Follow the full play-by-play and box score →Tennessee will wear white helmets, white jerseys and white pants Saturday against Texas A&M in College Station. The No. 9 Vols enter the 3 p.m. ET game on ESPN at 7-2 overall and 4-2 in SEC play, while the Aggies are 4-5 and 1-5.
UT has used the same combination for three road games this season. Tennessee wore all white in a 45-24 win at Georgia Tech, a 24-17 win at Arkansas on Oct. 10 and a 27-24 loss at South Carolina on Oct. 24.
The uniforms are part of Tennessee’s first football season back with Adidas after an 11-year run with Nike. The updated design features a new number font that UT said was developed with Adidas and inspired by the block numbers associated with the program’s history.
Other details connect the current uniform to Tennessee tradition. The inside of the back collar includes “I will give my all!”, referencing the sign players tap when leaving the locker room. On the collar, a Power T also sits inside a circle as a nod to Tennessee’s Adidas uniforms from the 1990s.
Tennessee has mixed its classic combinations with alternate designs this season. The Vols wore their “Neyland Legacy” Smokey Grey set against Auburn on Oct. 3 and went with all-black uniforms against Kentucky on Nov. 7.
Why it matters
Tennessee enters the matchup at 4-2 in SEC play, while Texas A&M is 1-5 in conference games. The Vols have already worn this all-white combination in road wins at Georgia Tech and Arkansas and a road loss at South Carolina.
What to watch next
