Tennessee Football’s uniforms this season

Tennessee started the season in an alternate uniform, wearing the Smokey Grey set in the 69-3 win over Chattanooga.

The Smokey Grey alternate, 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.

An all-black helmet, with an orange Power T and orange helmet stripe, was added in 2022.
