No kidding. It's the right balance. Just like white over orange on the road is the right balance. The all orange or all white is too much of either.
At this point, whatever the players want to wear is fine with me. They've earned it.
You’re Tennessee Vols will be running into Death Valley sporting the Smokey Grays!
*inside source stitching on the patches and names himself
Black jerseys will make an appearance vs either Bama or UK. Undecided at the moment.
LSU might wear thier purple jerseys just because
Is it that way for the road teams too ? UT would have had to inform the SEC about the road alts (grays in this case ) ?They would have had to let the SEC (and Tennessee) know ahead of the season. If a school wishes to wear something other than the standard (dark for home, white for road), then they have to get approval from their opponent and the league office. Since LSU has designated white as its home uniform, they would have had to get approval to wear purple. No reason it wouldn't have been approved, but that would have been done well in advance.
I’m going off what the guy told me this morning. He said they were placing patches and names on the Smokey grays. He was the one helping with all the stitching and said Smokey Grays for LSU. I feel like that is reliable information unless he’s just misinformed.The original plan was Dark Mode against Akron and Smokey Grey against Kentucky. The black helmets were not ready for Akron. I believe they are in now.
Though the jerseys are in stores now, the Smokey Grey Series gear is not yet at retail, so I would be surprised if they are worn before that happens, especially on the road.
If I had to make a prediction, I would say Dark Mode against Kentucky and Smokey Grey against UT Martin or Missouri. Traditional orange or all-orange for Alabama.
I hope you are correct. Will you please tell your people to tell their people to tell their people to tell the AD that dark mode uniforms on Halloween weekend just make delicious sense?They would have had to let the SEC (and Tennessee) know ahead of the season.

I have to say the traditional uniform that they wore
