Vols New Unis

[Reginald Rutledge]

over Joel P's Cocky, it still not a look we would recommend for Tennessee. I hope they hide those unis for the next 100 years.

It's all about marketing but no where in the school's mission statement does it say Orange and Black. I wish I could go back to Tennessee and get my masters degree. I miss being on "The Hill" and sitting in Neyland Stadium overlooking the Tennessee River and tailgating and doing everything that is Big Orange. (I digressed to 1979-84)

But yeah, in 2005 Tennessee tried to change its unis to a terrible combination introduced by Nike. I think Oregon, Nebraska, Penn State and someone else had contracts with that company. As you can see, Oregon and Nebraska caved in to the changes and Penn State and "The Vols" were so heavily criticized by fan support that they went back to their traditional look.

Penn State is the best looking uniform in the country other than ND and Michigan and Tennessee. Some things you don't mess with! Never mess with the Orange and White combination!
