Tennessee fans will be getting both a night game and black jerseys for their contest with Kentucky on Saturday.

The alternate jersey, also known as “Dark Mode”, is an all-black jersey with orange numbers, black pants with orange stripes, and black helmet with orange accents and Power T. The Volunteers announced the jersey pick via Twitter on Tuesday.

This is the first time Tennessee will debut a completely black uniform.  Last season, the Vols had a black uniform that they wore against South Carolina at home, but due to supply chain issues during the pandemic, were unable to get matching black helmets. Instead, players wore redesigned white helmets with black striping added in as accents.

It appears from the announcement as though the 7-0 Vols will have matching black helmets this time around, as they face No. 19 Kentucky at home on Saturday.
