If it's so trivial, why are you still arguing the point? :ermm:

There is nothing trivial about wanting to preserve tradition. And no, I don't think adding a little black to the uniform threatens tradition, I'm just calling you on your statement that the subject is trivial when it is clearly not trivial to those on either side of the issue. Otherwise, there would not be twenty threads on the subject...

I am not arguing anything. You either like it or you don't. The problem is that many of the people that don't like it act like the powers that be are committing some major crime. They aren't. They are keeping players and potential recruits happy. When it comes down to it, they can wear pink for all I care, as long as they win doing it.

Many of those that are *****ing about tradition are the same lot that let Fulmer slowly wreck the program because he was "a Tennessee boy." You will have to pardon me if I don't care what they think about the team and their freaking jerseys.

And I have been a UT fan since birth. I turned 26 today. I may not have the same background in the tradition as a lot of you, but I have enough to know that the Tennessee tradition i care the most about is winning.

And Saturday night, Tennessee (10) strutted some black jerseys with orange numbers against South Carolina. Dash reaction: Not quite as hideous as anticipated, but not exactly a look that evokes memories of Gen. Neyland, Johnny Majors, Reggie White and Peyton Manning. If the decidedly nontraditional Lane Kiffin thinks it would help him sign a recruit, the Volunteers would come running out through a cursive "T" before their next home game.

God, those jerseys are just hideous. How dare they mess with tradition and get more publicity? Recruits don't want to play for cool programs, they want to pander to crabby old people who piss and moan because some young whipper snapper is blocking their view of the game by standing up and cheering. Fire Lane Kiffin now, Phillip Fulmer is the only person who can possibly save this program from becoming a hip championship contender.

Does anyone here understand TRADITION????????

Texas, Penn State, Bama, USC, Navy, Army, Michigan, Ohio State(I'm sorry I ever said anything positive about that crap hole).......

Would they do the black jersey?????(Don't say Army...they are black/gold)

It is about tradition!!!!! The uni's looked good, team played well......but looked like a bunch of copy-cats. Be unique...and STICK with tradition!

So we should be unique by doing what the majority of all the others schools do? This obviously is something that rarely happens in college football. I think we have a good opportunity at UT to exploit our orange especially during Halloween.
I think everyone on here understands tradition just fine. Question: How are traditions started? Some innovative and creative person decided to change up how things had been done and move the program forward. That is exactly what CLK did. I am pumped about the black & orange and honestly hope we do it every year at the game closest to Halloween. That would be something no other school could do. This isn't about getting rid of tradition its about adding to it. Our university is growing and developing and if we stay rooted in our traditions while developing new ones we will do well.

wow, can't believe there are this many people still b*tching about UT wearing a black and orange jersey, ONE TIME, on Halloween.

The game's over. The holiday is over. The jersey is over. Get over it already.

Only problem is when you give someone an inch, they want a mile. (I.e., "Do it again with black pants and black helmets.")

It was neat for a one-time Halloween night game, but let's not get carried away.

Case in point: Florida Gators justice, Tennessee Volunteers jerseys and Georgia Bulldogs helmets hit The Dash - ESPN

Isn't it great to be mentioned with football programs like North Carolina instead of Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama (I know), USC, and Penn State?

Which one of Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, USC and Penn State was on the front page of the college football section of ESPN today?

I think they look good, even with the orange pants. An all black look would have been awesome though. Next time, we'll be in black pants, and there will be a next time!
