The Tennessee Volunteers have some of the most-iconic uniforms in all of college sports, especially with the checkerboard pattern that has long been on the helmet and pants.
However, for the 2018 season, it appears the checkerboard stripes will be no more, and will no longer be featured in Knoxville.
As you can see below, VFL Chad Fields reported that a single solid stripe will replace the old checkerboard patterns:
BREAKING:
Sources have confirmed that @Vol_Football will be retiring the checkerboard stripe on the helmet and pants, and will instead have a single solid stripe. These uniform changes are added to the return of black cleats and the dropping of Smokey grey alternate. pic.twitter.com/lMtQRs4q7r— Chad Fields (Vols Uniform Boy) (@CfieldsVFL) July 12, 2018
In addition to getting rid of the Smokey grey alternate uniforms, there have been some big changes in Knoxville this offseason.
New coach Jeremy Pruitt will be getting a fresh start when it comes to uniforms as well, and it’ll be interesting to see how these changes are received by fans.
