Uniform Redesign Highlights
The University of Tennessee announced this week that it has returned to Adidas as the official apparel provider for all 20 of its varsity sports, ending a twelve‑year run with Nike.
The new football jerseys showcase a number font that blends a classic block silhouette with contemporary angular edges, while the orange home, white road and black alternate kits retain the school’s traditional palette and keep the familiar shoulder TV numbers.
A thin circle encircles the Power “T” on the collar, a subtle homage to the 1990s aesthetic, and the phrase “I will give my all!” is stitched inside the back collar as a motivational tagline.
The standard white and black alternate pants feature two side stripes and a larger Power “T” on the right hip, while the helmets remain unchanged with a thick orange center stripe and side logos.
Beyond football, the redesign includes a white circle around the SEC patch on the orange home jersey, a lack of contrasting collar on the white road version, and a black background for the SEC emblem on the black alternates.
The athletic department also hinted at a forthcoming “Smokey Grey” or throwback‑inspired alternate uniform that could debut later this season, adding another layer of variety to the lineup.
