Tennessee’s sticking with tradition this week. The Vols announced Thursday that they’ll wear their classic home look — white helmets, orange jerseys, and white pants — when Arkansas visits Neyland Stadium on Saturday.
Josh Heupel’s team has gone all-in on the orange this fall. This will be the sixth straight game Tennessee has worn its traditional home jersey — the orange tops have been a season-long staple, whether it’s in Knoxville or on the road. They’ve mixed in orange pants a couple of times already, including their win at Mississippi State, but this week it’s back to the clean, standard home set that fans know best.
Heupel mentioned the stakes of the Vols’ upcoming game earlier in the week. He’s hoping for a fired-up Neyland crowd for what’s Tennessee’s only home game this month.
The Vols (4-1, 1-1 SEC) are coming off a much-needed bounce-back performance and will look to stay in the SEC East mix before closing the month with road trips. Tennessee will break out its final Smokey Grey uniform later this fall against New Mexico State for the annual Salute to Service game, a military-themed “Volunteer Spirit” design inspired by Davy Crockett.
Kickoff on Saturday is set for 4:15 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
