I can't exactly put my finger on it, but there is too much gray. They are so close to looking really good. I don't know what the change needs to be though.

IMO some white accents and outline the #'s and names in white. I think that would really make them just pop. Maybe outline the T on the helmet with a lil white as well.

But if this is never done, they still look AWSOME IMO.

This is a good picture to use as an example. Imagine the orange #'s the same color as the shoulders, as well as the stripes on the pants. The only orange would be the Power T's, SEC logo, and Nike checks. That would look mean.

I'm not sure the NCAA would allow the dark gray on light gray. They may not be able to make out the numbers well enough.

In this case, use the thinnest outline they'll allow in a lighter grey, white, or orange around the #'s.

Someone else mentioned it but I think it would look cool is to replace the T on the dark helmet with the orange tri-star.

It's already against tradition so it shouldn't cause anymore of an uproar.

Since the three stars represent West, Middle, and East TN it would be a nice touch to use that for games in Memphis and Nashville.

I wasn't aware that's what the stars represented! In that case, we should make it a tradition to wear the tri-star against Vandy, sort of claiming it as OUR state. It would look great on either helmet.

Id like to see gray with white and orange jerseys. Or gray with a white jersey and orange pants. Lots of combos id love to see.

Let me guess, your wife dresses you? These kids want to look sharp on the field, the tone of the gray wouldn't look good if it was mix and matched. I don't this fan base wants to hear the reaction when our players look like Stevie wonder dressed them

Loved the helmet when I saw the pictures. Hated the helmet when I saw it on the field. :bad: The mountain outline is cool but can't be seen even from the 15th row.

Love that we won the game though. If I thought we'd beat Bama because we wore gray helmets, then gray it is!

I respectfully disagree on that design choice, even though it would be interesting to see it in some form or fashion.

I would like them to put the tri star on the helmet and outline the orange letters and numbers on the jersey with white.

Tennessee used to have helmets with numbers on the side... like bammer. Then again, at some point in their history, most current SEC teams had the numbered helmets.

They also had them with orange numbers.

Let's do all orange with smokey grey #'s for another uni and then do a throw back with the helmets with #'s on them let's just mix n match n have several different uni's to choose from, but not abandon our traditional orange n white.

I loved the gray helmets with the orange stripe and power T......fabulous....

Would like to see us wear those Gray helmets with the Orange Jersey and white pants....

Smokey helmets, smokey pants as they were. Orange jersey with smokey numbers!! Tri-star would also be a nice touch at vandy as well.

I've noticed something watching the replay. The guys out there wearing white socks instead of the orange socks are an eyesore. Nobody should be allowed to wear white socks with these new uni's, it doesn't look right.
