Tennessee Football on Saturday morning released a video showing off the newest iteration of the Smokey Grey alternate uniform , which pays tribute to the Volunteer State. The look features the Tri-Star logo on the sleeve , Tennessee across the chest and an altered helmet stripe.
“Three stars that define us,” the Vols wrote in the uniform release. “Three stars that unite us. An ode to the Volunteer State.”
The grey jersey has orange numbers outlined in white below the Tennessee word mark across the chest — the first home jersey have Tennessee across the chest — and a Power T logo on the collar. A white stripe was added to the orange helmet stripe and three white stars are on the back of the helmet stripe, in tribute to the stripe and stars on the Tennessee state flag.
The Tri-Star circle logo patch on the sleeve is in orange, with white stars and the circle outlined in white. The helmet stripe is mirrored on the pants, with a white stripe added to the side of the orange pants stripe and three stars at the bottom.
The pants also feature the state on the hip with the Tri-Star logo.
Vols introduced ‘Smokey Grey Series’ in 2022
Tennessee in August 2022 announced the Smokey Grey Series , with the Vols bringing back the alternate uniform with a new iteration of the set each season through 2025, “with the potential to scale beyond those years.”
The Smokey Grey uniform, introduced in 2013 and remodeled after the switch to Nike in 2015, features a grey helmet with a Smokey Mountains pattern in shades of grey behind the orange Power T and orange helmet stripe.
Last season the Smokey Grey alternate paid homage to former Tennessee quarterback Condredge Holloway with orange around the neck and shoulders of the jersey, a silver facemark with a thinner orange helmet stripe and two orange stripes on the pants, all from the Tennessee uniform worn during the Holloway era. There was also a new white trim around the orange jersey numbers to go with the Smokey Grey pants and helmet.
The Smokey Grey is one of two alternate uniforms Tennessee Football has used the last two season. In 2021 the Vols introduced the Dark Mode alternate , with black jerseys, black pants and orange jersey numbers and pants stripes.
The initial Dark Mode look featured a white helmet with a black facemask and black outline around the Power T and the helmet stripe. It was changed to an all-black helmet in 2022, with an orange Power T and orange helmet stripe.
Tennessee wore its Smokey Grey alternate in a 30-13 win over Austin Peay on September 9 at Neyland Stadium. The Vols wore their Dark Mode uniform in a 40-21 win over South Carolina three weeks later.
This season Tennessee has home dates with Chattanooga (August 31), Kent State (September 14), Florida (October 12), Alabama (October 19), Kentucky (November 2), Mississippi State (November 9) and UTEP (November 23).
