Tennessee Vols Reveal 2025 Uniform Combinations — But One Major Look Is Missing
In a move that has left fans talking across Rocky Top, the Tennessee Volunteers have unveiled their full uniform lineup for the 2025 football season—and there’s one shocking twist: the beloved “Smokey Grey” alternate look has been left out.
This year’s combinations feature the classic orange and white home uniforms, the iconic all-white “Stormtrooper” road set, and a handful of modernized orange-on-orange combos reserved for key SEC matchups. But the absence of the fan-favorite grey alternates—a look that has been part of many unforgettable Tennessee moments in recent years—has raised questions and stirred speculation.
Head Coach Josh Heupel and the Vols’ equipment team released a behind-the-scenes video detailing the inspiration behind each look. From the traditional orange jerseys honoring the program’s rich history to new helmet decals featuring subtle nods to Tennessee’s state heritage, each detail reflects a blend of legacy and innovation.
The Vols will also debut a new “Power T Pride” uniform for the Homecoming game, showcasing a bold orange-on-white combination with metallic accents. The message is clear: Tennessee is leaning heavily into tradition while pushing forward with fresh energy and purpose.
So why remove the grey? Sources close to the program suggest it’s less about preference and more about focus—returning to the roots of Tennessee football, where orange and white dominate and distractions are minimized. It may also be a play to spark anticipation for a dramatic future return of the Smokey Greys.
As Neyland Stadium prepares to erupt once again this fall, one thing is clear: the Vols are suiting up for a statement season. No gimmicks. No flash. Just grit, power, and a whole lot of orange.
Let the countdown to kickoff begin.
