Problem is Orange on pants doesn't match Orange on jerseys. If we are such a big deal to adidas as a "tier one" school that all adidas lovers say that we are, why can't they match?

FWIW, Bama had this problem for years, except it was matching the helmet color.

At least this way it's not that noticeable (it takes a close-up in HD with good eyesight to spot the difference in color between pants and a number that aren't close to touching)

As long as its a picture of our guys in the END ZONE like the pic above of Hardesty scoring a touchdown...I don't give a crap what we wear. :)

I like both looks, have no problem mixing it up.

Here's another thought....since the NCAA has changed the rules on jersey colors, why dont we wear orange jerseys/white pants all the time?! We can simply use the white jerseys (with whichever pants) when a pansy team won't allow us to wear the orange jersey.

Kinda like what LSU does with their white jerseys.

It's not really the same thing with LSU. Since their jerseys are white, they wear them to all the away games as the away white uniform, and at home they can force the opposition to wear colored uniforms with no issues.

I can tell the difference big time, from the stands, with a naked eye. It's very noticeable. Even worse on the bball unis. I didn't mention helmets because that's just a material problem that almost all teams with colors have. Plastic vs. cloth. The color on the helmets actually do match but the reflection makes them appear different.

I've never once been able to notice that.

Now the orange on orange is noticeable, for sure.

And if you looked at Bama boards in the mid 2000s, you'd have seen them complaining year in and year out about Nike not being able to match the color, no matter how many times they tried.

Actually, BOTH teams have to agree. The home team doesn't force a team to bring a color.

This came up several years ago when Vandy/LSU were in the middle of their Gerry DiNardo drama and Vandy refused to let LSU wear their white jerseys in Tiger Stadium. Rather than wear purple, LSU brought out some gold jerseys and white helmets.

They do match. The difference is not just the the material, but the shine that the material has under the lights. If you look closely on the orange-on-orange, the pants match the spandex panels on the jersey perfectly. But when you combine it with the mesh on the jersey that has a different level of reflection, it looks different, especially at night.

The other issue is the sweat factor. When the jerseys and pants get wet, the color changes ever so slightly, which also distorts it when seen from a distance.

Laid out flat on a table, the jerseys, numbers, pants, and helmet stripes are all the exact same color. But when you run out under the lights, they appear slightly different because of the reflections and how each material absorbs/reflects light.

I don't know of any school that doesn't have this problem when they go color on color.

i think white with the orange pants looks pretty awesome, but thats just me. basically i just get excited seeing us play, so it really doesnt matter that much to me what they wear. they always look good to me :D

It is the same color as the numbers, however the difference in material and the black outline are what cause the contrast to the naked eye. If the Power T on the helmets were outlined in black it would look similar to the color of the white jersey numbers.

I like the orange pants myself. I also prefer stripes no matter which color pants we're talking about. But give me the two narrow stripes not the extra wide stripe we tried several years ago.

White jerseys with orange numbers (no black trim) and orange pants with the 2 thick white stripes. I miss the old vols logo that they use put on the sleeve. I also like the big numbers. JMO. Old school.

The only two times I can remember UT wearing orange pants in Gainesville ('91 and '09), UT lost.

The last two times UT won in Gainesville they wore all white.

I prefer the orange pants.
