 That blows serious chunks! Tennessee needs to go back to the grey facemasks that They had until 1983

Get whoever designs the Ducks' helmits, uniforms, and have them present something. I love thier innovative unis, some are far out and crazy looking but they do make a statement. Or get the people who did the Army, Navy new unis. |

The Ducks uniforms were better when the helmets were yellow with Donald Duck on the side |

What we have now works just fine. In the '90s it was considered a drastic uniform shakeup when UT lined its road jersey numerals in black. The Vols were able to win plenty of games without making a statement with their dress. |

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to uniforms, but I actually like this. It's subtle, yet noticeable.

Doesn't look bad, although I'd rather have a white facemask, but I'd rather stick with what we've got.

Could you imagine an orange helmet with a white stripe? |

Don't love it, don't hate it. It would look better with a white facemask.
We might as well accept the fact that the players love stuff like this. And keeping them (and recruits) happy is the game.

I like the checkerboard but keep the mask white or go back to gray (traditional & reduces glare).

Gray facemasks is about the only change to the current helmets I'd like to see. |

That might be for something different. Maybe try it a game or two... |

I don't think Riddell makes the Vols helmets. I believe that Schutt does. Perhaps this is like the black helmets we saw before; just someone's personal idea. Who knows. I am not thrilled with the design, and I think they should stick with what they have until they earn something special/different by winning on a consistent basis.

UT doesn't have a helmet endorsement contract and has bought a large majority of their helmets from Schutt over the last decade or so, but they do use other manufacturer's helmets as needed, too. There are only a handful of manufacturers now, and while Schutt is the major supplier, UT does go elsewhere if another manufacturer makes a better helmet for a specific player's needs. |

Btw, word on Scout is that Brodus tweeted this, and that this was a custom helmet done by a friend of theirs. The guy has supposedly done all sorts of custom helmets for the guys.  |

Is that Brodus in that pic? Whoever it is is wearing an Ooltewah shirt, and I'm pretty sure it isn't Jaquez Smith. Not that any non-OHS alum would care.  |

Don't hate it, I do kinda like it. But I'd really love to see a solid black helmet with an orange Power T on it as well as a solid orange with a white Power T and a white strip down the middle.
