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.
