Black Unis

[murfreesboro_vol]

Are we still going to wear black uniforms vs kentucky this year?

 

[preacherwebb]

A day or so ago @DeerPark12 said no.

 

[NATHAN05]

Thought last I saw it was being saved for another game. Lot of talk about the jerseys in this thread from yesterday.

Kentucky game kickoff set for noon

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Saving it for Florida at the end of the year.

 

[Hacksaw]

I vote no.

 

[white65]

Hopefully they save them for a bigger game.

They’re still trying, but a long shot for any game this year because of Nike production/materials delays.

Are they still planning on auctioning those black uniforms after the game? Then giving the proceeds to BLM? Am I remembering that correctly?

They never stated which organization it would go to.

T-Martin said it would be a local organization

Done opened a can of worms that you will never shut!

BRACE YOURSELF!

 

[TnVol!]

I certainly hope not. Never would be good.

I personally think that would be awesome.
I know I'm in the minority here ...

 

[jarhead]

Hopefully they burned the black uniforms and lost the name of the supplier. I simply prefer orange and white.

 

[EconVol92]

I like the black uniforms on occasion and I think that a black helmet with a checkerboard T on it would be awesome.

I think the important thing is what do the players want? The uniform is a big thing to them and if that gives them joy, then I say do it.

Black jerseys were worn in the early 20th century

 

[Tin Man]

So, someone is agitating for a modern take on the 1903 uni? This is tied-in to BLM Knoxville?

 

[37620VOL]

I could go for a modernized version of that 1914 uni. Might have to put the orange stripes on an undershirt since they are fitted so tight to the shoulder pads these days.

That is the only color they had back then. Color was invented yet.

I vote no.

Not NO but HELL NO.

Yes.

And about the time the General showed up (okay, he was only The Captain at the time), we switched our jerseys to all orange and white.

If it's good enough for General Neyland, it's good enough for us.

Go Vols!

 

[WBO]

May I ask why people always want us to wear something other than the Orange and White? I agree we've never been able to come up with a great white uni but damn, we're the Big Orange not the Big F'ing Black. I hate the black, the grey and the all Orange uniforms (so freaking redneck plus it also looks like the horrible all gold unis that Minnesota wore in the 60's).

Oh well, I guess I'm just too old and believe in tradition too much.

 

[dcm3w]

Black unis matter

 

[dcm3w]

Yes.

The 1914 ones were pretty cool. I'd like to see some retro retro ones

 

[Behr]

I won't lose what little bit of my mind I have left, but I'd be happiest with orange and white combinations, all orange or all white. White helmet. Black cleats. Burn errthang else.
