At SEC Media Days, new Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel went on record to say that his football program would experiment with some different uniform combinations. That has played out in 2021.
Against South Carolina, the Vols sported all-black uniforms. Tennessee even gave the helmet some black trim around the historic orange T as the new coaching staff is attempting to put their unique spin on Rocky Top.
Throughout time, Tennessee has long stayed with white helmets and white pants. At home, orange jerseys would be worn.
