Tennessee football has given fans another look at what the Vols will wear this season under their new Adidas partnership, and this time it’s the white jerseys.
The reveal comes after Tennessee showed off the orange jerseys yesterday, giving UT Athletics supporters a clearer picture of the full look for the upcoming season. The new whites keep things clean and stripped down, with the 3-pronged font for the number 4 gone and no outlines around the numbers. Adidas and SEC patches sit offset on the collarbone, and the pants feature dual orange stripes.
There’s a bit of a throwback feel to the design, but the overall message is simple: less clutter, more classic.
The uniforms arrive as Tennessee enters the season with plenty of attention on the quarterback spot. George MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon have not been tested against SEC competition, which makes that position one of the biggest unknowns in the league.
Even so, the setup around them should help. Tennessee brings back DeSean Bishop, has an offensive line that should be a strength, and has capable targets such as Braylon Staley.
Defensively, the Vols will have to move forward without Joshua Josephs and Colton Hood, but there is still optimism about what the unit can become. Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles is in line to reshape the defense, and linebacker looks especially strong with Arion Carter, Edwin Spillman and Jadon Perlotte returning, plus transfer Amare Campbell joining the mix.
Tennessee opens the 2026 season against Furman on September 5.

Tennessees Week 1 QB Battle Just Took A Dramatic Turn
Tennessees Week 1 quarterback race has settled into a two-freshman fight, with Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre still the names to watch as fall approaches. Brandon has the kind of physical tools and leadership traits that make him easy to project, and the early read out of spring practice was that he had started to separate himself by preparing like the starter.
MacIntyre, though, has not gone away, and that is what keeps this battle interesting for the Volunteers. Brandon still has growing to do in the finer points of the position, especially with accuracy and touch, and the competition remains open enough that a strong summer or early camp stretch could still change the picture before Tennessee lines up for Week 1.

Tennessees New White Adidas Look Feels Like A Vols Throwback Moment
Tennessee and Adidas have kicked off their new uniform rollout with the full set of white football looks, giving Vols fans an early peek at what the program will wear this fall. The release is part of a multi-day schedule, with the rest of the unveilings set to arrive later in the week and all jerseys and merchandise slated to hit stores and online on July 10.
For Josh Heupel, the partnership has clearly struck the right chord, and the timing only adds to the buzz around a brand that already carries plenty of history in Knoxville. Tennessees last run with Adidas stretched from 1995 to 2015, a period that overlapped with some of the schools biggest championship moments, so this latest reveal feels less like a simple uniform drop and more like a return to a familiar stage.

Lady Vols Dealt Early Blow As Key Newcomer Suffers Major Setback
Tennessees summer rebuild took an immediate hit this week when Kim Caldwell announced a setback involving one of the newcomers expected to help shape the Lady Vols new-look roster. The injury came during a team skill workout, adding an early dose of uncertainty to a group that has already undergone major turnover and now features 15 incoming players trying to settle into roles.
For a program that spent the offseason remaking nearly everything, every practice rep matters, especially for transfer additions who were brought in to provide instant stability and production. Mills had been one of the pieces expected to factor prominently into that process, so her absence leaves Tennessee adjusting its plans before the season even gets close, with the next update on her status likely carrying real weight for how the rotation takes shape.
