Last week, the Tennessee Volunteers revealed they’d be donning their ‘Dark Mode‘ uniforms vs. the Kentucky Wildcats. Today, Will Stein‘s team countered to the best of its ability.
With the Vols in all-black, the Wildcats announced on Tuesday that they’d be in ‘ice-cold’ white against Tennessee. Kentucky showed off its white jersey, white pants and metallic helmet with photos in front of bags of ice and freezers.
The white-on-black uniform clash is a heavyweight matchup in the SEC Championship and College Football Playoff chase. Big Blue Nation has seen its team exceed all expectations in Stein’s first year in Lexington.
