Tennessee Football’s ‘Dark Mode’ Uniform History
Tennessee’s ‘Dark Mode’ alternate uniform made its debut in the 44-6 win over Kentucky last October, as the Vols improved to a perfect 8-0 on the season. The uniform features a black helmet with a black facemask, with an orange helmet stripe and orange Power T logos on the sides. The black jerseys are feature orange numbers and the black pants feature two orange stripes.
Tennessee first introduced a black alternate uniform two years ago in a 45-20 win over South Carolina on October 9, 2021 at Neyland Stadium. The look included orange jerseys and orange pants but was paired with a white helmet, which had a black facemask and orange Power T’s and an orange helmet stripe, all trimmed in black.
The Vols also wear a Smokey Grey alternate as part of the Smokey Grey Series. Each season Tennessee will wear a new version of the Smokey Grey alternate as part of the Smokey Grey Series. The ‘Artful Dodger’ version worn this season paid homage to Condredge Holloway, featuring orange shoulders, a white outline around orange jersey numbers, two orange stripes on the grey pants and a thin orange helmet stripe and a grey facemask on the Smokey Grey helmet.
