All joking aside, this is what's wrong with college athletics, that a traditional school has to resort to gimmicks to try and win.

I don't think anything can be worse than this.

TN must have been the second choice.

Nike offered this to Arkansas last year and we turned it down to go back to a more traditional look in 2014.

This makes our cross division opponent look better IMO.

I'd say that has more to do with the deal being negotiated when we played Oregon. Or IOW, we got a sweet deal cuz we filled Autzen.

That game was played on Halloween so the jersey was appropriate - they weren't a formal uni so much as run down the street and have these made. But again for a night game on Halloween the Jack O Lantern look worked.

If you can't beat them(Oregon), mimic them!

The once mighty Vols have gone gadget. Gotta do whatever they can to sell out of state talent to come help them.

In truth, Tenn actually may well have some uni combos that are huge upgrades.

Anyone reminder those years that Tennessee wasn't in the MAC conference?

Geez Tennessee...act like Tennessee. You're program is better than this.

My thoughts as well. Don't really care. On field performance is all that matters.

Winning is about execution. Not a jersey.

Conventional wisdom says teams with wild and ugly uniforms have some sort of recruiting edge. I'm not convinced, though.

Reminds me when Lane Kiffin said he was going to make UT the Southern Cal of the East.

Hope the results are similar.
