Webfooter Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Even though we've seen these previously in the leaks, I think Tennessee got a nice set of uniforms in their switch over. Not overly sold on the gray alternate, but everything else is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think the logo on the right upper thigh is just because team's often opt for logos on both outer hips, leaving the left thigh blank (and aesthetically, we are used to seeing something there), so Nike remedied the situation by always putting their logo on the left thigh so it looks normal if teams go double-hip, but also retains the front upper thigh option, just on the other (right) side.. Basically, just a standardized swoosh location, instead of having to put it on one spot for some teams, then moving it for others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Can someone explain to me why Nike can do this for their NCAA clients, and their last few NFL makeovers have been complete and utter garbage? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djam2410 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The Smoke Gray jersey looks different depending on the lighting. They have some better shots of it here in this gallery.Hopefully they wear it at night as the daytime lighting looks horriblehttp://www.utsports.com/view.gal?id=181666 Cal Bears | Miami Dolphins | Cleveland Cavaliers |@dcjames5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, just a standardized swoosh location, instead of having to put it on one spot for some teams, then moving it for othersIt used to be the reverse, though. Nike would always put the swoosh on the right thigh (viewers' left) and sometimes leave the left thigh blank. I wanna say the switch started when the Pro Combat uniforms came out and they started doing the cutoff pants stripes.Overall it's not a huge issue, just odd that they would switch when Adidas and UA still have their logos on the players' right thigh.

hugevolsfan Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Can't complain about these at all I am really happy with these which surprises me!I don't love the adding of the checkerboard as I have always liked that on the end zone only but it is not a lot of it.I liked the restraint Nike shown on these we will look better than last year because I hated the tire tread pattern & the Tennessee on the away jersey.I will miss the number font as I really liked it.

JPDesign Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think this is the first time we've seen Nike use a "full" collar on the Mach Speed template. Everything else had previously cut off at the seam (FSU, TCU) or had no collar color/pattern.I think Florida State tried it for the first game last year then went with the truncated neck when they got their replacement uniforms. Or it may only have been the first run replicas.Those were on the Speed Machine template, not the Mach Speed template.When they went to the Mach Speed template it became a truncated collar.

the_grateful_ted Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well after the TCU debacle I'm very glad we don't have fully checkerboarded everything. I'm impressed about how they kept this very unique and different from Kentucky even though they obviously use a very important shared element Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Noire Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Very impressed with what Nike did here. It's clean, has little nods that make it distinctly Tennessee without going overboard. The alternate is really nice as well, and I can't believe I just typed that. It doesn't go too crazy, and my favorite part is the helmet. Nike actually had the good sense to make a helmet that goes with the smokey unis, unlike Adidas who just kept the white shell.Home run. All the sports look pretty darn good to be honest.

BVZ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Interesting to see the power T on the front bumper in some promo pics, while in others "vols" is shown. I prefer the latter for redundancy sake personally. Also, an older version of the Vols script is shown on the back bumper, which seems a little misplaced. The number font appears to be very similar to Texas' except for the #1. I expected the 3-star circle logo to be incorporated but still a great set overall from Nike, even though I was actually fan of the Adidas set. Even the alt is tolerable, as long as they only wear it once a year. This is Nike's best offseason ever in terms of college football IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEstones Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Thoughts on the new Volunteer football uniforms:Would have liked to see the solid stripe to checker be carried to the collar. Mirror it from the pants.The number font seems to be recycled. I think I saw it in a Conrad font pack. It should match the style of the wordmark.Needs to have TV numbers. I hate this current trend of no TV number. Inexcusable. It doesn't look like a uniform without them.Overall, its a solid update. Just like everything Nike does... a few minor tweaks here or there, and the uniforms could be spectacular. Its almost like they have different people designing pants, then the shirts, then the helmets. Its weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorback447 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 How would you have carried the pants stripe over to the collar? That seems like it might be pretty tough to do without it looking too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycumbee19 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Only thing Id change about the Vols new set is the striping. They're known historically for double pants stripes. Just use the same pattern, just with 2 stripes. Basically this but inverted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this gives them consistency throughout the design. In this case, single stripe >>>> double stripe IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
