Tennessee football announces uniform combination for Furman game

Tennessee football will be wearing a classic home look of white helmets, orange tops and white pants for the 2026 season opener against Furman.

The Tennessee football team is set to debut their new Adidas uniforms during their season opener against Furman on September 5 at Neyland Stadium. This marks the first time the Vols will wear these uniforms since 2015, donning white helmets, orange jerseys, and white pants. The new jerseys also feature a jersey patch sponsored by First Horizon Bank, a deal announced on September 1 that will benefit UT athletics with an annual worth of more than $12 million.

During the 2025 season, UT achieved a 3-2 record with the standard home combination of orange jerseys, white pants, and white helmets. They won games against Syracuse, ETSU, and Mississippi State while wearing these uniforms, but fell to Georgia and Vanderbilt in varying circumstances. Additionally, UT wore their smokey grey uniforms on October 3 against Auburn, honoring the 100th anniversary of Gen. Robert Neyland's first season coaching the Vols.

The team also played with special throwback orange uniforms against Alabama, fulfilling a long-standing tradition of color-on-color matchups that have not occurred since 1970.
