I think the article about black unis on SI.com is embarassing. It makes it look like we're desperate to be copycats to other schools.

Yeah... not for Tennessee. And orange on orange looks pretty awful on the helmet.

I also have to say, it reminds me A LOT of BG's away unis. A few subtle differences, but still very similar. And while I really like it on us, it wouldn't be right for UT.

Sept. 23, 1922, UT vs. Emory & Henry, Knoxville, 50-0 W

26 seasons played wearing black jerseys w/ orange & white piping (23.2%)

You guys don't know the half of it. Imagine having two rival schools, both UGA and FSU, who have donned the black uniforms and still hearing our fans want a blackout/some black jersey combo. Granted, the overall majority DO NOT WANT this.

Glad to see the majority here don't want it either. Well played.

Plus your basketball team has already given in to the temptation.

In basketball, UT is the only team in the SEC East NOT to have any black uniforms now.

It's human nature to resist change, even when the prospect of something better is present

The outline in black is ok; I would be fine with that.

But those ugly stripes on the side...not a chance. That is quite horrible.

They aren't stripes at all. The outline incorporates (much of) the Power T in our logo.
Instead of stripes and such for no rhyme or reason, it uses the upper torso's natural T-Shape to do so.

That's not bad. I could live with that. How about instead of outlining everything in black, why not just use a darker shade of orange. TN orange is so light, almost a yellowish orange. Why not outline everything in a darker orange, that way the purest can still say "we're orange and white." :thumbsup:

Whatever you want to call them.....they are pretty much white stripes added to the sides of the jersey and they look horrible. Not to mention doing that would once again have UT joining an extremely overdone trend.

Our jerseys are fine and we don't need to follow the herd and attempt to "moderize" our jerseys, especially when the vast majority of thr modernization are quite bad.

Well...they've been "Modernized," as you say, at some point in time...why not just go back to leather helmets and wool sweaters. This team wore black before it "Modernized" with Orange and White.

I guess the program and it's direction centers on your opinion then, right? Didn't think so. Have a nice day. :wavey:
