Jaybird Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I am watching the Tennessee-UNLV football game on ESPN, and I noticed that the Tennessee Volunteers are wearing white jerseys with orange shoulders and orange numbers trimmed in black. Also, the helmets have a smaller stripe than usual. I remembered seeing a picture of 1970's UT Quarterback Condredge Holloway (Played for the Toronto Argonauts) wearing this style of jersey. Is this a one game special uniform or will this be the Vols' road uniforms for this season? Atlanta Braves, please bring back the Indian Head logo.

MJWalker45 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 it's a throwback but some of the players want to wear it for a road game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Wanted it to become the new road, but the SEC and NCAA determined that it had too much color on the shoulders to be used as a regular white. Coach Fulmer talked about it on the call-in show Monday night. The seniors asked that the change be made, but the SEC denied the petition. They granted a special waiver for this one occasion.We may not have seen the last of the throwback pants, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree with you. I loved them, and I usually hate white jerseys. Very unique, and they reminded Vol fans of the Condredge Holloway era. Especially liked the orange yokes. I think that it's ridiculous that the SEC won't approve the use of these jerseys for road games. Toledo has blue yokes on their unis, and yet, they are allowed to use them on the road.

ColeJ Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 my main complaint with them was the inconsistent use of black on the uniforms...and i generally love white uniforms. if they want to use black, use it consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
