I think there was some deal that UT would have rights to it east of the MS river, and Texas would have it to the west. But then I think Tenn started phasing it out to avoid double branding.
Not entirety sure, someone like Prof could help you out better than me

No that's split between the two schools.

That's exactly what was eventually settled upon. We never trademarked ours which is why you see the Power T trademarked to hell and back and probably why we settled for a division instead of pressing the rights further. Back then, neither school would've been in the other team's time zone or regional broadcast. However, we introduced the Power T at midfield to avoid it anyway.
Both schools ended up with better helmet logos anyway, imo. As I think Texas took the same step we did as it became clear to them that more broadcasts on television (college football used to have a limited number of tv broadcasts - period but lawsuits changed that) were becoming the norm. I'd have to look up the exact timelines but more television meant both schools needed to make sure they got their brands separated in a unique manner.

The 'N' that is not diagonal really bothers me.

Agreed it is the only thing I don't like and my eyes gravitate to it every time.

How is it any worse from mizzous script?
It isn't...but we don't want to go around wearing NFL Europe style uniform. The font is just the start.

Not bad, honestly. LSU has it's own "Geaux Font" it reserves for official use.
I see UT's in that vein.

Turrible

I just don't like it. It's goofy looking. Mizzou's script is clean and straight forward

I want them to take the word "Tennessee" off the Away jerseys. I don't like it. I hope Nike doesn't throw that on there.

It's 100% different. Can you not see? Mizzou doesn't have the goofy partially chopped off thing going on. The only thing the two have in common is that they are letters.

He's talking about your jerseys/pants/helmets as a whole. Looks like NFL Europe
Posted on 6/4/15 at 12:39 pm to VFL1800FPD
No, he was talking about the script. Which is entirely different.
You can not like our unis, that's fine. I don't like your new script. JMO

I think they should bring back this logo.

Nope...I was saying that the lettering across the front of the jersey is the gateway drug to NFL Europe style uniforms (which would end up including the pants, jerseys and helmet).

I don't like the UT script...but on the court it is bearable...just don't put it on the freakin' jerseys.

Looks ridiculous. When I think Tennessee, I think Power T and the old coonskin pioneer logo. I may not like UT at all, but one thing I've always respected is the tradition. Nike is just trying to sell new merchandise with this one.
They've redesigned the UK logo at midfield in Commonwealth and it's equally absurd IMO. Perhaps the reverse rebrand will look better when we see the whole package.
