They actually got it right somewhere around 2012... after being Tennessee's supplier for more than a decade.

Nike gets it right 2 weeks before they even become our supplier.

Isn't the actual game worn gear made by done company near Knoxville and they just slap logos on them. Seems like I remember hearing the black jerseys in 09 were last minute decision made possible because the actual supplier just down the road.

I wish people would stop complaining about the dang lighting. It's the wrong shade of Orange!!:neener:

No, the wrong shade of orange was what Johnny Majors had us in a couple of years, almost yellow. Anything actually orange I'm good with after that.

Man, I just don't like the design of that first N. I don't care for the S's either. They look closer to 5's than S's to me. I hope this doesn't become a trend for Nike UT clothing, hats, etc. Am I in the minority with not liking this particular shirt?

Is it just me or does the swoosh look really high on the shoulder?

The first "N" is only slanted bc it is after the letter "E". The state of tn runs east-west obviously, and so the font allows all open ended letters running east/west to slant like the outline of the state. I think it represents us well and like it a lot. So do a whole bunch of other people I know. So yes, you're in the minority. GO VOLS!!!

How do you know he's in the minority? Simply because he doesn't agree with you? I happen to know a whole bunch of people that hate it. I'd say it's split down the middle at this point.

I give the conceptual "idea" a thumbs up but in print it just doesn't aesthetically look right. Not that my $ will matter in the grand scheme of things but I won't be buying anything with the new wordmark and will stick to things that just have the Power T.

Doesn't really do anything for me : /

Hope they take a play out of Oregon's book

If the whole word "TENNESSEE" in that font represents the state of Tennessee, does that awkward "N" also represent Nashville? I mean it is kind of in the middle of the state. :p

They found a local supplier that could throw the black jerseys together last minute (hence the poor quality), but the normal stuff came from Adidas.

Don't know, don't care. Just tired of the awkward "n" complaints. Just trying to shed light on why it's got the angle on it. The power t will still be on a lot of merchandise. Don't know what the big deal is.

Split down the middle is as accurate as him being in the minority for disliking the font. You don't know, he don't know, I don't know. There, now that's settled. I should've been more careful with my choice of words. I like the power t the best also. As long as we win it doesn't really matter to me anyways. GO VOLS!!!

I like the font but is it just me or is all the stuff just have a basic generic look we've seen for years from Adidas? I was hoping for something flashy but I guess the traditionalist's way of thinking won out...

That's just one shirt, just wait. We'll have the same Nike stuff all the other fan bases have.

I hope so...Been waiting for years. That uniform video for 7/1/15 even though u couldn't see much looked pretty plain But the storm trooper look is just plain white I guess....I buy a jersey or two every year ..Only jersey I haven't got last couple years were the white with the off color checkerboard numbers..Just didn't look right and couldn't find the jersey with down on numbers instead of the print..I Even got the grey with checkered board sleeves everyone hated..Bought the black the year it came out and the orange every year..even was lucky enuff a poster on here bought me a game worn tech fit from the store in the stadium and sent it to me.It was worn by Carter...

Nike, Adidas, FUBU, Puma, Reebok. It doesn't matter as long as we're kicking butt and taking names like the glory days
