- On Thursday, the Tennessee Volunteers unveiled their 2026 Adidas Smokey Grey uniforms, honoring iconic head coach General Robert Neyland through design elements reflecting his military service and coaching legacy.
- These uniforms mark the 100th anniversary of Neyland's first season coaching the Volunteers, during which the Hall of Fame coach compiled a 173-31-12 record and won four national titles.
- The uniform features Neyland-specific details, including a leather-style helmet with a Brigadier General star, 1948 stadium blueprints on the shoulders, and a collar perforation referencing his call to "charge the checkerboards."
- For the first time since 1963, the helmet excludes the "T" logo; the team debuts these uniforms on October 3 against Auburn, with merchandise available starting September 1.
- Marking the fifth version of Smokey Grey uniforms, this is the first designed by Adidas, building on previous iterations that honored the "Volunteer Spirit," state flag, and Condredge Holloway.
