Vol uniform/helmet design discussion (merged)

[hmanvolfan]

Obviously you are fashion challenged or color blind. Either way I will ask you to only campaign for orange pants with the white away jerseys and never see the all orange uniforms again. It's just tradition and good fashion sense....

I thought this was going to be a Black thread.

question.

why is it called Ask Griff if nobody ever seems to be asking you anything?

No!!!! Please spare us.

I personally like seeing the orange pants with the white jerseys sometimes. The all orange look, not so much.

 

[JZVOL]

It would be awesome to see Bama in crimson and UT in orange!

I may be mistaken, but weren't the white pants just introduced in the 70s. Prior to that (and at sometimes subsequent as well), we used orange pants for both home and away. So while I agree with you that fashion sense indicates no orange on orange, I think tradition might go the other way.

White pants with the orange jerseys go back to time immemorial. If I am wrong I welcome a well researched rebuttal.

I personally like the white jereys with the orange shoulders they wore I think last year.

If I were in the Tennessee marketing department, I'd consider sacrificing a timeout for some TV games just to get that orange out there.

I don't think the marketing department has much power when it comes to making a decision that could effect a football game.

I can see this going in one direction: do you like all orange uni's or do you not?

It's like UT's version of roe v wade.

I'm willing to admit defeat here. :salute: I have an autographed picture of Johnnie Jones back home of him wearing orange on orange, so I do believe that the ugly combination has been around for some time. However, I do remember my hundred years of volunteers cards from 89-90 which showed everyone from Johnny Majors to Roland James wearing orange and white.

If we tried to work a deal with Saban or Meyer it would backfire and they wouldn't take the timeout. They are snakes.

I hope Kiffin brings back the thin strip on the helments....that thick one kills me

I too like the orange shoulders w/the orange pants.

Those were my favorites

Griff's not a UT fan? I guess I don't read enough of his columns.

NCAA won't let us wear them anymore...

GASP. Take it back!

Do you have the entire set of those? I collected them when I was a little kid, but I just bought packs of them instead of the full box set I guess, because I am missing 20-25 of the cards. I put them in a notebook with those plastic sheets for sports cards, so I know I probably didn't lose any of them.
