Traditionalists won't love it (because of course), and I tend to lean toward the traditionalist way of thinking when it comes to uniforms, but I absolutely love this idea.
These would be perfect for Tennessee's "Halloween game" (the last game in October). This year that game is on the road against Kentucky.
The Vols showed a willingness to wear alternate uniforms on the road earlier this season against LSU (UT wore their smokey grey look against the Tigers in Baton Rouge), so it's not out of the question that Tennessee could wear them in Lexington this season.
Recruits love different uniform looks. And I think these would look great on television — especially if it's a night game.
Josh Heupel and athletic director Danny White have shown they're willing to listen to players when it comes to uniforms. Maybe they'll make these happen in 2023.
