BlountVol5's Uniform Creations

 

Well here are my uniform submissions.  When I started to think about changes I decided that if Kiffin were going to make changes, he would probably seek to take a slap at someone with the changes, and who better than Al Davis?  I decided to steal the silver and black of the Raiders and fold it into the home uniforms.  The helmet changes on the home uniform and I added numbers to the sleeves so that Kiffin would have an "out" when Davis tries to sue him for using the colors of the Raiders.  The helemt has both a silver and a black stripe on either side of the orange stripe.  It's hard to see that in these pics.

For the away uniforms I kept the traditional helmet and added checkerboards to the pants.  I did throw some black into them, if for no other reason, than to improve the visability of the numbers and names.  I also believe there should be more orange in the away jerseys, so I added the orange shoulders.  I added white stripes to the ends of the sleeves.

I hope that you all like these.  I also hope the pictures stay up.  I used tinypic to upload them because I didn't know how to do it any other way.  This is my first time posting on here.

Nice work

The pictures came out beautifully (as you probably already know). There’s no fear of them dropping either; SBNation uses their own server for photo hosting, so no “Photobucket has deleted your image” concerns. ;-)

What a heck of an intro into RTT commenting, too. Welcome!

Cool

I REALLY like the away version with the checkerboard pants. That’s pretty cool.

Welcome btw..

Thanks

You can easily get into some REALLY crazy designs on there, but I think simple and realistic is the way to go. Not to mention, there is nothing wrong with MORE CHECKERBOARD!! Had I been able to, I would have made the neck trim checkerboard as well, to tie that into the away pants.

My new goal in life

is to start a grassroots campaign to get Tennessee into checkerboard pants. That’s freakin’ awesome.

Definately love the cherckerboard pants……but I definately hate the black on the helments…even if Tennessee does incorporate black I hope they leave the helments alone.

My submission.

Hooper, I saw where you wanted one per person to be the submission. I think I will go with the checkerboard pant edition.

Thanks.

The one per just makes things easier for voting. Of course, it’s always nice to get feedback on a few first before deciding, like you got. :-)

We would have used your checkerboard ones either way, though; way too much discussion on them.

KNS Posted this tonight.....
Tennessee fan blogs have been buzzing about the possibility of the Vols playing in black jerseys this fall.

Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton indicated that such a drastic change from the Vols’ traditional orange jerseys isn’t likely.

Hamilton wouldn’t say no to black jerseys, though he did say Tuesday that he doesn’t foresee Tennessee in black "anytime in the near or distant future."

He also says the uniforms are ordered at least a year in advance of the season in which they will be worn, ruling out any changes made by coach Lane Kiffin to the 2009 season.

Hamilton says minor uniform decisions are made by the coach and equipment managers, but he’s included in major decisions.

That makes sense.

So we’re still in Fulmer’s preferences. But hey, maybe we can help Kiffin understand the fans’ feelings for next year…

/wishful thinking.

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
