Tennessee football introduced its newest away jersey on Tuesday, presenting a crisp white canvas highlighted by oversized orange numerals and a centered white Power T on the collar.
Design Heritage Meets Modern Innovation
The design emerged from a joint effort between the university’s in‑house creative group and Adidas, aiming to revive the block‑style lettering that has long defined Volunteer uniforms while integrating contemporary detailing.
Inside the back of the collar, a subtle inscription reads “I will give my all!”, a tribute to a locker‑room ritual that players touch before stepping onto the field, adding a personal touch to the garment.
The collar also features the Power T enclosed within a circle, a visual echo of the Adidas uniforms worn by the Vols in the 1990s, linking past and present.
A New Era of Collaboration
Beyond football, the rollout extends to all Tennessee athletics, with Summitt Blue alternates for the Lady Vols and a Dark Mode variant for men’s sports, while the Smokey Grey series — originally launched in 2013 — continues as part of the new apparel agreement.
Fans can expect merchandise to hit stores and online platforms this Friday, marking the first opportunity to purchase the new designs as the university begins an 11‑year stint under the Adidas partnership, succeeding a decade‑long tenure with Nike.
Athletic director Danny White emphasized that the alliance with Adidas aligns with the university’s ambition to develop the nation’s premier athletics department, underscoring the strategic importance of the partnership.
