Official Smokey Greys for Music City Bowl

[Carl Pickens]

In the current PC world in which we live, I'm surprised someone hasn't called the gesture insensitive. Surely someone is butt hurt over the "smokey" gray unis and how they could be hurtful.

 

[minorvol]

I like it.

 

[YankeeVol]

Gimmick to get butts in the seats. We better win this bowl game.

Tennessee sold their allotted tickets before this was even announced. Try again

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

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

I'm pretty certain that will draw a flag

 

[Vfl2407]

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

Offsetting penalties.
Holding, number 69 on both the offense and the defense.

They're "in the weeds".

'82 Alum bringing it!

Dont feed the trolls.

 

[OrangeMagic]

I'm all for the gesture but I do not like the "Smokey Grey" uniforms. The helmet is the only thing good about them.

 

[vol-un-tear]

I'll be there! Go Vols!

 

[93TNVol]

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

Whoa BRO! Settle down, ixnay on the akednay stuff. Floppy ball sacks is not my idea of holiday fun.

It would be cool to see the Smokey helmet and pants with the orange jerseys, for once. Change it up just a little bit more.

Per UT Football twitter wearing alternate Smokey grey uniform in Music City Bowl to honor victims of the Gatlinburg wildfires!

Very good move for UT Football.

Honoring victims a good idea, wearing an accent color as the main jersey color always a bad idea. Those shirts would have a better use a rags to clean up the mess than being worn by football players.

Many teams mix and match their uniforms.
Don't know why we won't.

Selling 8000 tickets to the home SEC game would only make Vandy proud.

american english is the dumbest language in human history.

Spin it however you want, there's going to be plenty of fans there. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I think the gray uniforms are a joke,isn't it just for Nike to sell different colored shirts ? isn't there several teams that have the so called smokey grey uniforms ?

they could have went with an all Orange uniform or some kinda of a match between the Orange and White instead of those ugly ass gray uniforms

of course that is just my opinion about it

and thoughts and prayers are still with the people in Sevier County and anybody suffering from the fires

No other team has the Smokey Mtns motif on the helmets

Are smokey uniforms really a good way to honor fire victims?

Army honored WW2 Paratroopers today - so whats the problem ? Army-Navy uniforms to honor World War II paratroopers | SI.com Oh look WVU did it too West Virginia Football Uniforms To Honor Coal, Fallen Miners : TreeHugger

 

[1982Alum]

I don't really get how wearing a smoke colored jersey helps or honors anyone, but okay!

Doesn't help anyone but Nike and the college book store receipts.

For the fire victims? No, not so much. They are just being used in this case. Smokey grey pajamas came out several years ago. We weren't wearing them for the East Tennessee fire victims then either.

Someone already made the point that it brings attention to the tragic situation. Why is it such a big deal? The NFL wears pink ribbons, just to bring attention to breast cancer.

Some of you really need help.

People like to feel virtuous about themselves..meaningless and silly, really

Some just have to complain
