Uniforms - Back in Black (merged)

shutup

Stop it! Honestly, what's our record in these things through the years? "Yeah but the players like em and voted for em" So what!? There's lots of things the players, the fans, etc. would vote for. Doesn't mean we do them. We are a traditional powerhouse. We have an incredible amount of history & wins in our traditional uniforms- white pants, road white shirts, orange home shirts. Period. Let the schools with no tradition- Louisville, MS St, etc. play games with their uniforms.

I like the alternates. Because Fulmer doesn't.

Players these days could care less about tradition. Haven’t you heard the new mantra…. Look good, feel good, play good

 

[alexmacie]

STOP!!!!YELLING AT US!!!!!

 

[VolsRule]

Do what the players want---it's good for recruiting.

I remember how just a few short years ago we lost 60-0 at home to Alabama while wearing our traditional orange and white. I’ll make sure to alert the equipment managers to burn those, too. They’re cursed!

Then you're remembering very wrong (or have a head issue) because we've not been shut out against Bama since 1980 and neither has scored 60.

On a side note, I want us and BAMA to go back to each wearing home uniforms on the 3rd Saturday game: Orange and Crimson. That was a unique and awesome tradition. If the NCAA fines us for it, pay it and play it. It is worth it.

You’re right. It was 49-10 in 2016 that I thought was a much worse beat down. Glad I was wrong. Close game! Still, we should probably burn those orange jerseys because we all know it’s the jersey that is losing us these games.

Over the last three years, we’ve lost about half of the games in which we wore uniforms of any kind.

I'd like to see us go shirts and skins. At least in September.

Couldn't agree any more. the problem is only one of those teams cares about its tradition now days. The other just lives for gimmicks and feel good quotes after embarrassing losses.

Damn, I was just about to post this

I like our alternates, but I didn’t love the helmets last night. I don’t have a suggestion for ones that would have been better, just didn’t love the ones we had.

It will be an all-black uniform eventually. Supply chain issues prevented black helmets from getting here this season, so I expect next year we’ll finally get the legit all-black which will look fresh

Oh boy! New gimmicks to go with our Ls. Christmas came early!

 

[London Vol]

Its not the uniforms but I am a traditionalist and I like any combo of orange and white only.

 

[BARknox bouncer]

Fun fact Lane Kiffin is 3-0 when TN wears Black

Quit whining. It's a uniform. We've been getting beat down by our rivals for pretty much two decades. Who cares what we are wearing. I'm more concerned about winning. Win games. That's all that matters. Doesn't make any difference what uniform combo we have while we do it. I just want to win.

 

[Volbrando]

I don’t care what they wear. Let the kids have fun and it help with recruiting

 

[njvols]

Personally I like our traditional. But if the kids want to wear them and vote for them I’m cool with it. Face it Georgia was way to deep for us to beat them . I love our team and the direction were headed. The kids play hard for 60 full minutes. Just have to recruit depth.

Agree...this whole we HAVE to wear traditional uni's is tired. Who cares. We're Orange and White, but if players want to wear alt uni's fine by me...everyone in NFL and College has alt uni's, except for maybe Bama

 

[Vol8188]

For those of you keeping count, here’s the reasons we lost:

1. Black uniforms
2. Manning was on campus
3. being on cbs
4. Lost momentum when Payton was injured
5. Hendon Hooker didn’t play up to par in a must win game

This loss had nothing to do with a massive talent disparity nor did it have anything to do with us playing a historically good Georgia team. It was all about points 1-5

 

[KnoxvilleVol13]

How about we make a deal with the players that for every big game they win bama, uga, Florida, they get to wear a new cute alternate uniform. That assures us we dont have to worry about any more gimmicks until were respectable again.

The worn out "it helps with recruiting" is supported by zero facts. I could argue it hurts recruiting but the truth is it does neither.

Sounds like a sure fire way to lose recruits

What recruits?

The players love the uni's......

Give it a rest. My God!
