University of Tennessee linebacker Curt Maggitt models a new gray uniform during media day at Neyland Stadium.KNOXVILLE — They’re coming back.
The Tennessee Volunteers will wear the smokey gray alternate uniforms that were introduced in August for the second time this season in Saturday night’s home finale against Vanderbilt.
The Vols narrowly missed an upset of Georgia when they debuted the look against the Bulldogs in October.
First-year coach Butch Jones approved the decision of his team’s 12-man player staff.
“It’s just something we’ve spoken about,” Jones said following Tuesday’s practice. “Our players, we talk about that. We’ve talked about the gray becoming more standard a little bit in our football program, so it’s just something with our seniors that they wanted to do, and I think it’s a reward for them.
