Tennessee Athletics and Adidas unveiled the full set of new white uniforms on Tuesday morning, continuing a week-long rollout that has already given fans their first look at the orange set.
The white release covers the classic home and away look, with Tennessee set to keep the momentum going through the rest of the week. On Wednesday, the school will reveal Summitt Blue women’s uniforms, followed by Dark Mode uniforms on Thursday. All jerseys and merchandise are scheduled to go on sale in stores and online on July 10.
Tennessee Athletics also shared a teaser on social media, posting: “Something in the air \\”
Football coach Josh Heupel addressed the partnership in a statement last week and made clear how the program views the deal. “We appreciate adidas recognizing the power of the Tennessee brand and we are excited about the future of this transformative partnership.
Both current and future Vols will benefit from this historic deal,” Heupel said. “adidas is providing us with world-class resources and apparel that will continue to push our brand to the forefront of college football for years to come. We can’t wait to showcase our adidas uniforms this fall.”
The school’s history with Adidas runs deep. Tennessee was with the company from 1995-2015, a span that included the football program’s 1998 National Championship and Lady Vols basketball titles in 1996, 97, 98, 2007 and 08. Tennessee then moved to Nike on July 1, 2015, and later wore the swoop while winning the 2024 College World Series.

Vols Lose Out On Elite Linebacker Target In Brutal Recruiting Miss
Roman Igwebuikes recruitment had long been one for Tennessee fans to watch, especially with the Chicago linebacker drawing attention as one of the top defenders in the 2027 class. The Vols had been involved early, and the connection made sense given the work former linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary did on the trail before moving on to Notre Dame.
Even with Tennessee already building some linebacker momentum in the class, this one had the feel of a major swing opportunity. Igwebuike made it to Knoxville for the Orange and White Game, but the Vols never got him back for an official visit, leaving plenty of room for another program to seize control of the race.

Tennessee May Have A Hidden Edge In Battle For David Gabriel Georges
The recruiting race for five-star running back David Gabriel Georges has narrowed into a summer decision that now feels as much about fit and feel as it does about football. Tennessee remains in the mix alongside Ohio State and Ole Miss after official visits, and the Volunteers have at least one fresh selling point working in their favor: the programs new adidas partnership, which gives the staff another angle to pitch as Georges weighs his options.
Georges is expected to announce his college choice on July 22, and the path to that decision has already taken a few turns, including a canceled planned trip to Georgia. For Tennessee, the challenge is simple enough to state and hard to finish - keep the momentum from the visit season, make the most of the late-stage push, and hope the new-look brand package helps separate the Vols from two other heavyweight contenders.

Joey Aguilar Just Showed How Much Tennessee Still Means To Him
Joey Aguilars lone season at Tennessee left a real imprint, from the numbers he put up to the way he helped steer the Vols to a key win at Florida. Even after moving on to the next level, the quarterback has made it clear the year meant more than a stopover, and a tattoo on his left leg now says as much about his path as any stat line ever could.
For Tennessee, the bigger picture is what comes next. Aguilar is gone to the NFL, and the Vols are left sorting out a quarterback room that now centers on Faizon Brandon, George MacIntyre and Ryan Staub, with the job opening up at a moment when the program is trying to carry forward what Aguilar helped build.
