Lights Out Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Ok didn't the NCAA require Tenn to have the black outline on the home and away uni's because it was hard to see the #'s? Because there wasn't enough difference between the orange and the white?I don't think so. They allowed Tennessee to go without the black trim during the early '90s, after all: POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slammersman Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well I stand corrected. I knew somone complained about it other than me about that bright orange puke color jersey. Being a Bama fan it hurts me to sat this but the Auburn orange is way better on the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 it's gonna be a surprise addition when they wear these grey alts. Tennessee really needs to get a new "smokey" helmet to match with their new alt, or at least a new helmet decal (i.e. orange Power T with gray outline) and gray face mask. Nope. Keeping the helmet the same was one of the stipulations given to adidas in the design process.You mean to tell me the school made a decision about its identity and adidas wasnt allowed to do/force any thing they wanted?

Jamikel Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The giant ass Adidas logo and wordmark makes the front numbers look too low, but I do like that they've finally gotten rid of the black outline on the road jerseys. There's plenty of contrast between the orange and white without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not sure if anyone had posted this angle of the greys yet: I really hate adidas pants stripes. They tend to be uneven in width from top to bottom, and they are very curvy and just look bad.I think that is just a product of super tight form fitting uniforms, causes a straight line to warp and change as it goes over different parts of the bodyWell Nike doesn't seem to have that problem, compare this To this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It all depends on the person. Those lineman are carrying a lot more fat than that linebacker. If you look at Manziel, it's the bending of his leg that distorts the stripe. Not the fit of the pant. Padding affects it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Also the line backer is wearing his pants like biker shorts, rather than all the way past the knee like manziel, you can see the same thing going on with ponder, just not as bad because the stripe is thicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nike also has mesh on the side of their pants, where the stripes are. Adidas pants use the same fabric throughout which stretches much more than mesh. The way I see it they each took a different approach to uniform design. Adidas wants to be tight, and Nike wants to be breathable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their stripe curves at the hip and knee of every player when the standing straight up. In the picture below you can see how curved the stripe is, even though the player's leg is completely straight.

LEWJ Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Aside from the gray alternate, Tennessee's set is beautiful.I'd go as far as to say they're top-5, in my book. I've always loved Tennessee orange!Love the number font though, and the removal of black. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
