Got me a new order of Shirts

[dduncan4163]

I'm a big and tall guy and can never find UT shirts that fit in stores so every couple of years I do a big UT haul on Fanatics. Long story short I am not digging the new shade of orange. It is more of a tangerine style instead of the creamy orange I've always loved. I feel like I'm wearing a Clemson, or Syracuse shirt. Hell I could deer hunt in these.

 

[dduncan4163]

I know it's petty but dammit I want my UT shirts to look like orange juice not orange soda lol.

oh good. This crap again.

This is honestly the first time I've really noticed how big the difference is. Like I said I don't hate them but I don't love them either. In my 30 plus years as a fan I have never seen such a drastic change to our color.

I honestly haven't bought much Nike gear yet.

I think the color on these jerseys is nice looking, at least on television.

The current color is really loud. My wife noticed it the moment I put one of the shirts on. She said they look Clemson orange.

Agree. That's the true Vol orange and it's glorious

Here is a side by side comparison.

The one on the left is the true UT orange imo. The new one on the right looks like Clemson orange. It's not a huge deal but I'm disappointed with my new UT gear I won't lie. Maybe the color will tone down with enough washing.

Nike TN1 is the correct Tennessee Volunteer Orange, in my book...

One thing about Nike, even across the different materials, the color is remarkably consistent. Which is huge because Adidas could never figure that out.

Those are Nike shirts?

No the inside says they are made by Fanatics. I can never find Nike shirts in my size. The odd thing is all my old Fanatics, Russell, Gildan and Adias shirts before this year pretty much all have the same shade of Orange. These I ordered this year looks way different.

I did buy some Nike shorts that look a little to tangerine for my taste.

That's were I get my shirts. You just won't find any 4 or 5XL made by Nike on Fanatics or anywhere else I've looked.

Link for the big & tall section. The polos look correct but the tshirts look like what you were talking about duncan. Not sure if it just looks like that online or what.

I like the sewn in sweat stains on the back.

Hey Duncan, quit being tight and buying UT gear at the flee market for $3 a shirt. It'll be the right color and not say roll tide or anchor down on it. lol:
