap to do with effort, athletic ability, and execution of a game plan.

I agree in general with your statement but that uniform combo has more wins than any other combos and probably more than Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Ole Miss programs have combined.

We could let UF wear their blues, go storm trooper and do a whiteout

 

[VolsRule]

Blackout for the florida game! This will get the players and fans pumped up!!!

Lets roll with this. I often on NCAA football game will switch to our road jerseys at home.

 

[Orangedogsrule]

Well we were 0-2 in them.

Rx for getting over sports superstition

Boil a gallon of water from a faucet in Neyland Stadium in a cast iron pot:

Add: A black cats hair ball, splinter from a wooden ladder, salt thrown over your shoulder, snakes eyes, chicken bones, & sweaty 'lucky' socks and boil 1/2 hour stirring constantly and breathing vapors.

Strain and stir liquid in to 1 gallon of Killians Red brought to you by a Wicka.

Drink entire brew as rapidly as possible.

You won't care what color unis are worn.

NO! Not putting this situation in the hands of a person who cannot form a complete and correct sentence.

Just saying and no offense!

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Personally, I want orange jerseys and white pants when the gators come to visit.

I don't really care. Just wanna win

 

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

Just win the damn games not fashion statements!

 

[Orangethumb]

Guarantee he's told the players their performance determines alternate uniforms. If we beat UF then yes you will see them.

This. I think he's using them as an incentive.

 

[GrowVol]

Glad

 

[Manvol]

Good

Your post is cursed. You should go sacrifice some goats.

 

[JVol76]

Damn adidas sucks. Gear, colors, ankle sprain causing cleats due to weight balance and what part of the shoe absorbs the pressure. All of it.

Adidas is better than that Nike s**t they are switching to.

Consistently trying to find new motivation tools.

 

[snypervol33]

Don't care for the grey. I'm already tired of it. Never cared much for the design of the unis to begin with. Tennessee is orange and white.

And smokey grey!

But again...the "orange and/or white" uniforms didn't have crap to do with those wins. I like them....have no problem at all with them....but there's nothing wrong with pumping some flash into the color pallet. The players love them...many fans love them and like it or not...recruits love the move. It's just a sign of the times...it's not like they're trying to change the "Power T" or changing our mascot! "Change" can be so hard for some!

 

[badkarma]

Hell yea stick with tradition

 

[DaphneVol]

He must have saw how ugly the grey jerseys are

Maybe they should wear the grays this week

 

[vol_in_ar]

Jones: No decision on gray uniforms

Interesting.......

thank God...

 

[jasonvol18]

I definitely want to see them this year. I'm ok with it not necessarily being against Florida (personally I want all orange against Florida) but I still want to see them. KY/Mizzou are great options, or the bowl game is good too.

Betting it will be the Ala game!

Sounds like something the Witch Doctor would prescribe. Bones never lie!
