It's a trivial matter, in a way. But there are quite a few who do not like them. I am among that number. CJP would do well to mothball (or auction them off) .

Any alternate design uni's should be of two colors:

1, Orange
2. White

And for a bonus, on third Saturday in October, both Bama and Tenn should wear their home jerseys.

I love the Smokey Grey uniforms! They're great for a special game. Players love them too. They're also very profitable for the program. I don't see them going anywhere.

I’m ok with having some alternative uniforms but Orange should still be the primary color since this is Big Orange Country.

I thought the gray looked too much like sweats. I liked the black Unis a lot better even tho they were rushed and the orange on helmets didn’t match the jerseys. I’d like to see Coach give it a rest this year and focus on player skill development rather than fashion and design.

More importantly kill the 3rd down crap music

Kids (players) don't think so. I care a lot more about their opinion than yours. Just saying..

I don’t care if Tennessee wears them or not. They don’t make anyone play any better or worse.


That said I’d be very surprised if Tennessee wore them under Pruitt. Hes an old school traditional guy and hopefully he doesent put to much stock into it.

Those gray unis look EXACTLY like that trash can they held up this year. EXACTLY. We looked like 11 trash cans on the field. No way Fulmer allows the gray to continue. None. So say bye bye.

I hated them. I couldn't tell if my Vols were on the field or some other team Orange and White Baby. Call me old fashion, I can live with that.:)

I'm an old guy and pretty much a traditionalist. But players today like to do different things with uniforms. Let them have a say.

Get rid of them, they are the ugliest alternate uni in the country except for the alternate uni for Florida when they played Texas A&M. I'm in favor of an alternate, let's just get something that actually goes with Orange (like white... or black)

Thanks grandpa :),

but everyone is doing it these days -- not to mention the millions of dollars in Nike product that are sold in Smokey Grey.

My favorite alt uniforms are still the Halloween
Vols uniforms -- you and
Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno and a few others can stay married to the old school traditional uniforms.

Save your response I am probably older than you, I just feel to be competitive in a competitive world you have to do things that are attractive and grab attention - to the 14 - 22 year olds. If you hope to have them attending your school one day. It's great advertising and marketing. If I could only wear Orange or White shirts, hats, etc. to the games I would get ill. I don my Tennessee gear -- but it isn't all O and W.

I’d prefer retro looks as alternative uniforms. I did like the Smokey greys but agree that all things butch should be cleansed.

It’s not a Butch Jones thing, it’s a Nike thing. Basically a way to market more merchandise. I wouldn’t mind seeing different alternatives every year. It’s a game, so let them play and have fun in whatever uniform they want.

I like the grey's especially the helmet with the outline of the Smokey Mountains on them, a real nice touch of where we are.

But guys, come on. The alternatives could be much MUCH worse
