Jeremy Pruitt updates Tennessee's plan for black jerseys

As it turns out, those black jerseys won’t be seen this season, but could be seen in the future. No. 18 Tennessee (2-1) hosts Kentucky (1-2) on Saturday for a Noon Eastern Time kickoff (TV: SEC Network) at Neyland Stadium, a game that was originally scheduled to be played on November 7 before the SEC went to a 10-game, conference-only schedule.

“You know what, I learned a really good lesson as a head football coach,” Pruitt said during his weekly press conference on Monday. “You know, there are contracts with people that do our apparel that we wear. It’s something (wearing black jerseys) that our players and our staff want to do. It’s something that we’re not going to be able to do from a standpoint of a contract.

Dead link. I heard the presser today. Pruitt said that they aren't able to do the black jerseys this year because of contractual details with Nike. He said that they hope to work something out for next season.

I could care less about what jersey we wear. Fashion police be damned, I want wins. GBO! We are the BIG ORANGE and always will be.

This ^^^^. They can wear pink tutus for all I care if they go and start laying some hits on Georgia linemen.

Serious question- Does Tulane always have black uniforms in their repertoire? They are a Nike school and are wearing all black uniforms on TV. Do schools have different contracts with different clauses with Nike?
