if you are into that type of thing:

Doesn't do anything for me, but I do like the one Lane is wearing. Know where one of those could be picked up at?

[ONUV]

all the choices sucked

[real turf fan]

Knoxville local news had Kiffin holding the shirt up in front of him. Talk about looking stiff and uncomfortable.
A bit later, there was a film clip of him working with some players....all the difference in the world.

And that beats the hell out of looking good at photo ops and uncomfortable with his players.

The shirt sells for $14.99 and will be available at The UT Bookstore, Alumni Hall, Sports Seasons, McMillin's and Mast General Store as well as online at volmall.com.

Damn that shirt looks like ass.

[RynoVol]

+1. But Kiff's shirt is cool. Why won't they sell that, even in orange. What say ye, adidas?

I like Lane's, not what he is hold. Where can you get one of those?

Yeah, I like the white shirt Lane is wearing. No way I'd buy and wear that other shirt covered in rubber on the opening day game of the season. Talk about sweating...

[Sun Tzu Vol]

I remember seeing all the choices a while back. I just thought, could they possibly get any more crap on the front of a shirt. I bet these abortions don't sell well.

[VaVol]

I'm guessing this one was rejected. Too bad - this is the one I would buy:

hate it.

[BrassVols]

Now that I would pay good money for! Nice one Va!

This would look good as a header for a while.

some of the addidas stuff that UT has never goes up for sale to the public, some does. I dont think its until august though when they decide that. ya gotta know someone to get it if it doesnt get released. ;)

I agree.

I think it is a bit cheesey for the Athletic Dept to be promoting a freakin' T-Shirt to kick off the Kiffin era. And they are uglier than home made sin in my opinion. It seems everyone on OM thinks they suck. This is the first thing this group has agreed on since I started "lurking", so they must be really bad.

Memo to Mike H. - Everyone likes the button up casual shirts that Pearl and Lane have been sporting lately. Get our supplier (Adidas) to get them out on the market so our retailers can make some money. These poor people have lost so much revenue over the past few years on UT gear that they are starving for some fresh Vol gear that people want. Those shirts wouldn't be cheap, but they would sell. Tell Adidas to get off their ass.

I get most of my UT/Addidas gear when im down in knoxville from my buddy, he's the rep for addidas that handles the entire UT account. So I dont even have to go to the store to get it, but if you tell me what you want, I can tell you if its still in stores and where or if its discontinued or not.

[WestcoastVol]

I'm gonna put on my BillVol hat for a second here, so bear with me...

Why in the FUCK can't UT a) use the same goddamn shade of orange for all their stuff and b) can't they get someone to design something that looks halfway decent?!?

Point A above could be addressed but point B will never happen because most of the vol nation will buy any POS that has UT on it, so it's a moot point.

Well, Nibs if that shirt that Lane is wearing in the pic ever comes available for the public to buy, let us know when and where.

Those button-up polos were available last fall. They were in white, orange and black, I have one of each.

They were sold in Knoxville at the bookstore, Tennessee Traditions on campus, and Sport Seasons, which is where I got mine. Volmall.com had they, but it appears they've sold out.

I know Alumni Hall in Turkey Creek in Knoxville still has a few of them in orange and black, I was over there today.

I always felt like unofficial shirts were better anyway.

The CLK shirt in question is called the Adidas Big Game Full Button Polo. There is a traditional three-button polo that also goes under the name Big Game, but the differentiator is FULL BUTTON. The Adidas catalog says a redesign is scheduled Fall 09 so they may be limited to existing stock until the new ones come out. Good luck finding them anywhere online.

and if im not mistaken, i'll have to go look at mine, I think the striping is just a tad bit biddfferent also.

That shirt is ugly and in poor taste. Maybe we ought to win a game before we tell Urban to suck anything. Until we do, he tells us how bad we suck.

Yeah, the piping that runs along the collarbone on the three button isn't present on the full button.

Galla, that's my fark, not the real shirt. But if you're afraid of offending CUM you're probably in the minority.

UT has had hideous merchandise for quite awhile. The designs are horrible and less than 50% of them have the correct shade of orange. It is rare when I see UT merchandise I like well enough to purchase it.
