Vols will introduce an alternate helmet this year

According to VQ

"Lastly, let's just address this: there's increasing belief Tennessee will wear an alternate helmet in the coming season. From prospects to on-campus staff, nearly double-digit people have told VolQuest.com the alternate helmet --- Tennessee has had, essentially, the same 'Power T' helmet for several decades --- is going to become a reality this year. Multiple designs have been studied, from one that would closely match the Vols' 'Smokey Gray' alternate uniforms to an entirely different scheme. We will continue pursuing this matter, but we expect Tennessee has made plans --- and, according to sources, orders --- to wear a new helmet this fall."

 

Perhaps similar to the new Miami (white) helmets.

The bluehairs will lose it.

 

Yep.

 

Let them. It is 2014, times they are a changin'.

 

I hope that they do.

 

They may become so enraged as to actually put their newspapers down, rip their sweater vests open, or accidentally drop the candles of remembrance which they continue to hold for Fulmer's demise.

They're largely the generation which allowed the belief that Tennessee was just a good-once-in-a-decade-program, and held enough sway so to be able to denounce and marginalize anyone who dared dared to disagree with that stupidity, or who also failed to see how a football program would benefit by spending millions of dollars on widening the stalls in skybox restrooms, and at a time when the program was otherwise in such bad financial constraints and general disarray as to have hired Derek F'ing Dooley.

F'em and good riddance.

Were it up to me, they'd have a slidng scale for tickets, based on age. Starting ticket price: $10. And add a $25 surcharge for each year beyond the age of 50 of the person presenting the ticket for admission.

60 years old? That'll be $260, please.

 

Will the players like it? If that answer is yes, then go for it. If that answer is no, then leave as is.*

However, I hope 3rd time is the charm for the smokey grays this year.

*-My lone caveat is I would prefer we would wear the traditional jerseys/helmets vs. Bama and they wear the all crimson, but I won't leave and never comes back if they walk out in something different.

 

Same helmet (orange stripe, power T), but with a smokey gray metallic chipped finish, so as to shine and not look like a matte finish, instead of just white, IMO.

 

I am not a fan of the Smokey grays but have had fans of other teams tell me how much they like them. I don't care what they wear; just "Win".

 

I like the grey uniforms a lot. And if you don't win when you wear them, don't blame the uniform.

I will admit, however, that I am not a fan of the canned music or the jumbotron. I want to hear the band, I want to not have the distraction of a Dish commercial or some sales pitch. I don't need a sign to tell me when to yell or clap. But I understand the changes and have decided not to go to the home games much anymore and leave it to those that enjoy that sort of thing.

I will get my kids to one home game this year, however. Important for them to experience it.

 

Vol Navy helmets, imo

 

Holy shit that would be bad ass.

 

InVol, how did you change the gold to orange? Is it just putting a transparent layer on top?

 

I think they look sharp, but winning is #1 priority.

 

Yes, please.

 

Layer mask out the gold bar -> desaturate it -> create a layer of just orange color and set it to be a clipping mask to only cover the bar -> set blending mode to color

 

YES

 

Thanks, I've seen people do that with pictures of cars, and I've always wondered.
