What the Vols wore in Week 1
Tennessee wore its Smokey Grey alternate uniform in the 69-3 win over Chattanooga in the season opener at Neyland Stadium.
The look, part of the Smokey Grey Series, paid tribute to the Volunteer State, with the jersey featuring the Tri-Star logo on the sleeve, Tennessee across the chest and an an altered helmet stripe and pants stripe mimicked the state flag.
Alternate uniforms have been a constant during the Josh Heupel era. The Vols introduced their Dark Mode alternate uniform in 2021, with black pants and black jerseys, with orange numbers and orange pants stripes. An all-black helmet, with an orange Power T and orange helmet stripe, was added in 2022.
Tennessee also debuted an alternate orange helmet for the first time in program history at South Carolina in 2022. The Smokey Grey alternate returned in 2022.
