Tennessee made the move to Nike last season from Adidas, and it turned out to be one of the best stylistic changes for a college football program in years.
The Volunteers' famous orange seemed to pop more with the Nike threads, contrasting perfectly with the clean white helmets and pants. Nike also made the special touch of adding a checkerboard pattern to the bottom section of the helmet and pant stripes. The homage to the Neyland Stadium end zone art was perfect.
Tennessee also unveiled one of the most talked-about alternate uniforms in its first season with Nike—the "Smoky Gray" set against Georgia. The look, which was inspired by the Great Smoky Mountains near Rocky Top, had a mountain pattern in the helmet and a brilliant contrast between the bright orange and the dark gray.
The Vols' new uniforms from Nike had simple and unique symbols to their traditions and their state. The orange looked better after the switch, and now Tennessee has some of the cleanest and best all-around uniforms in college football.

I can't believe the Oregon outfits were picked number 1.
Their garish uniform colors are an insult to the optic nerve and have been for as long as I can remember.

Probably the only one that feels this way but Oregon's unis aren't that appealing to me anymore. I Think the majority of them are terribly planned and poorly put together just to have yet another alternate.

I agree, and I've said it many times before. People are so enamored with the number of uniforms they have that they mistake quantity for quality. I don't see any one combination they wear as the best in the country or even their conference for that matter.

Didn't we try that In 2002? That was short lived.

That was the year they tried the giant thick pants stripe iirc. It really looked weak IMO.

But, that white on white road uni looked like one of the best ever. The pants stripe was outlined/contrasted in black and matched up with the same stripe on the sides of these top. They all looked like crap except for that roadie.

Edit:. Btw, I like what Nike has done with the unis.

Naw. I think that addition has been wonderful. Gives the pants and helmet a more sleek look.

No it doesn't, its stupid and unnecessary adornment. And the fact that Nike is using this decoration on
the pants and helmet makes it doubly egregious.

But what makes it even worse is the fact that we copied the checkerboards from Alabama. End zones
are one thing, a fashion statement on UT's uniforms is entirely different.

I like it. And so do most fans.

So get used to it. Cause it ain't going nowhere.

LOL And how do you know that? I'd wager if you put up a poll on VN you'd be shocked at the results.

So now that we're in the mode of decorating our uniforms like a Christmas present, why don't we
do this:

1) a Sunsphere down each pantsleg
2) a shadow of Sam and Andy's bull on one side, and a Cas Walker thumpin good watermelon on the other side of each helmet under the T
3) the phone number of the Smokey Mtn Market on Henley emblazoned on the back of jerseys instead of names in case fans are Jone'sing for
a Big John (run it through the garden) and a pint of white walking!
4) and finally we should replace the Torchbearer with a photo a pigburger from Brother Jacks, may he rest in peace.

At least these are originals.

"Most fans like it?" I doubt it. You missed the part about Alabama mysteriously having checkerboards before we did. Maybe you should give up
your job as a "football analyst" and go to work for Vandalay Industries in NYC.

Cool. The checkerboards still look great on the uniforms and your long winded *****ing does nothing to change that.

I bet you love to wrap Christmas presents too?

A team that is 68-59 over the last 10 years putting checkerboards on their uniforms is the silliest
thing I've ever seen. A rational person might think that we should become practiced at scoring touchdowns
before we start plastering checkerboards all over our unis. We're being laughed at and you don't even
realize it.
