I'm all for tradition but I do believe that the vol's uniforms have been long due for a makeover. It doesn't have to be anything extreme but for example, why couldn't they simply do an orange jersey with white numbers that are trimmed in black in the same way their away jerseys are done? Also, I think the white helmets with orange stripe and T would look good if they were outlined in black as well. I say keep the white pants but have a wide orange stripe with black trim on the sides and wear black shoes. It's nothing too radical but it would make the uniforms stand out more. And since technically black is not a color, it's not like we'd be changing the color scheme at all. It would just be providing some definition to what's already there. Plus black is already being widely used in a lot of the Vols merchandising so, why not?
BTW, an all black jersey would be hideous.
