Tennessee's long lost second version of the Smokey Gray adidas football uniform surfaced on Twitter on Friday, worn by a youth football team in Israel. The New England Patriots team twitter account posted an image of the uniform.

I missed this piece from last year, SIAP:
Hundreds of University of Tennessee football jerseys are arriving in Israel after the university donated much of its old gear to the Israel Football League. According to the IFL’s coaching coordinator Dan Phillips, UT is the league’s largest donor of equipment by far, donating more than 700 practice jerseys along with compression gear and other materials.

Were those actual jerseys our players were going to wear? Makes no sense that they aren't too big for those kids.

It would be kinda awesome to recruit a kid from Israel. They would have to complete those first two years of military service though.

Yes, but take a closer look. They are pretty small. My high school team was bigger, and we are to believe Division I players were going to fit into those. It is a youth football league. Makes no sense.

The jerseys are made out of compression material, So they will expand and contract to fit who is wearing it.

They are the same model jerseys as what Tennessee wore in the 2013-14 seasons. The materials are super-stretch, which allow them to have a reasonably tight fit, no matter the size of the person wearing the jersey.
