When do y'all think we announce what our uniforms will be and what do you think they will look like? I'm hoping for the traditional orange tops and white pants but just figured this could be something fun to discuss since its close.


I created this thread because VT has apparently unveiled their uniforms for that game via one of their recruits, which I assumed would be against the rules. For those who want to see them here is the link.

Haha, man, I see at least 11 different "uniform" jerseys just in that photo:

-- Solid black, high-neck
-- Solid black, low-neck
-- Solid black, v-neck
-- Solid black, deep v-neck
-- Horizontal double stripes, white, no break
-- Horizontal double stripes, white, button-up break
-- Horizontal double stripes, gray (or other medium tone color), no break
-- Sleeve stripes, thin, 7 per side
-- Black high-neck with Power T on chest
-- Black v-neck with Power T on chest
-- "Yale" v-neck with double neck cords and unidentified chest design in medium tone

11 uniforms for 17 fellows. Now, which one were you thinking? :)

He had a great point in that announcement. He said that this game will be notable for years due to it being the largest of all time and that people will see videos for many years. When the videos come on they will know who is on the field.

Smokey Gray and black are just fads, but Tennessee Orange is a College Football icon.

'I felt very, very strongly we would wear and traditional orange and white, our home uniform.' My logic goes if all goes as we expect and set an all-time attendance record, it will be replayed for decades. Ten years from now, our alumni, anywhere in the world, they would immediately know that Tennessee was in that (world's largest) game. ... In this instance, I felt strongly that tradition needed to prevail. I'm only speaking for us. The University of Tennessee will wear our traditional orange and white uniforms in that game."

I agree to an extent but Bristol is going to make this an annual gig and they will try and make it bigger and better yearly. It may only be the "Biggest game" for a year or so.

Really, who is playing in the 2017 game? Just wondering since it took two and a half years to get this one set up.

Like I said months ago. They want to post pictures of this game for decades to come, and want to have the familiar look.

We had agreed some time ago for it to be a color on color game, with the understanding Virginia Tech would wear its traditional maroon. Obviously, that is not happening, and displeasure has been voiced over that.

Other than an East Tennessee State game the next week, Bristol does not plan to host another football game in the foreseeable future. If they do host another football game, Tennessee will have right of first refusal to participate or not.

This article addresses that with the owner. Though he doesn't come right out and say yes his answer certainly doesn't say no either. If it's a huge success and they make tons of money...expect another one.

Again, they're not having a game in 2017. I can't get into the details of contract that Tennessee has with them, but I can tell you they're not having another game for at least three years and Tennessee will have the right of first refusal to participate in future games.

Even if successful, I don't see it happening on a regular basis.

BMS is making a lot of money off this because it is a rare/unique thing. They will lose that allure if it becomes a yearly event between random teams. They'll keep it a rarity in order to continue drawing a high level of interest.

Maybe like the occasional Vols game in Nashville?

I still think BMS has a lot of logistics issues to overcome. We shall see.


The VT uni's look like a cheap library.

I think that Nashville neutral-site game was a one-time deal. It was fun, but the money just isn't there to make it a regular deal. And if we're winning, we own the town without having to play there.

I realize its not exactly a target area for UT, but is Dallas something that would ever be considered if we were invited?

Second question, if the city ever gets their hearts right and relents on the entertainment tax, will the neutral site games slow down/end?

If the money is right, UT will play anywhere. Get an offer of 3-5mil to play at AT&T? Ya, UT will be there.
