Tennessee Football Uniform Options

Tennessee wore its traditional home uniform with Summitt Blue accessories in the 33-14 Homecoming win over Mississippi State two weeks ago and was in the all-white road uniform last week at Georgia.

The Vols were in their all-black ‘Dark Mode’ alternate uniform in the 28-18 win over Kentucky at Neyland Stadium. Tennessee had worn its traditional home look, with orange jerseys and white pants, the previous two weeks, in the 23-17 overtime win over Florida and the 24-17 win over Alabama.

Tennessee opened the season in its Smokey Grey alternate uniform in the 69-3 win over Chattanooga on August 31 and wore orange jerseys and orange pants against Kent State in the 71-0 win on September 14.

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. 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.
