Former Vols' All-SEC offensive lineman Anthony Parker said he and teammates lobbied for the black uniforms during his four-year career, which ended last season along with the tenure of coach Phillip Fulmer.
"The black jerseys were something we tried to get the whole time we were there, but that never happened,'' Parker said. "It was cool to see, and I also thought when we did get to black jerseys it would be all black uniforms."
Not surprising. Fulmer didn't even like the orange pants. They only wore them 3 times in his tenure.
