Looks like the double stripes are officially making their return

Yep. That's two.

Now let's keep 'em vertical, offense.

Low-key kinda like the no stripes but it's also nostalgic to see the stripes though. So cool with me

Maybe we could wear all Orange and Arkansas could wear all black for the Halloween game (if the schedule does not change).

We typically play South Carolina around Halloween and I've been asking for this for years! Seems like such a no-brainer, I don't know why we don't do it.

If this don’t tell you they want to get back to old Tennessee football nothing ever will

Stripes on the pants are back....

Can't because people with black and white TV's couldn't tell the difference between the teams when both are wearing dark jerseys.

We're missing giant numbers and that weird serified font for names.

Also the orange numbers with the white then orange outline on the white jerseys. If we're feeling particularly spicy we could try to throw on those double-sleeve stripes that I always see Reggie White wearing in old photos.

I'm getting the feeling they won't be seen this year. Hope I'm wrong. Guess we'll know within a week.

Come on.

when we previously had the stripes, I remember fans wistfully pining for the solid pants days. Only 100% certainty is that fans will never be 100% satisfied.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Come on.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm. LOL!

The only answer is that weird super fat stripe from the early 2000s. May have even been a one season thing.

Don't laugh. I still watch the games on an old black & white radio.

(...gotta find that lucky coat hanger I attached to the aerial back in '98)

 

[Boca Vol]

Come on.

That's why contrasting jerseys are worn...black & white TV.

Somehow it still applies but there is no reason for it.

Yeah that was bad. That was ‘02 with those dumb road jerseys that had an orange stripe too. I think we scrapped the pants before the Miami game.

That was the "away" game in Nashville. Went to that one. I liked those jerseys.

What also sucked were those away jerseys.

The balck lettering and black outline was an awful idea. Although I'm sure they did it so people could see it on TV, but looking back it does not look good.

Horrifying! Reading recently some liked it.

Now if we could just get the white cleats back...

No doubt, 2x stripes = We're Back!!
