Are we not wearing Dark Mode in the 2026 Football Season?

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything in the list of games - Salute to Service, Checker Neyland, etc, - about wearing Dark Mode or whatever the Adidas version will be called.

Bill Martin said on twitter they will announce dark mode when they know kick off times.

Should know kickoff times for the first three games at the end of this month.

Now that they have the whole dark mode production with lights and the band, I’m sure they’ll wait for a known night game. Specifically, one that’s even dark for pregame stuff. I would assume later in the season, when it gets dark earlier.

Too late. Kentucky seems most likely. Believe that has been the choice twice vs the Cats??? Drew

I doubt they would do it for homecoming.

You're probably right on it being the LSU game because the only other option is the Kentucky game.

This is correct. Later in the year (post daylight savings time so darker earlier), they won’t do it for homecoming, etc. - that’s also the weekend that several SEC teams play cupcakes. It’s not a great SEC slate, so it will almost certainly be late afternoon or night kickoff. Even if it’s a 3:30-4:00 start, it’s dark by halftime.

With any luck we won't.

I hope they did away with it.

I’m not really for or against it. I was just curious if we’ll have that look with Adidas. At heart, I’m a traditionalist but I’ll also admit Dark Mode has largely been good for Tennessee.

The issue with LSU is it's on Nov 21 and if it's cold, people are worried about staying warm, not wearing black.

It warms my heart that you hate it. Suffer I'd have them wear them permanently if I could. They are our best looking uniform.

They make black hoodies. We did Dark Mode last year in early November.
