conner62 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Tennessee fans are supposed to wear black to the game on Saturday. Could that mean....Rumors have been flying all over the message boards all week but I don't see Dooley letting them do it. It would take to much planning preseason to get done. Adidas couldn't produce the jerseys very quickly because they can't even get UT's regular white jerseys the way Dooley wants them so there wearing an older model until then.

If no black then we should go all orange...it'd remind me of a pumpkin. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see black paints with 2 orange stripes and a white stripe down the middle as well. But regardless they need to be planned some time out so they can be stitched on and have the names on the back so they don't look like a high school with printed on numbers and loose jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Will all 120 FBS teams have matte black helmets and black jerseys by 2012?Depressingly enough, I would not be surprised.Ugh......I think I just need to return to black-and-white television. At least I won't be able to tell the difference on some occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Regarding Tennessee and the prep work for black jerseys, I'd disregard that because I recall they actually outsourced the job or production to a local sporting goods manufacturer for the last set of black jerseys and slapped some Adidas patches on them.

I could see a matte green or blue being particularly nice looking. I HATE THIS TIMELINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, even for Rutgers BFBS, the unis were bad, but the helmet looked great. It's a safe bet. I think Kentucky's would look awesome with a matte black helmet. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

BRice16 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Tennessee traditionally (well, 90s to mid 2000s) goes all orange for the game against Vandy. EDIT: Maybe not! Looking thru Getty, and 1999 and 2001 have Tennessee wearing white pants against Vandy. I know they've worn the all-orange against Vandy though at least a couple times.No. The only times Tennessee has worn all-orange since Phillip Fulmer took over in 1993 were against Memphis in 1999, the SEC Championship in 2007, and Auburn in 2009 (under Kiffin).With the exception of the two all-orange games in 1999 and 2007, the orange pants were not seen at home or on the road from 1993-2008, when we went white jerseys/orange pants at UCLA.Tennessee fans are supposed to wear black to the game on Saturday. Could that mean....Rumors have been flying all over the message boards all week but I don't see Dooley letting them do it. It would take to much planning preseason to get done. Adidas couldn't produce the jerseys very quickly because they can't even get UT's regular white jerseys the way Dooley wants them so there wearing an older model until then.Tennessee will not be in black on Saturday.

Since Fulmer left after the 2008 season, we've worn orange pants for every road game, with the exception of 2009 at Kentucky and last week against Alabama. Wore all-orange at home against Auburn in 2009 and orange pants with the black jerseys later that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
