Speaking of uniforms, has it been posted and I just didn't see what uniform we (the team) will wear? Orange jersey white pants?

You must be an old fart like me, or a real student of Vol history. Every time a see a shirt tackle I remember our tearaways from long ago. Before they were outlawed. These trends are almost as bad as the unies worn by basketball teams now days.

I dont recall the tearaways technically being outlawed. My best recollection is the tearaways are legal but there were rules put in place where a player had to leave the game for a jersey change if it didnt meet a standard. The easiest thing to do to get a good player out of the game wearing one as a defensive player, tear his jersey every play. Coaches decided it was not worth it and the tearaway jerseys faded away into obscurity like the drop kick.

Seems like I remember Cam being the 1st that started off a game with his undershirt out. Dobbs and others on the offense, don't intentionally wear theirs out. Dobbs was out against A&M because it was pulled out and he never tucked it back in. If you go back and look last season to now, it has never been a problem and everyone has theirs tucked. Now they do wear a small towel to wipe their hands, but no one wears their undershirts out intentionally.

No one (except some kickers maybe) wears one shoe or his shoulder pads outside his jersey intentionally, either -- teammates and/or someone from the sidelines needs to point this out and get it tucked pre-snap on every offense and defensive play, because it was a factor on Dobbs at aTm (yes, a defensive player might recover a fumble and be dragged down by his undershirt on the 1 yard line / otherwise would have scored, resulting in a final-second loss).

This is such a hideous trend and I cant understand how these guys think it looks good. Its like wearing a sweat shirt under a basketball jersey

It looks like an underfunded high school. I really can't stand it. You'd think Nike would say something...

The kids call it "parachuting"....my son and half of his HS team do it. It drives me insane. I cannot understand having the new tight fit uniforms, and undermining the purpose by hanging a long loos undershirt out of it....and it looks sloppy. TSSAA refs are starting to crack down on it some. It'll likely be banned by next year.

I honestly can't understand why a guy like Jones would allow it. I get letting the players be themselves, but not when it puts you at a disadvantage.

Easy solution for the OP. Tear away undershirts.
