Tennessee Football announces uniform combination for Vanderbilt game

Tennessee Football will wear its traditional home uniform — white helmets, orange jerseys, white pants — for its Senior Day game against Vanderbilt on Saturday at Neyland Stadium. The regular-season finale is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time start on ESPN.

The Vols announced their uniform combo on social media on Wednesday.

Tennessee wore all white in the 31-11 win at Florida last week, after spending the previous two games in alternates uniforms.

The Vols wore their Smokey Grey ‘Volunteer Spirit’ alternate uniform in the 42-9 win over New Mexico State on November 15 and wore their all-back ‘Dark Mode’ alternate in the 33-27 loss to Oklahoma on November 1.

Tennessee wore its traditional home uniform in its other four home games this season and wore orange jerseys and orange pants on the road at Mississippi State. The Vols wore all white in the other three road games this season.

Tennessee’s other uniform combinations this season

The Vols wore their all-white road uniforms in their last two road games, in the 37-20 loss at Alabama and the 56-34 win at Kentucky.

Tennessee was in orange jerseys through the first six games of the season thanks to a neutral-site game against Syracuse in Atlanta, where the Vols were designated as the home team, and Mississippi State’s white out on September 27 in Starkville.

The Vols wore their traditional home uniform in the first three games this season — Syracuse, ETSU and Georgia — then all orange against UAB and at Mississippi State, where the Bulldogs were honoring their 2000 team by wearing white helmets, white jerseys and white pants.

Vols in final season of Nike apparel contract

Tennessee is in its final season in Nike uniforms under its current apparel contract. The Vols on July 1 will begin a 10-year deal with Adidas.

The Vols have two alternate uniforms, with the Smokey Grey and Dark Mode sets. The Dark Mode look was introduced in 2021, the first season under head coach Josh Heupel, and features all-black jerseys and pants, with orange numbers and pants stripes.

A white helmet trimmed in black was worn in 2021 — the orange helmet stripe and Power T was trimmed in black, to go with a black facemask — before an all-black helmet was added in 2022.

The Vols wore the Dark Mode uniform in wins over South Carolina in 2021 and 2023 and wins over Kentucky in 2022 and 2024.
