I thought Deerpark said jerseys would have the new Tennessee lettering across front of jerseys?

Which recruit will be first to commit once the unis are officially rolled* out tomorrow?

Judging by the posts ITT, we should have a class of 74 5*s by 5pm tomorrow.

Part of that legacy has always been Lady Vols-only fans who wear different colors, sport different logos, and generally seem to define themselves as fans by aggressively NOT being fans of the men's teams. That's a branding disaster.

I started out sympathetic to those on the pro-Lady Vols side of the debate, but the more posts I see like this one from fans who complain that getting rid of the baby blue trim would be somehow "murdering [Pat Summitt's] legacy," the more I'm convinced that getting rid of the separate Lady Vols branding is the right thing to do.

Well alienating the women's teams by ruining their brand is silly. The women's basketball team has been immensely more successful all time than any men's team. I understand that football is our main sport, but Pat and the women's team has been more consistently successful than our football team ever has. I still go to more football games and buy more football gear than I do the lady vols games, but I enjoy the originality and legacy that the logo and colors hold. We have now taken that originality and blended it into a less identifiable brand (than the lady vols logo) by removing that. We have not rebranded the girls teams, we have un-branded them.

As for the boys uniforms, I'm not terribly upset with anything but the checkerboards. It would have been nice to put all the gimmicky stuff on to an alternate (which is what alternates are for) and kept the typical orange and white traditional uniforms simple.

Holy Christ, am I really the only one that likes the incorporation of our checkerboard?

I'm all for tasteful changes to the uniforms but they are utter garbage with the checkerboard junk. There was so much potential but the toothpaste is out of the tube so no going back. Sigh...

I'm not a huge fan of the black/gray units, but it's not as bad as you're making it

Both feigned outrage and overexcitement should probably be reserved until tomorrow when we actually get to see them a bit clearer.....JMO

So what we are saying is that Alabama has never worn alternate jerseys?

That is photoshopped.

Ya I'm sure they do. However is a different demographic, and that's all they have. They don't have the tradition, championships, all Americans, NFL players and hall of famers that we have. They also still do not recruit at a high level compared to many of the traditional power houses. It's a gimmick and Tennessee is way better than gimmicks. It is not needed. I am disappointed that jones and the team let this happen.

How far has Tennessee's tradition, All Americans, championships, and HOF's got them lately? NO WHERE!! Stop whining and stop living in the past. The past only gets you so far. Tennessee has been irrelevant for almost 10 years now.....The recruits nowadays only remember that because they werent around to see Tennessee dominate in the 90's. Besides a few good teams in the early 2000's most recruits....unless they're legacy recruits.....categorize Tennessee football as mediocre. That's the truth. Butch knows that too...that's why he is doing all this to get that Tennessee swagger back.

Nope.

....it's important to keep perspective.

The changes are marginal enough that most fans wont care, the whining fans here make up a fraction of the fanbase.

I like it as well. Can't wait to see the full unveiling tomorrow. Not a huge fan of the two tone alternate from what I see in the pictures. Will probably look way better once we see them in HD. I like the change. GBO!!!

They have checkerboard on them. That's all I need to know to not be a fan of the uniforms. Let's just hope they win on the field because that's what I'm most concerned about.
