And least we forget ... the Lady Vols have always had a touch of blue in their uniforms. Guess we should complain about that as well.

Every time I see a uniform debate, I envision a guy whining about colors as he sits at his computer wearing a plaid shirt and camouflage pants.

Pixelated multicolored orange camo jerseys, white numbers with black outline, white pants with orange stripe, and white helmets and orange decals.

Why does having alternate uniforms that we wear literally about once a year stir up so much hate?

Not everybody. 'Just metro-sexuals who're uber-finicky about fashion nuances. Most of us are more interested in how those fashion icons are coordinating on the playing field, and not how their trousers bonnets and blouses are coordinated. :birgits_giggle: Geeeeeeeesh!

I've always wanted to see the white with orange shoulders look again. We brought it back for an opener in maybe 2004?

If we are going to keep the greys, wear them for a meaningless game. I want to see us in orange when we play Florida and Georgia! We haven't seen us wear orange against Georgia since the 2011 season.

Also, I hope Pruitt brings back the orange pants for a few road games. I'm fine with the storm troopers, but I think we should split the storm trooper and white on orange look for all of the road games.

I'd also like to see all orange atleast once at home too.

Anybody heard from the real DEERPARK? I'd like his perspective if he has one on this subject.

I like the orange and white for every in conference game. I do think orange versus red should be the way the Bama/Tennessee game is played; I feel like fans of both schools would agree on that.

Alternate jerseys I have really no problem with if they're used for OOC games. I do like the black jerseys more so than the grey, JMO though. I'm a traditionalist as well but I like for the kids to have fun and if the uniforms infuse a little extra excitement into playing citadel or appy state then so be it. Traditional rivalries should be traditional colors.

Now that's old school right there. It was a little before my time when this was the norm but I has seen old film clips of this. It's my understanding that white road jerseys came about primarily to better distinguish between the teams for television coverage.

The white road jerseys came about because of Bear Bryant and the other SEC schools instituted a rule in 1970 that one team is mandated to wear a white jersey. From 1933 to 1970 UT only wore a white jersey a couple times against Texas in bowl games. Other than that we wore orange at home and on the road.

I do question if we possibly wore white jerseys during 1963 when Jim McDonald was interim coach.

smokey greys are awesome.

have u guys not paid attention to the rest of theworld in the past 30 years? Alt unis bring recruits and they are almost always an ALTERNATE color from base.. kinda the point of the word alternate. Oregon started it and we are stuck there. I could understand if they were like lets have a blue alt jersey but grey as an alternate makes perfect sense for UT. Smokey mountains. and they look good. so let it be. It's a once or twice a year thing.

it sells games it sells DLC (downloadable content) it sells recruits.. stop complaining and grow up.

And while we are at it pass a rule that everyone has to sit and never stand. And everyone has to be quiet when the band is playing - no singing, not even with Rocky Top.


Neyland is tame with the piped in music compared to Vandy and Kentucky and at NFL games.

Not sure I understand what you mean about sitting not standing, I just think that the piped in music is way too loud and takes away from the college atmosphere. I didn’t say sit down and be quite. Also college is not NFL and that’s what I like.Take it for what it is worth,but I like the college game.

I find it hilarious that all the people that say scrap the gray are also the ones talking about tradition and not changing things.

They are too dense to realize that by those standards of tradition and never changing things we would be wearing gray or black with only hints of orange.

As for the topic at hand I say if we play at home the week of halloween then we should wear a black uni, grey number with an orange highlight around the numbers. Pants would be black with orange stripes and a flat black
helmet with a metallic orange T.

If we aren't at home for the week of halloween then we bust out an alternate one week just not Bama UF or UGA.

I'm all for an alternate but keep it o once a year and like I said just not for one of our traditional rivalry games and not for a bowl game. Since the media loves to try to claim Vandy as a rival then maybe we should keep the alternate or that game. I'm even ok with using a bye week for the alternate, pull the crap did OSU did against penn st and wear a light gray uni white numbers highlighted with orange pinstripe and a light gray helmet with a metallic orange T.
