yeah they are pretty sweet looking, but is blue one of their colors?  Is this kind of like us sporting some orange uniforms as our alternates.  Just seems a little weird.

Maybe they're trying to do something in that vain after merging the two AD's? Or maybe they just think the blue looks pretty, which is probably a lot more likely.

Edit: Or the guys above are right and it isn't blue at all, this is all some of the fun of uniformz.

Hidias. I can't believe the number of posts suggesting that this anything other than hideous. Every single thing about this design is wrong. The iconic Tennessee helmet looks out of place with the rest. That carbon grey looks like it just crawled out of a coal mine. It may be the grimmest alternate I've ever seen.

You know, those actually aren't bad at all as Adidas alternates go - it doesn't make up for the damage Adidas has done to my optic nerves over time, but this does help. 

SBNation had an amusing remark on these actually, talking about how the last alternate uniform was the 2009 Halloween game versus South Carolina, which was victory, but alas, a Lane Kiffin-coached victory. Therefore, no black in the uniform this time. 

Here's the release video from Adidas:

Not bad as far as these things go, I guess.  Does Tennessee have the uniform history that makes the occasional alternate not a crime against tradition?  

I do wish Adidas would stop trying to make the undershirt sleeves as a part of the uniform's look happen.  The uniform would be much better without the stupid checkered pattern on the sleeves, or sleeves at all, really.

The upper part of the jersey reminds me of the condom that's sitting in my trash can right now.

That aside, it sux that we dumped Uniformz just when Adidas was starting to get good (or better, at least) at this.

but hey the kidz on the recruiting trail will love it so it's all good.

I think it's time Nike upped the ante and developed a uniform that's based on tattoos.
