Oklahoma - white helmets and throwbacks and Clemson - also wears all orange and all purple as well as mix and match

 

[JoAllan]

We haven't kept up in the recruiting department. At all. Thats factually false unless Kentucky is the standard were basing that off of. Were not in the top 12 in the sec in recruiting. Dooley couldn't recruit, butch had one good class, Pruitt averaged 7th in the sec. We haven't recruited anywhere near our standard in 10 years. Thats not an opinion. Unless JH is going to raid the transfer portal hes recruiting the worst out of the bunch and they all walked into terrible situations just like him. You're just carrying water knowing we've had inferior players for a decade. Please learn the difference between opinion and fact.

I said in comparison to win standing

Tennessee has had 8 losing seasons over the past 13…….can you find say 20 schools with 8 losing seasons over the past 13 with a better recruiting stretch?

NO…….how about 15?……….maybe 10?

 

[DougVol]

White helmet looks awful on it

Really stupid to do it during a noon game against a trash team

Big critic right here! Two thumbs down!

You do it against ole miss and we lose……never see it again

 

[508mikey]

Lol

LOOK: LSU to wear color-changing helmets with alternate uniforms vs. Mississippi State

Florida has done it
Oregon does it
P-ST does the white out
Ohio state has done it

lol…….but by all means……Clemson hasn’t done it.

Oh but know what your talking about because LSU has certainly done it.

Florida has no history. they were irrelevant prior to the 90s. Oregon has zero history at all. Penn State has never changed their uniforms. Ohio State wears throwback uniforms from time to time. LSU wears the same unis every year, white at home and the road with the purple unis for homecoming. Same for the purple unis at clemson. Thats their tradition. What does that have to with us wearing non throwback gimmick uniforms to help our 32nd ranked recruiting class?

You're comparing us to the worst teams in college football to make your "point". By doing that you just made mine for me. Maybe hiring the same caliber coaches and living off gimmicks doesnt work and doubling down on the same stuff that hasnt worked for a decade plus is stupid and insane by definition. How about we try hiring top notch southern recruiters/staffs and wearing traditional uniforms. Seems to be working for the winners. The losers do what were doing. Thats why they're losers..

 

[MrWiz]

Why are we wearing these for usc dumb dumb dumb. Do it for Ole miss.

Why are you calling our players dumb?

what the hack has Tennessee been doing?

Hard to recruit top 10……when you finish bottom 50.

You started with an opinion……stated as a fact.

Then you switch to other teams…..you mention LSU……I show you LSU does it as well.

You still keep going.

Tennessee has been at the bottom…..their not Clemson or Bama……they need everything they can get to try and get “back.”

 

[Vol_sanity]

Swain tweeted that they tried every avenue to get a black helmet but supply was not available so they had to go this route...FYI

You know alternate uniforms and throwback uniforms are different things right? Every uniform you posted pays homage to throwback uniforms. Id love Ut to do that. We have plenty of throwback options that pay homage to our history. That bs were wearing Saturday in a 85k Neyland at noon vs a nobody program is a gimmick. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Just a reminder, there was a WHOLE LOT of blow back when they announced the smokey greys.

 

[onecrazytj]

It definitely seems like we are doing it vs South Carolina sadly

I said the same thing. Then I thought about it. Maybe we get distracted if we try this for Ole Miss? I’m not sure. Maybe this keeps us up on a week that we might otherwise have a chance at a letdown? Who knows.

Does it make since to be hiring the opposite coaching staffs, playing the opposite brand of defense, and getting smoked in recruiting help us catch them? Thats my point. Being the opposite of bama and UGA isn't closing the gap, its making it even wider. Which I didnt even think was possible. Recruiting doesnt lie.

They wanted the black helmets but there were supply chain issues according to Jayson Swain.

Looks at number 3 and 4 again. The black uni is exactly what we're doing. The grays aren't a throwback back either and had a frikin camo helmet.

I think even Clemson did a "Purple out"

How are you connected to the program if you don't mind my asking?

 

[imavolfan]

Nice but think we should save them for a night game vs Ole Miss. but then again, if we get destroyed by OM then the idea of a special uniform is tarnished.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

The real question is do these become part of a normal rotation of current uniforms?

My thoughts exactly. Maybe these keep us focused to get that bowl eligibility locked then we can just focus on playing our dead level best against OM.
