Tennessee’s current home uniform, a white uniform with Tennessee Volunteers on the front, was an alternate uniform in 2018-19 before it became the full-time home jersey. The Vols added an orange version of the throwback jersey for road games during the 2019-20 season.

UT previously wore all-white home uniforms and all-orange road uniforms that said “Tennessee” on the front. The Vols have worn Smokey Grey alternates in previous seasons, most recently in 2017.
