Another Take on New Uniforms

I wanted to try for uniforms that look fast.  One pants style really seemed to stick out in my mind over others, so I built the uniforms on those.

I don't know if it's the hideous excuse of an orange that EA uses for Tennessee or what, but I couldn't find many ways to put black into the uniforms that didn't make them look absolutely terrible.  So for the most part, black became an accent.  I left it off the helmet entirely, though a few designs were tempting that used it as a light accent.

Fast_home_medium

You'll see in the others that I could get the strip to unify between the pants and jerseys.  With an orange jersey and white pants, the best solution was to use the pinstriping to make a faux-stripe of orange.

Fast_away_medium

I like this away version the best of my four ideas, but that may be partly because EA Orange is so horrible.  This is probably my favorite of these four.

Fast_orange_medium

A variant with the orange pants.

Fast_black_pants_medium

And with black pants.

 

There are a lot of other ways to handle this (starting with black jerseys), but I wanted to steer away from making black the center of attention.  After all, nobody knows yet if Kiffin is actually going to use black in the new uniforms.

I like the first one.

Especially the white piping along the jersey. Making them look “fast” or built for speed is a cool way to go. Incorporating black is difficult with our color scheme isn’t it? Too much and it looks like it’s time to go trick-or-treating. Nice job.

I think I'd like that first one a lot better in actual Vols orange.

Seriously, EA needs to fix that. It’s just horrible.

feedback

I like the first one, and agree that it would look better in actual UT orange
I like the second one as well.
I have never been a big fan of the all-orange jerseys.
The last one is hideous. Absolutely hideous. I might consider renouncing my fanhood if the Vols ever came out to play in black pants.

heh.

That last one was a whim.

Griping again about the EA orange: I very, very nearly used the Miami orange in place of it. Miami. Couldn’t bring myself to do it, but it’s actually closer to Vols orange than that monstrosity.

the black pants

I should have stated that more narrowly. Black pants with orange on top is hideous beyond belief. I have seen a couple black on black creations that look okay.

Also, just so I can cover all my bases, I think orange pants with white on top is also pretty much hideous. I believe this is what we rocked against UCLA last year. They would have been hideous even in victory, imho.

Have you tried Okla St. orange? It might be closer. I haven’t played with it yet, but I may give it a shot, rather than just critiquing everyone else :)

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.
