Black jerseys?
Some Tennessee players have expressed the desire to wear black jerseys on Saturday against South Carolina. Tyler Bray has been the most vocal on Twitter. I personally think we should, both to inject more energy into the team and crowd, and to dissociate the jerseys from Lane Kiffin. Here's some tweets:
@MychalRivera Blackout in Neyland!!! Oh lets doo itttt!!!
@tbrayvol8 Volnation needs to blackout Neyland Stadium. That would really show your support in this must win game.
@tbrayvol8 The media needs to help make this blackout in Neyland happen
@tbrayvol8 Just to clear things up we want our fans to wear black.

Seriously, why not?
It’s not a sign of disrespect to the normal colors. It’s one of the very few expressions of fun that the NCAA allows anymore. It’s something that gets them excited and keeps them motivated at the end of a brutal stretch. (I know, I know, if they’re not motivated already /rabblerabble.)
Besides, I think it’d be pretty cool to have orange and black on Halloween weekend, especially for home games. That last one was a lot of fun. Setting aside the win – just watching the students in costumes in the cold rain was great. One of the few times that I’ve seen people honestly have fun at a game regardless of the on-field result.
As long as we isolate them to Halloween weekend, I've got no problem
Also, it’d be kinda cool to have 1930s throwback black jerseys (black with orange power T on the chest).
However, I still say we should wear orange and let South Carolina should wear black, then they should return the favor next year. Seriously, we always play on Halloween weekend. One of our primary colors is orange. One of their primary colors is black. Why has this not happened?
Heel for school, Vol for life!
Bolts, Preds, Canes (childhood team, home state team, hometown team). Canes mini-STH. Southern hockey solidarity!

I was pulling for that two years ago.
I don’t mind how things worked out, but I agree. It’d be pretty cool.

That wouldn't bother me
I did love our black jerseys though, and we crushed them that night so that’s a plus.
Florida Sucks!
Yeah, winning helped.
Had we lost that game, people would have blamed the jerseys, much like they blame orange pants for somehow losing games for us.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
And we even wore orange pants that game
obviously black jerseys > orange pants
What do we have to lose?
Besides the game(news flash we are picked to lose anyway). By the way i agree with “@tbrayvol8 Just to clear things up we want our fans to wear black”. I always wear orange, but not this saturday i will opt for the black and orange. I would prefer to keep the black jerseys for Halloween night home games. Heavily leaning toward us orange them black. That last one would require the dreaded orange pants(not Dooley’s). Maybe a poll with the different ideas.
GO BIG ORANGE!!
