I don't really understand why black is so opposed... I think white, orange, and black could lead to some pretty cool uniforms... i remember hearing somewhere that black uni's was an option for the SEC Champ. game this past year, but it could have just been hearsay.

Here are my two, and only two, suggestions for our 2008 football uniforms:

I just don't like the all white look. On the road, I like the orange pants with the two white stripes IMO.

. . .As a Vol fan since 1966. . .why in the world would you even consider changing ANYTHING!! Those orange uniforms and helmets are 100% class. I went to Penn State and every once in awhile people ask JoePa to jazz up the uniforms! Class says it all. . .you don't need to change!

You already have the orange and white jerseys along with either white or orange pants. I love the way they brought back the double stripe on the pants too! I remember in the early 70's when they had the white jerseys with the orange yoke on the top. . .awful!! The numbers from time to time had a thin outline border as well which I didn't care for. In my opinion, you don't need to inject the color black anywhere either. . .UT's colors are orange and white!

I have always believed that simple and timeless uniforms are the best bet. . .especially when you have a program as steeped in tradition as the Vols.

Please, don't change anything!!:no: :banghead2:

Just my 2 cents

. . .Oh yea, I forgot. On the away uniforms with the white jerseys, the orange pants with double white stripes would be awesome! I think it's great that when you look at my avatar, and other pictures from the 60's that the uniforms are still the same! That's class. . .and tradition. The two things that Tennessee has always stood for!

Now. . .if the football players can stay away from partying so much, maybe we'll have a shot at the SEC title!

What can be done for new uniforms?
After much thought, is it possible to do anything?
I am sure they have tried over the years and just not alot of options with our colors? what can we do?
I would think Adidas could do something, right?
My pick for an alternate use, maybe just for Florida-
white helmet- block T starting at back, coming up and over top of helmet, with the T spread across front.
Uni- orange and white half split diagonally with numbers alternating color scheme from other side.
Pants- well.... can't do checkered.
All I know is that we have been relatively stagnant on this with minimal changes for the last 20 years.
WHAT CAN WE DO?

Just a rough idea of what you asked for looks like:sick:

I stopped at the jersey, I seriously don't think I could stomach doing anything to the pants.

I think I threw up in my mouth about three times will doing this. I feel bad for Brad for even doing that to this pic of him.

-P.S. look at all of the lists that people create of the best uniforms and best helmet. There is a reason that we are listed on most of them.

We had to get a waiver from the NCAA to wear those uni's in 2004. If the NCAA changes the rules on home and away uniforms like they were talking about doing a couple years ago then we'll wear orange jerseys every game

What are you talking about? I'm pretty sure we just had to get an OK to wear those 2004 uniforms because they weren't one solid color. I'm think the away team gets to choose what color they want to wear, but the home team usually asks them to wear white. I guess you could technically force the home team to wear white, but no one does it, as it would probably not seem very classy. How could we wear orange every game?

We had to get the NCAA to waive the rules for that game because there was too much orange on it for it to be an away jersey, but it had too much white on it for it to be a home jersey.

The NCAA was considering a couple years ago eliminating the rule that said one team had to wear a lighter color and the other team had to wear a darker color. This rule was put in place because people couldn't tell which team was which with black and white TV sets, obviously not a real big problem anymore. If they ever do decide to eliminate this rule we would probably wear orange a vast majority of the time.

:thumbsup: I get what you are saying now. It would be nice for both teams to wear whatever they wanted, as long as the jerseys aren't too similar in color.

I like the classic look as well. Just plain orange and white. They tried something different a few years ago. I wasnt too wild about it.
