We should make the Black Jerseys an every 2 year tradition Vs. SCjr at home.

But at the same time I don't want to give them anything to make them feel important...so scratch that.

Only if we play then at Neyland and it's October 31st. That was fun, I have to admit. I wore the pompom pants to that game since it was Halloween.

I hope they wear black once every year... the meltdown here would be fun.

I wonder if the University of Texas got the pose for their statues from the University of Tennessee...and specifically this pic

And that makes black a traditional color?

My opinion. Black is a nuetral color. That means we can wear it.Just like fans out there wear gray and orange or navy blue and orange or black and orange shirts or hats. But if you want to be anal about it I guess Black would be traditional for any team.Are you going to tell fans not to wear those kinds of shirts and hats. Don't be afraid of change man. Change happens whether u like it or not. It would be nice to see it(black) once a year. Don't be a hater.

As long as we keep the white jersey on orange pants I'm happy. Wouldn't mind seeing the black uniforms every once in a while though.

Different colored uniforms are a sign of the times, young college players like to change things up from time to time because it fun! Why do you think Oregon is turning into a powerhouse, it's not because one day kids started saying lets go to Oregon to play football...it's because it's the fresh new thing....Oregon knows what they are doing and marketing new uniforms and shoes to kids is how they do it.

Don't get me wrong, i love Tennessee's tradition just as much as the next guy but i also would love to be a team that's new and innovative as well...Whether any of us liked the black jerseys or not, the players did...are we all losing track of what this game is all about...My Vols and your Vols will still be the team we all love no matter what color they choose to wear on any given night.

We all say a player should pick the school and not the coach, well why don't we pick the school and not the jersey...I say let the players have their one game of black jerseys....I'm cheering for them no matter what cause I'm a TENNESSEE VOL FAN, not a jersey hater!

GBO!!! or Black :salute:

So, the first jerseys being black were because they couldn't read way back then?

(Wonder if it was because they could make black look cleaner than white? Were we still beating them on rocks on the bank of the river?...library had seven books, none on soap)

Fact. The first jerseys were black because there was not much money to be spent on football jerseys in 1890. As soon as football became popular they became orange!

I saw this on a different thread before. Hate to burst your bubble, but I think black is acctually an official UT color.

The University of Tennessee | Graphic and Editorial Guidelines

go vols

you should read a little more in that thread

The Athletic Department has a different Style Guide, BTW.

The official Style Guide for both UT and the UTAD states that the black color listed should only be used for rendering text, and should not be used in coloration of logos. The information posted was a logo sheet, not a complete style and usage guide.

So there are sets of official school colors and you can only use them at certain times, certain types of work. Seems stupid. Black is an official color, if you like it or not.

yes that is the case at most companies. It's an official color for text

I don't see why everyone hates the black.. OSU does black jerseys and their colors are orange & white with some hints of black. We are two, but the black is on the away.. We also need to get rid of adidas while we're at it..
