I don't like orange pants, but would be nice to throw in a different uniform for a game once every now and then, maybe something with some black.

I just realized I spelled inserted wrong on that uni tweak page......

I can understand where people wouldn't like the black numbers on the back. I liked it because it shows up better than the orange ones do right now.

Originally, I was going to have a Power T in the stripe, but realized that something with a little more meaning might look better. I didn't want to go like Arkansas did with their latest redesign by Nike and go with "Tennessee" going all the way down the pants.

1794 is something that could, and should be featured on the Tennessee uniforms, if only with a subtle reference.

Also, you all might have noticed I went with the adidas logo that was worn by the '97 and '98 teams. It's a better looking logo than the "three stripes", and the shoulder is where it needs to be featured more prominently, not directly above the numbers. That's one of the little things that bug me about Tennessee's unis. They've got too many logos in the center and just to the right, and it crowds things up.

A more classic look with less logos on the jersey makes things look better IMO.

I love all these. The Stormtrooper uni's would be awesome against UGA in their black getup.

I really think tradition, as far as uniforms, is totally overrated.

I agree with moving the Adidas logo but I'd rather keep it the 3 stripes, keep it small

Yes you can see the black numbers better....maybe I'd get used to it

One thing I sorta dislike is the lack of continuity regarding the jerseys. The shirt in the home jersey and in the clockwork oranje should be the same. Same goes for the away jersey and the storm trooper one.

Kind of wanted to give each of the unis a distinct feel. Like, here's what I'd wear if I got to choose from this set.

UT-Martin - Home
Oregon - Clockwork Oranje
Florida - Clockwork Oranje
UAB - Home
@LSU - Home
@Georgia - Stormtrooper
Alabama - Black Alts.
@South Carolina - Away
@Memphis - Away
Ole Miss - Home
@Vanderbilt - Stormtrooper
Kentucky - Home

You see what I was trying to go for here? Each uni has it's own feel and has it's own day to be worn.

Home and Away defaults are worn in games in where UT is most likely to win(except for LSU - kind of need a little white in the unis).

Clockwork Oranje are worn for big home games.

Stormtrooper unis are worn in away game in which a rivalry game is played, or the opponent is big time on the road.

Black alternates are only allowed to be worn once a year, and will usually be saved for the biggest opponent on the schedule.

I was all like "I didn't make a black helmet?".

Then I realized it was the uni someone else posted.

But yeah, the basic construct of the helmet needs to stay the same. White shell, power T on the side of it. Unless you're planning some sort of 1950's throwback, which has no power T on it.

That was probably a mistake though. I did one part in the morning, and another tonight, so the font sizes might differ just a little.

I was more specifying the number outline for the home jersey as opposed to the clockwork, or the sleeve color alternating on the clockwork/stormtrooper as opposed to solid on the home/away looks

Ahh. I was originally going to go with no outline for the Oranje jerseys, but I thought it might add a little spice to the thing to add a black outline.

I'll fix the sleeve color on the stormtrooper uniforms though. Now that you mention it, it does look a bit odd to me.
