KNOXVILLE — Tennessee will debut its new Nike “Smokey Grey” alternate jerseys for Saturday’s home game against No. 19 Georgia.

The Volunteers wore gray jerseys against the Bulldogs in 2013, when Georgia scored a late tying touchdown and won 34-31 in overtime.

Tennessee also wore the gray jerseys in the loss to Vanderbilt that season, but did not wear any alternate jerseys last season.

“As of right now, if we do get all the helmets in, I do want to announce that it’ll be a ‘Smokey Grey’ game, so we will debut our ‘Smokey Grey’ uniforms,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said at his weekly press conference on Monday.

“It does not help you win a football game, but I know everyone’s been looking forward to that.”
