Official Smokey Greys for Music City Bowl

[vtvol98]

I get the gesture, but to see Tennessee in a bowl game without orange will look weird.

Weird like beating Florida at home weird? I'll take it.

Nice.

Anyone know if they will auction them off after the game to contribute to donation? I would love to get one of those helmets.

That's a great ideal! Even brings more attention to the need.

Great to see the grey's in the MCB

Or they could have done nothing at all. It may not be everything but it's something.

Quit your butching and just accept we had a disappointing season. Be glad we're even contending in the SEC again and made it to the top 25 this year.

People who butch all the time get on my nerves, too.

In the U.S. it's "gray", in the U.K. it's "grey". We play football in the U.S. so I'm going with "gray".
Gray vs. Grey

No -- another hater troll made that up on Twitter

Why would someone just make that up??? Wtf is wrong with people on the damn Internet these days!?

Lol, okie dokie.

Shew, I was really hoping you were going to come back with something so good I couldn't even respond. Okie dokie takes the cake hahaha.

I find it amusing that some of you get your feelings hurt over a uniform. You act like if Tennessee plays in anything other than orange that it somehow takes away from the team or you won't be able to enjoy the game. There is nothing wrong with the smoky grays and if it brings more awareness and donations, help, etc. then they should go for it. Gray is part of the school colors so you might as well get used to seeing it. Some of you people will find something to ***** about no matter what, if they were wearing orange you'd complain about the shade of it.

It's a bowl game, not a regular season game at home. Tennessee belongs in orange IMO.

Don't care if they play naked, win the game!

The Smokey Grey should be wore more throughout the season! Seems to pump up the players! Regardless of the old school Orange and White fans say, I'm all in for even more color schemes. if it helps recruiting, I say bring it! For example, I love the bright "chrome" helmets that teams wear. JMO! I'm sure I will get alot of - on this post.

That might work, no body wants to tackle the naked guy.

I'll be here all day.

Looks like Smoky Gray would be the ultimate insult if you ask me. I think those people have had enough smoky gray. Go big ORANGE.

 

[Orange&White]

We shouldn't even discuss it. Obviously some people hate it, others love it. But we cannot agree on anything so why even try to convince or persuade the other side. We're just stuck with a forum full of whining, arguing, and complaining. Oh wait, excuse me, that's the whole purpose of VolNation lol.

In all seriousness, I love the idea because of the ties, proximity, and history between Tennessee and the Smokies. It's not like they just chose to wear the smokey greys over our traditional orange and white colors. I know the Tennessee orange and Nebraska red would have looked great in a traditional powerhouse battle, but they are doing it for a great reason, and like others say, if it raises more awareness and generates more donations then I am all for it. I remember my undergrad days at Tennessee and I cannot count how many days and nights I scooted off to Gatlinburg for a getaway. Heck, the helmets even have the Great Smoky Mountains painted on them...

Crappy unis, crappy bowl, crappy outcome. Figures.

It's time to bury these pajamas forever.
