July 09, 2026 | Football, General
The Dark Mode football uniforms and the electric atmosphere that accompanies them inspire some of the most memorable nights not only at Neyland Stadium, but across the sport's national landscape. Dark Mode jerseys were first worn by the Volunteers in 2009 and then brought back in 2021.
The Dark Mode football uniforms are cutting-edge, serving as a showcase for the most innovative and fashion-forward designs in the college athletics space.
The Dark Mode football uniforms are contemporary, looking forward rather than backward. They are distinctly modern in both execution and appeal.
The Dark Mode football uniforms are fresh, providing an opportunity to do what has never been done before at the University of Tennessee in terms of design features and style.
Like the orange and white ones, all the Dark Mode football uniforms feature a new number font, combining traditional block with a modern style. The Tennessee creative team, alongside many adidas designers, worked for months to create an updated style to better represent the Tennessee brand.
The Dark Mode football uniforms feature a front collar Power T logo inside a subtle circle to make it even more iconic. The historic “I will give my all!” slogan, in the exact font, is now located on the inside collar and the traditional stripes are on the pants.
