Tennessee Basketball

It's a very clean design, but unfortunately, I think it does little to improve on Tennessee's current uniforms. Adidas has created a sleek, but very conservative uniform for the Vols. Other than the checkerboard stripes, it's not a ton different (plus, the checkerboard is more associated with UT football than hoops).

I'd prefer to see a new design be a little more bold and I'm not sure if the checkerboard stripes really do that. The Nike and Jordan Brand college basketball designs (St. Johns, Villanova, Cincinnati) are good examples. Also, your type treatment isn't moving too far away from the current style.

Keep pushing it and show us more.

UT Football has a checkerboard endzone. Not many colleiate teams marry design elements and concepts across the board. (I think UMiami is the only one to use the same fontface and number style for all its major teams). That being said, I think it'd b kinda cool to see UT hoops with the checkerboard side trim, if only for the simple reason that its UNIQUE TO UT. Plus, no other team I know of uses checkerboard (other than the Charlotte Checkers ECHL hockey team). I like it.

Colorado did the same thing as Miami, and Oregon has unified their wordmarks as well. More schools should, but some others have.

And UT hoops should consider checkerboards. The school's best known team is football (or women's hoops), and the team is best known for the end zones. A subtle allusion wouldn't kill the basketball team, and could enhance their visibility (as if the unique color and nickname weren't enough).
