OT Uniformz: Tennesee's new Nike alternates

Adidas hasn't been really relevant since RUN DMC.  Kids wear Nike gear, period.  You don't really see Adidas that much at all.  

A tradition rich school like Tennessee should never wear alternate uniforms and grey isn't even one of their colors.

Not bad.  Not great, and I like  their baseline unis more, but not bad as uniformz go.  The orange pops nicely off the black.  

Considering how terrible their colors are this could be a lot worse.

I have a feeling UT players will love them!

Nothing wrong with those.

I thought that the first UTL uniforms were ok mostly because I thought it was a one time thing probably. When we wore uniformz 4 other times that season, they all became shitty but that may have been me just wanting us to wear our actual uniforms for one game.

MIami went from Nike to Adidas

I still want a proper all white once every few years for big road games.

The standard unis look pretty clean to me.

Nike knows how to keep it clean. These were the playoff uniforms. 

Ever since Nike has focused on brand consolidation (for teams not named Oregon) their uniforms have just looked a little too cut-and-paste to me.

Is there a problem with taking the photos in natural light?  On a field?  Where they play the game?  

Ugly IMO, but designs like these and the U of L Adidas ones seem to be attracting the recruits, regardless of branding. 

are looking more and more the same...like non-ALTs.

When will this end? All of these companies are trying too hard to be cutting edge with their designs. I'm all for changing this stuff up and whatnot, but, a bit more subtle seems the way to go.

I don't even consider these uniformz. Pretty well done if you ask me.

buh buh buh buh buuuuuut Nike..

Tight.

Colors aren't ridiculous, the design is pretty sleek, and I like the 'endzone' stripe on the back of the helmet. That's a design detail that actually makes sense for the Vols and doesn't feel forced.

The major negative is that inexplicable swath of gray on the helmet, but maybe that looks better when you see the whole thing. Also, I don't like the two swooshes on the same side (shirt/pants). Seems redundant.

Maybe 7/10. Lower 7s. 

What Arena League team did they steal this from?

Purgatory awaits ye!

The worst part is, Tennessee's traditional home uniforms are unique and pretty cool as well. These are atrocious. Tennessee had horrible uniform experiments with Adidas as well, which makes me think this is promoted by the AD.

I think the smoke grey is a nod to the smokey mountains of Tennessee. It's not a random black for the sake of wearing black, or grey for the sake of wearing grey. They have worn grey unis for a few years now. They also wore black a few years back. The grey makes a lot more sense than the black. Also, the women's basketball team has had baby blue in their unis for as long as I can remember. Grey and baby blue are like unofficial colors for the football and women's basketball teams.

I thought that uniform sucked, but then I saw the swoosh and I realized that the uniform was really great!

Hard to tell with all the smoke. But I like them.

However, UM should just choose converse, or fila, or whatever company will design uniforms that were the same that their father's and grandfather's wore. Cause Christ, Michigan is all about tradition, and by that I mean that they despise change.

I mean it, why bitch about which brand the players wear? You guys can't stand change.

"Black is the New Orange" feel. Or something.

Vol fan checking in...these suck compared to the smokey gray ones adidas made. One of the few times adidas did something better than Nike...but geez.

These are horrid...I wouldn't let my son play NCAA 2015 Football on his PS3 with these uniforms!

At least the Tennessee 'T' isn't plastered on the front of the pants where the Cup should go.

Has no business dressing themselves in the morning.

I like it--very clean look.
