If you're a Tennessee Vols fan who was hoping to see orange pants in Norman this weekend, you're out of luck. 

Tennessee announced on Thursday morning that they'll be wearing their all white look on Saturday night against the Oklahoma Sooners. 

This is the second time this season that Tennessee has gone with the "stormtrooper" look. The Vols also wore all white in their win against NC State in Week 2. 

How do the Tennessee Vols decide which uniforms to wear?

Vols head coach Josh Heupel allows Tennessee's leadership council to decide which uniforms to wear each week. 

"I think it's really cool how Coach Heupel lets the leadership council pretty much decide what uniforms to wear," said Vols backup quarterback Gaston Moore on The Players Lounge this week. "He makes it what our teammates want it to be, which I think is pretty cool."

Ultimately, this sport is all about the athletes on the field that are giving their all. It's only right that they get a say in which uniforms the team wears each week.
