LSU isn’t about to let visiting Tennessee steal its thunder when it comes to the uniform game.
The Volunteers revealed on Monday that they were bringing back their “Smokey Grey” uniforms for the first time in several years, their last appearance coming in 2017.
The Tigers responded on Saturday by revealing their own special uniform combo. As you can see below, the team will be wearing all-whites for the midday showdown at Death Valley, as signified by the helmet picture below:
